    Catalyze agriculture as a climate change solution

    Support farmers with high quality, registry-issued, agriculture carbon credits generated at scale. By adopting sustainable practices, farmers can reduce and sequester carbon dioxide, while enriching their soil. Your company can directly support the farmers leading the way on this unique climate solution.

    helping make agriculture a climate solution

    Proven climate impact

    Carbon credits produced through the Carbon by Indigo program meet the highest possible standards for impact measurement. That’s because we worked with the Climate Action Reserve and Verra to help develop the strictest soil methodologies on the market. Indigo is currently the only soil carbon program that meets these standards, ensuring that your climate impact is real and backed by the latest science.

    Catalyzing carbon farming

    Soil can hold billions of tons of carbon, but farmers have never been given a sufficient financial incentive to pursue climate impact. You can change that by helping farmers adopt practices like cover crops and reduced tillage that improve the health of their soil, their bottom line, and the planet.

    How Carbon by Indigo works

    farming 1. Farmers make practice changes
    By adding new or intensifying practices, farmers improve their soil health. Agronomists support farmers through the transition.
    verification 2. Carbon credit generation
    Soil samples and on-farm data are collected and anonymized, with results securely shared for verification and credit issuance.
    payment 3. Corporations purchase credits
    Indigo facilitates the payout process delivering at least 75% of the average credit price directly to the farmer.

    Indiana

    On Lehe Farms in Indiana, Chris Lehe and his family implemented no-till and cover crops. They joined Carbon by Indigo to add a revenue stream for the carbon they sequestered.

    “As the market for carbon credits expands, the farmer's going to be able to see that with the increased revenue because we're getting paid for the carbon we sequestering. So as that becomes more valuable, that's more money in the farmer's pocket.”

    On her family’s farm in Ohio, Kasey uses digital technology and natural microbiology to enrich her soil and produce a healthier crop. They may be in their first year of using cover crops and no-till, but this experience with the latest tools serves them well as they implement regenerative farming practices and reduce inputs. They have already seen a large-scale weed reduction.

    North Dakota

    North Dakota farmer Paul Overby and his wife started exploring reduced tillage, cover crops, and crop rotation on their 1300-acre operation. Since then, they’ve seen labor and cost savings, better yields and quality, increased soil health, and a new carbon sequestration revenue stream.

    “We’re getting better yields and better quality over time with this process.”

    In Northeast Indiana, this father and son duo farm corn and soybeans using cover crops and reduced tillage. Incremental changes overtime have improved their soil resiliency and, by enrolling in Carbon by Indigo, they’ve added a new revenue stream to their farm.

    “We can leave the soil better than we found it and we can make more money doing it.”
