About Faeger

Faeger is a startup founded in 2022 with the purpose: “Pave the Way to a Sustainable and Fair Tomorrow”.
The company is working to realize sustainable agriculture, beginning with the promotion of decarbonized farming practices using the carbon credit system as a key driver of climate change mitigation. In addition, Faeger is also advancing adaptive solutions such as heat and drought resilience technologies.

Agriculture is a critical industry that underpins global food security, yet it is increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including reduced yields and quality. By supporting the adoption of decarbonized practices and visualizing their outcomes, Faeger aims to create a feedback loop where social incentives can be returned to farmers and reinvested into adaptation strategies and local problem-solving.

In the context of decarbonization and carbon credits, Faeger believes that it is essential not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but to ensure that projects are meaningful for buyers, deliver social value, and benefit local communities. The company is committed to expanding its partnerships with businesses that share its vision of co-creating a sustainable agricultural system.
