The launch of Agoro Carbon Alliance is aimed at enabling the decarbonization of India’s food system
Agoro Carbon Alliance, a global business created for farmers to earn additional revenue from positive climate action, has forayed into the Indian market. Backed by Yara, one of the global agriculture leaders in crop nutrition and integrated with Yara’s global reach, Agoro Carbon Alliance aims to build a more sustainable and profitable food future.
In India, Agoro Carbon Alliance will enable Indian farmers to generate an additional, sustainable income from carbon cropping while maintaining or even increasing crop yields. Agoro Carbon puts Indian farmers at the centre of the solution by incentivising and enabling them to change practices and connecting them to the growing number of businesses that are looking to achieve their climate pledges.
Prithviraj Sen Sharma, MD, Agoro Carbon Alliance India, said, “Agoro aims to foray into the next major planetary-scale agricultural revolution with farmers spearheading the approach locally. Agoro Carbon will provide state-of-the-art digital connectivity to millions of Indian farmers, enabling hyperlocal and granular decision support mechanisms. The platform will further create direct market linkages and enable the discovery of the local grower globally.”
With commercial operations across four continents, Agoro Carbon Alliance aims to decarbonise farming and restore carbon to the world’s soil by implementing technologically advanced carbon cropping practices.
