THE FUSE

South African farmers are under growing pressure from rising input costs, climate volatility and the need to build long‑term resilience, yet many remain unsure how carbon markets can work in a practical, credible way for agriculture. It is against this backdrop that Standard Bank Business and Commercial Banking (BCB) is pleased to announce its partnership with Orizon Agriculture, a South African carbon project developer that enables farmers to turn regenerative farming practices into verified carbon credits, while participating in carbon markets without taking on additional complexity.
