Our take
To help combat the climate crisis, Soil Capital supports farmers in regenerating their soil and earning money by storing carbon. Through its programs, companies can invest in regenerative agriculture, funding farmers who embrace this carbon-cutting process.
The company's certification programme is designed to enable long-term positive outcomes from regenerative practices. It involves yearly assessments that measure soil health and the progression of regenerative practices and rewards farmers based on quantifiable impact.
Companies who invest can make their supply chains more resilient, and reduce their scope 3 emissions against international standards like SBTi. This approach has won Soil Capital considerable funds that it will use to extend its action to all agri-food sectors.
