Biology & Carbon Sequestration Go Hand In Hand
We're thrilled to announce that our flagship products, Worm Brew® and Worm Mod®, are now available on the AgriProve Marketplace. This collaboration connects farmers with practical, biology-driven tools to supercharge soil health, boost productivity, and unlock new revenue from carbon sequestration projects.
Why This Partnership Matters for Australian Farmers
AgriProve is Australia's leading soil carbon project developer and technology partner. Responsible for over 70% of all soil carbon projects successfully registered under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme, AgriProve has established more than 680 projects covering 150,000+ hectares as of September 2025. Headquartered in Albury, they work hand-in-hand with farmers and supply chains to improve soil health, increase productivity, reduce emissions, and enhance nature repair.
Their farmer-led model channels cutting-edge technology, capital, and expertise to scale soil carbon farming and accelerate regenerative practices. The results speak for themselves:
- 584 soil carbon projects declared with the Clean Energy Regulator (about one-third of all Australian carbon projects).
- 570+ baseline soil sampling rounds and 25,000+ soil carbon samples collected.
- Verified soil organic carbon increases across 72+ projects, with over 204,000 ACCUs in review, report, and audit stages.
- 32 projects already issued 88,011 ACCUs.
- The only soil carbon developer accredited under ISO 9001, ensuring top-tier quality, integrity, and farmer confidence.
Worm Brew® and Worm Mod®: Biology in Action on the AgriProve Marketplace
With this partnership, farmers undertaking carbon projects will be able to access approved Worms Downunder products for their soil programs. Worm Brew® can be applied as part of an eligible carbon activity, delivering a potent blend of beneficial microbes and nutrients directly to your soils. Meanwhile, Worm Mod® enables farmers to convert on-farm waste into high-value worm castings.
The AgriProve Platform makes it all seamless. This free tool uncovers opportunities hidden in your operation by integrating soil data, livestock insights, market credentials, and product access. It measures and verifies soil carbon, connects you to premium markets and flexible finance, and breaks down barriers to execution.
The Science of Carbon Sequestration: How Vermicomposting and Microbes Lock Carbon in Soil
At the core of this partnership is carbon sequestration - the process of capturing atmospheric CO₂ and storing it long-term in the soil. Vermicomposting (worm-based composting) and microbial activity are game-changers here, turning organic matter into stable soil carbon that benefits farms for years.
- Worms fragment organic material, increasing surface area for microbial attack.
- Their castings form stable aggregates that protect carbon from decomposition, sequestering it in humus forms that can persist for decades.
- Studies show vermicompost can increase soil organic carbon by 20-50% compared to traditional composting, reducing CO₂ emissions while enhancing water retention and nutrient cycling.
- Microbes break down plant residues and worm castings, converting labile (short-lived) carbon into recalcitrant forms like humic acids - essentially "gluing" carbon into the soil matrix.
- Fungal hyphae create networks that bind soil particles, preventing carbon loss through erosion or respiration.
Together, vermicomposting and microbes create a virtuous cycle: more organic inputs → enhanced worm and microbial populations → greater carbon stabilization → healthier, more resilient soils.
