Thomas Gent
Thomas Gent of Gentle Farming was the first UK farmer to join the AgreenaCarbon programme in the UK, and he has since collaborated with Agreena to bring its carbon payment programme to other UK farmers. The system allows a farmer to remain fully in control of their carbon certificates and choose to add as many or as few fields into the system as they feel comfortable with.
