“A person who stops doing new things, stops learning — essentially ceases to exist.”

With these words, Farmer Wojciech, a farmer with years of experience, explains why he joined the Carbon Farming Program. For him, the key goal is soil fertility: “The amount of carbon in the soil reflects its fertility — and that’s what matters most to me.”

Although results don’t appear overnight, Farmer Wojciech understands that improving soil health is a long-term process. He acknowledges that adopting regenerative practices — like leaving crop residues or reducing tillage — requires patience, but it brings meaningful impact.

Why did he choose to work with InSoil (formerly HeavyFinance)?
“It was the first company to come forward with a realistic offer — no upfront investment, no need to prepare the entire program or sell carbon credits on my own. That made all the difference.”

Today, he’s starting comprehensive soil sampling to assess humus and organic carbon levels and is curious to see how much he can influence carbon sequestration. As he notes, increasing carbon by just 1% might take a whole generation — but it’s worth the effort.

It’s farmers like Farmer Wojciech who are shaping the future of agriculture in Poland — wisely, respectfully, and with a long-term vision.
