Agricultural trade supplemented by Carbon Farming service
An accredited laboratory determines the humus content in the initial condition. Then it will be discussed which measures make sense to successfully build up humus. After five years, another sampling will take place to evaluate the success of the chosen measures. After another five years, the final examination of the soil will be carried out. The calculated sequestration of CO2 is used to calculate the farmers revenue which will be funded by companies interested in buying carbon credits.
The business of ATR Landhandel is centered around agriculture. They deliver compound feed, seed, fertilizer, plant protection, and other products to farmers.

The company has become the private supplier with the largest direct sales volume of agricultural inputs in Germany, and is mainly focussing on Northern and Eastern Germany as well as on Denmark and Poland.
