AgriCarbon™ launched in March 2021 – we started this journey to harness the power of nature to remove carbon from the atmosphere by rewarding farmers who build healthy soil and producing the most scientifically rigorous agricultural carbon credits possible.
This presents an exciting opportunity for farmers to lead the way in tackling the enormous challenge climate change presents while at the same time accessing a new revenue stream.
Over time, we have had to adapt, grow and overcome real adversity while slowly but surely building on our incremental wins. To date we have enrolled: +150,000 hectares and +100 farmers into the programme.
Our vision is to build long-lasting partnerships and
relationships that have impact at scale and enroll one million hectares by 2025!

“Climate change is the biggest challenge humanity faces today. The science around climate change is clear. The recently released IPCC 6th assessment report highlights that we need to improve agricultural practices and also that carbon removals are essential to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees. But there are solutions here and now. Soil is one of the largest carbon sinks we have. By adopting sustainable agricultural practices, combined with cutting edge science and technology, farmers can play an essential role in capturing and storing carbon in healthy soils.”
