“As one of the first players in this new industry, (the group has acquired) leases and pastoral rights (on) more than 350,000 hectares of agricultural land, approximately 3.5 times the total area of ​​Hong Kong , aimed at carbon sequestration in Australia,” said Kam Hing Lam, Deputy Managing Director of CK Asset and CK Hutchison and Chairman of CK Life Sciences.

Regenerative agriculture, according to the Rodale Institute organic agriculture researcher, is “a holistic approach to agriculture that encourages continuous innovation and improvement in environmental, social and economic measures.” One of his areas of interest is biosequestration, which captures produced carbon and stores it in a pool, helping to limit climate change. This carbon sequestration is at the center of the CK Group’s regenerative agriculture project in Australia.

“We hope that through these regenerative agriculture programs we will make our contribution to reducing carbon emissions,” Kam said. In the future, more regenerative agriculture projects will be pursued, he added.

Australia delivers high-quality sequestration projects, operates an established regulatory system and has a growing market for carbon credits, the group said in a statement.
