Improved Agricultural Land Management

Agoro Carbon USA Cropland Program

Empowers farmers to implement regenerative agricultural practices that remove carbon, enhance climate resiliency, and improve soil health, water quality, and biodiversity.

The Agoro Carbon Cropland project is delivering a solution to the world’s carbon challenge that is grounded in the soil. The project implements a package of regenerative agricultural land management activities such as (but not limited to) reduced and zero tillage and cover cropping to remove GHG emissions from agricultural cropland. The implementation of these practices achieves a range of beneficial outcomes, including enhanced carbon sequestration rates in the soil, minimized soil disturbance and erosion, amplified crop residue, and improved water management. As a result, significant improvements in soil, water, and air quality occur, fostering greater biological diversity, and providing vital natural habitats while optimizing ecosystem functioning. The project provides the financial, agronomic, and educational support needed for growers to implement regenerative land management practices on croplands that not only produce agricultural products sustainably and profitably but also have a positive impact on climate change. Agoro Carbon credits are additional, encompass strong permanence characteristics, contribute to a variety of benefits beyond carbon sequestration, and are reinforced by a robust MRV framework underpinned by physical soil sample measurements. Investing in Agoro Carbon quality credits supports the global transformation of agriculture that will benefit farmers and the planet. The Agoro Carbon Cropland project is making a substantial impact, currently managing an impressive 330,000 acres (133,546 hectares) with further expansion underway. Throughout its lifespan, it is projected to remove approximately 8.7 million metric tons of CO2e, making a significant contribution to combatting climate change. Setting Agoro Carbon apart is its pioneering role as the sole developer offering SD VISTa Ag Carbon projects in the market. These projects will incorporate several verified Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Zero Hunger, Quality Education, Clean Water and Sanitation, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Climate Action.
