Mateusz Ciasnocha

Mateusz Ciasnocha is a third-generation farmer operating a 700ha regenerative agricultural business in northern Poland on a mission of transitioning agriculture from conventional to regenerative with farmers at the centre at the pace and scale required to unleash the world’s greatest carbon capture and storage pool: healthy and living agricultural soil. Building on his background, global experiences and networks, as well as commitment to regenerative agriculture, Mateusz – together with his brother, Paweł – set up European Carbon Farmers: a business promoting carbon farming practices in Poland and developing agricultural carbon payment mechanisms. Mateusz is actively involved in the work of the UNFCCC’s COP26 – Climate Champions, where he is the Regenerative Agriculture Fellow, the Economy of Francesco’s Agriculture and Justice Village, where he co-facilitates work of the Startup Stream focused on developing a network of regenerative demo farms, as well as EIT Food, where he manages the regenerative agriculture program in Poland.
