Buy climate benefits – for real
Everyone talks about carbon offsetting. Few offer real climate benefit.
At Hasta Eco, you can buy climate benefits that are stored in Swedish arable land, strengthening soil health, biodiversity, and food security – while simultaneously providing nutritious food.
This is a climate benefit that remains, year after year.
Why 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare per year?
Our regenerative farming system builds soil carbon through photosynthesis, returns biomass and roots to the soil, and stimulates the soil's microbiome so that carbon is stably sequestered.
Based on long-term field trials, established research on regenerative agriculture, and practical results from similar systems in the Nordics and Europe, 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ per hectare per year is a cautious and realistic level for net sequestration of stable carbon in soil.
It's not a theoretical model – it's biology in practice.
What does "buying climate benefit" mean?
When you buy climate benefits from us, you finance regenerative farming, enable more carbon sequestration, and strengthen a system that simultaneously produces food.
You're not buying a paper credit. You're investing in a functioning ecosystem.
Why does climate benefit cost SEK 3 per kilo of CO₂?
We have chosen an open and reasonable pricing model. SEK 3 per kilo of CO₂ covers the costs of regenerative transition, measurement and monitoring, and long-term carbon sequestration.
By way of comparison, the Swedish Transport Administration uses a value of approximately SEK 7 per kilo of CO₂ in its socioeconomic calculations. Your investment is therefore cost-effective – society's actual climate cost is significantly higher than what you pay.
We don't charge for promises – but for real benefits. If we help each other, we can make a real difference, for the climate and for health.

Common questions about Hasta Eco
What is Hasta Eco?
Hasta Eco is a regenerative, organic farming system and a knowledge-driven food initiative. The operation is based on more than ten years of practical field experience in organic and regenerative farming. The focus is on: - Soil health and biological activity - Carbon sequestration and climate balance - Companion planting and intercropping - Nutrient-dense foods - Reduced external inputs Hasta Eco views the soil as a living system – not as a substrate.
Is Hasta Eco organically certified?
Yes. The cultivation is carried out in accordance with the EU's organic regulations and is KRAV-certified where relevant. In addition, Hasta Eco applies its own regenerative framework which goes further than the regulations by focusing on processes in the soil over time.
What is meant by regenerative organic farming?
Regenerative ecological farming means not settling for "not doing harm," but actively working to: - Build the soil microbiome - Increase humus content and carbon sequestration - Improve water retention capacity - Create a stable nutrient supply - Reduce the need for fertilization year by year
Why is soil health central?
A healthy soil: - Binds carbon - Retains water - Prevents nutrient leakage - Provides plants with micronutrients - Supports the plant's immune system Without soil health, there is no long-term food production.
Climate benefit
Regenerative ecological systems: - Bind 2–3 tons of CO₂/ha/year - Reduce nitrogen emissions - Improve water balance
What is intercropping?
Intercropping means that several plant species are grown together, for example: - Cereals + legumes - Hemp + clover + lucerne Legumes fix nitrogen, cereals contribute carbon, and together they continuously feed the soil's microbiome.
Do plants communicate with each other?
Yes. Chemical communication between plants and microorganisms occurs via root exudates and mycorrhizal fungi. This controls: - Nutrient flows - Defense against diseases - Growth and maturity
What is the Earth's microbiome?
The microbiome consists of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. They: - Break down organic matter - Bind carbon in a stable form - Make nutrients available to plants - Protect against pathogens
Human health
Nourishment from living soil: - More micronutrients - Better amino acid profiles - Lower inflammatory burden
Is it possible to grow without fertilizer?
Yes – in systems with successful intercropping, cover crops, and active microbiomes. Fertilization is then only used as an adjustment, not as a driving force.
Why today's food system is inefficient
High input → low biological value. External costs for climate and health.
Why are consumers needed?
Demand drives systems. Without consumer power – no change.
Why is the C/N balance crucial?
Nitrogen cannot be biologically processed without carbon. Fertilization without carbon takes carbon from the soil's humus → soil loss. Optimal C/N ratio (10–12): - Provides carbon sequestration - Stable nutrient availability - Lower emissions
BioConverse – why?
BioConverse: - Stabilises organic matter - Reduces ammonia emissions - Controls microbial activity - Improves nitrogen efficiency
Fertilizing – when and why?
Fertilization is used: - To balance - Not to drive The amount is adjusted according to the crop, previous crop, and microbiome status.
Hemp and fertiliser
Hemp is sensitive to high microbial activity early on. Often, a preceding crop is sufficient. Any additions are made during chopping.
Frequently Asked Questions about Natural Farming
What does "natural" mean?
Nature-friendly means that food is produced in harmony with nature's own systems instead of counteracting them. It's about balance in the soil, between plants, microorganisms, animals, and humans – and about letting biological processes govern instead of chemical shortcuts.
Is "naturriktigt" the same as "organic"?
No, but organic is often a foundation. Nature-centric goes further than regulations and focuses on how systems function over time: soil health, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and nutrient quality – not just what is permitted or prohibited.
What is meant by living soil?
Living soil contains an active microbiome of bacteria, fungi, and other organisms. These make nutrients available to plants, sequester carbon, retain water, and protect against diseases. Without living soil, there is no long-term sustainable food production.
What is companion planting and why is it important?
Intercropping means that several plant species are grown together. It mimics nature's own systems and provides: more stable nutrient flows, better nitrogen management, increased biodiversity, and less need for fertilizer. Intercropping is a cornerstone of nature-based agriculture.
Why does Hasta Eco grow without chemical pesticides?
Chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides affect not only pests but also soil life and the plant's natural defenses. When the soil's biology is weakened, the nutritional value and resilience of food also decrease.
How does artificial fertilizer affect plant nutrition?
Artificial fertilizers can increase yields in the short term but risk: decreasing microbial activity, impairing root development, and creating nutrient imbalance in the plant. Nature-based systems, on the other hand, focus on biological nutrient cycling.
How does the Earth's microbiome affect the food we eat?
The microbiome controls which nutrients the plant can absorb. Rich biological activity often leads to crops with: higher mineral content, better amino acid profiles, and a more natural balance between carbohydrates, protein, and fat. This, in turn, affects human health.
What does climate-positive agriculture mean?
Climate-positive agriculture means that more carbon dioxide is sequestered in the soil than is emitted. This occurs through photosynthesis, root growth, and microbial activity – not through technical offsets.
Why is carbon sequestration important for food production?
Carbon is the basis of soil fertility. When carbon is sequestered in the soil: soil structure is improved, water retention capacity is increased, and nutrient flows are stabilized. This benefits both the climate and food quality.
Why is balance so important in nature?
All living systems seek balance. When this balance is disturbed – in the soil, in a plant's nutrient uptake, or in a human's diet – problems arise. Natural farming aims to restore and maintain this balance instead of compensating for imbalances with external inputs.
Is intercropped food more nutritious than monoculture?
Research and practical experience show that intercropped systems often yield crops with a broader nutritional profile. This is due to better interaction between roots and the microbiome, as well as a more even supply of micronutrients.
Circulated manure provides nutrient-rich food – how?
When nutrients are retained in the soil or returned and biologically bound, plants can absorb them at their own pace. This reduces losses and makes nutrients more available to the crop.
- Higher nutrient content in food
- Stable supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and micronutrients
- Reduced climate emissions and healthier soil
How does a nature-based approach relate to human health?
Humans are biologically adapted to food from living systems. Naturally produced food: is less processed, contains more natural nutrients, and places less metabolic strain on the body. This can contribute to better long-term health.
What is Hasta HERO and how does it relate to being nature-friendly?
Hasta HERO is the community around nature-friendly thinking. Change is not only happening in agriculture but also through consumer choices, commitment, and knowledge. HERO makes it possible to build systems together.
Why isn't sustainability enough?
Sustainability often means reducing harm. Nature-based and regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, aims to improve systems over time – ecologically, biologically, and socially.
Is "naturriktigt" a traditional or modern way of growing?
Both. Naturriktigt is based on ancient biological principles but uses modern knowledge to understand and strengthen them. It's not a step backward – but a step deeper.
Is it naturally scalable?
Yes, but not through industrialisation. Scalability lies in knowledge, system understanding, and collaboration – not in increased chemical intensity.
How can I as a consumer contribute?
By: choosing naturally produced food, supporting producers who work regeneratively, spreading knowledge, participating in communities such as Hasta HERO. Demand drives the future food system.
Frequently asked questions about Hasta HERO
What is Hasta HERO?
Hasta HERO is a community and engagement program for people who want to be part of changing the food system in practice. It is not a traditional loyalty program but a shared commitment where consumers, farmers, and knowledge carriers collaborate for regenerative agriculture, better health, and a stable climate.
Why did Hasta create the HERO concept?
Hasta has realized that real change cannot be driven by producers alone. Without the active participation of consumers, no structures will change. The HERO concept exists to empower people to contribute, spread knowledge, and create demand for regenerative food.
Who can become a HERO?
Everyone who shares the values of soil health, food quality, climate responsibility, and the well-being of future generations. You don't need to be an expert – a willingness to learn, share, and act is enough.
How to become a HERO?
You register via Hasta Eco's website. After registration, you become part of the HEROcommunity and gain access to discounts, knowledge, and the opportunity to influence.
How does the discount system work?
Registered HERO: 10% discount on self-grown products. If you recruit a new HERO: 15% discount. Active in social media and knowledge dissemination: 20% discount. The discount is a way for Hasta to show appreciation – not the main purpose of HERO.
What does it mean to be an active HERO?
Being active means sharing knowledge, participating in discussions, spreading content on social media, and helping more people understand the connection between soil, food, and health.
Do you have to be an influencer?
No. The HERO concept is not based on followers but on authenticity. Ordinary people who share real knowledge are more important than large accounts.
What is HERO Clothing?
HERO Clothing represents a commitment to regenerative agriculture and the future of food systems. It's a way to show what you stand for.
How does the discount work at HERO Clothing?
HERO: 50% discount. If you recruit a new HERO: 75% discount. The purpose is to support those who carry and spread the message.
What is expected of a HERO?
No coercion. HERO is based on voluntariness, community, and responsibility. You contribute in the way you can – through conversation, sharing, purchasing, or participation.
How does HERO contribute to the climate?
By creating a demand for regenerative food, the HERO community contributes to increased carbon sequestration, reduced emissions, and healthier soils.
How does HERO contribute to health?
Regenerative food contains more micronutrients and fewer by-products linked to inflammation. HERO contributes to a food system that supports long-term health.
Is HERO a closed system?
No. HERO is open, growing and inclusive. The more people who participate, the stronger the effect.
How does HERO differ from traditional loyalty programs?
HERO is not primarily about consumption but about relationships, knowledge and systemic change. The discount is secondary – impact is the goal.
What happens if HERO grows?
As the HERO community grows, Hasta can invest more in soil health, research, education, and accessibility. This creates a positive spiral for the entire system.
How do I know that HERO makes a difference?
The difference is visible in the soil, in the crops, in the nutritional content, and in people's understanding. Change takes time – HERO is built for the long term.
How can HERO be developed going forward?
Future steps may include local HERO groups, training, events, and collaborative projects. The community shapes the development together with Hasta.
Frequently asked questions about circular cultivation
What does Hasta Eco mean by circular food production?
That all nutrients, biomass, and energy circulate within the system – from soil to plant to human and back to soil – without unnecessary losses.
How does this differ from conventional farming?
In many systems, residual biomass is seen as waste. At Hasta Eco, it is a key resource for the next harvest.
What happens to the biomass that isn't food?
It is returned to the earth through biological processes that preserve carbon, nitrogen, and microbial life instead of releasing them into the atmosphere.
What is the role of fermentation in the system?
Fermentation stabilises nutrients so that they are not lost, while also strengthening microbial life for the next growing season.
What is seed coating?
Biological seed treatment with microorganisms that help the plant establish faster and absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Why is it important to avoid gas losses?
When biomass is improperly decomposed, both nutrients and energy are lost as CO₂, methane, and ammonia. This creates a climate impact and reduces the soil's long-term fertility.
Is circular food production efficient?
Yes – because the system reduces the need for external inputs and builds soil fertility over time, it becomes both holistically efficient and long-term stable.
Is this scalable?
Yes. The principles are based on nature's own laws and work on both a small and a larger scale.
