Vivent Carbon pays farmers, fishing cooperatives, and community land stewards for the carbon their land stores or the carbon their practices remove from the atmosphere. Fair contracts, mobile payments, full FPIC protection, and 20-year community partnerships.
"For the first time, the land my family has farmed for three generations is earning us a fair income from the carbon it holds."
Vivent's aggregation model was specifically designed so that smallholder farmers and small coastal cooperatives — not just large landholders — can access carbon markets. If you have land or water and a community, you qualify.
The carbon market was designed for institutions, not communities. Vivent absorbs all of the technical complexity — baseline surveys, methodology compliance, audits, registry management — so that you can focus on farming and land stewardship while we handle everything else.
These are verified median figures from active Vivent programmes — not projections. Your actual income will depend on land area, pathway, and annual carbon market prices.
The carbon market has a history of treating communities as a resource to be extracted, not partners to be supported. These are the commitments that define how Vivent operates — and that are written into every contract we sign.
"Before Vivent came, this land had no value — it was degraded wasteland. Now it earns my household more than two months of agricultural income every year, just from the trees we planted."
₹28,400/year additional income · Year 4"I was sceptical at first — I'd heard about carbon projects that promised a lot and delivered nothing. But the first payment came exactly when they said it would, and it was exactly the amount they showed me."
₱21,600/year additional income · Year 2"The biochar from our cocoa waste goes back into our fields. Our soil is better now. Our yields are higher. And we earn from the carbon too. It's the same work — more income."
GHS 4,800/year additional income · Year 3"Our ancestors protected this forest for generations without any payment. Now the carbon market finally recognises that value. The community voted unanimously to join — we saw it as justice, not charity."
Community fund: USD $2,400/quarter · Year 1"When the mangroves come back, the fish come back. My catch has increased 40% in four years. The carbon payment is a bonus on top of something we can see every day when we go fishing."
IDR 4.8M/year additional income · Year 4"We are 72% women in our cooperative. Carbon income goes directly to the household — it goes to children's school fees and healthcare. It doesn't disappear into something else."
KES 39,200/year additional income · Year 3We have active programmes in 12+ countries. If your country isn't listed, contact us — we are continuously expanding.
