Indigo has announced a new crop of global companies committed to advancing agriculture’s potential.
Indigo Agriculture, a company dedicated to harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet, has recently announced additional multi-year commitments to purchase verified agricultural carbon credits through Indigo Carbon. Maple Leaf Foods and Epiphany Craft Malt will purchase verified agricultural carbon credits to further their sustainability objectives.
Cool Effect will offer Indigo Carbon credits to buyers on their existing platform, allowing both individuals and organizations to fulfill their sustainability goals with high-quality offsets. The North Face will provide Indigo-partner farmers with a premium for cotton grown with regenerative practices and is incentivizing new practice adoption. Through these commitments, the companies join a growing cohort of private industry leaders spurring the global effort to leverage agriculture as a meaningful climate solution.
With an inaugural credit purchase price of $20/tonne of carbon dioxide equivalents sequestered and abated, Indigo Carbon allows companies to directly finance growers’ transitions to cultivation practices that improve their soil health, profitability, and the environment at large. Representing a new income stream for farmers, the credits establish an outcomes-based mechanism to accelerate the adoption of agronomic methods proven to reduce on-farm emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Indigo Carbon presents the first agricultural carbon credit project to deploy scalable, registry-approved methodologies for monitoring and quantifying net on-farm greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and removals. As the first project developer to adopt and operationalize these protocols, Indigo Carbon enables companies to turn to agriculture – currently a largely untapped strategy for achieving environmental targets – with offsets that adhere to the highest industry standards for measurement, reporting, and verification.
