Regenerative agriculture carbon credits represent one of the most compelling opportunities for corporations to advance their sustainability goals while supporting the transformation of global food systems. With agriculture contributing 10-16 billion tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually to global greenhouse gas emissions, the transition to regenerative practices offers a scalable, cost-effective pathway to carbon removal that delivers measurable environmental co-benefits.
Agriculture stands at a critical crossroads in the climate crisis. The sector currently accounts for approximately 13-21% of global emissions when including forestry and land use change. Global agrifood systems generated 16.2 billion tonnes of CO₂ equivalent in 2022, representing roughly one-third of total anthropogenic emissions. Primary emission sources include:
Livestock operations produce approximately 4 billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent annually, accounting for 6% of global emissions through enteric fermentation and manure management.
Synthetic fertilizers and soil management release significant nitrous oxide (N₂O), a greenhouse gas 298 times more potent than CO₂.
Tillage and soil disturbance accelerate the decomposition of soil organic matter, releasing stored carbon back into the atmosphere.
Land use conversion from forests and grasslands to agricultural production contributes an additional 3 gigatons of CO₂ equivalent annually.
Regenerative agriculture fundamentally reverses agriculture's role from climate liability to climate asset. By implementing practices such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, crop rotation, managed grazing, and organic amendments, farmers can sequester atmospheric carbon dioxide directly into soil organic matter. Research demonstrates that regenerative agriculture practices can sequester around 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare annually, with the Rodale Institute estimating that widespread adoption could offset up to 23% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Our soil carbon removal credits represent verified greenhouse gas emission carbon removals achieved through improved agricultural land management practices. Each credit equals one metric ton of CO₂ equivalent either sequestered in soil or prevented from entering the atmosphere through regenerative farming techniques.
Soil Organic Carbon is estimated using “Measure and remeasure” approach combined with AI-based precision modelling as guided by: GHG Benefits in Managed Crop and Grassland Systems Credit Class. GHG quantification is basedon the Verra methodology. 20% of credits are placed in a buffer pool to secure permanence and manage reversal risks.
Up to 1,000,000 tonnes of CO₂e removal credits by 2027.
Science-Based Target Alignment: Regenerative agriculture credits align with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) frameworks, which increasingly recognize the role of high-quality removals in achieving net-zero goals.
Scope 3 Emissions Mitigation: For companies not only with significant agricultural supply chains, regenerative agriculture credits provide a practical mechanism to address Scope 3 emissions—often the largest and most difficult portion of corporate carbon footprints.
Beyond Carbon: Multiple Co-Benefits: Unlike some carbon removal types, regenerative agriculture delivers extensive environmental and social co-benefits that align with broader ESG objectives and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
Brand Reputation and Market Positioning: Companies investing in regenerative agriculture credits can authentically communicate environmental stewardship through compelling storytelling that resonates with consumers.
