How growers can use environmental assets and carbon programs to de-risk and fund regenerative transitions

In our work with regenerative growers, primarily in high-value crops, we’ve found that very few are participating in carbon programs. Our customers typically pursue regenerative agriculture for a more-profitable and sustainable means of production. Carbon sequestration and revenue is not the primary reason to pursue regenerative agriculture, but there is no doubt that regenerative farmers take significant amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and put it into their soils and ecosystems. While the carbon spotlight in the US has primarily focused on grains and broad-acre agriculture, there are great opportunities for specialty growers to participate and excel in carbon farming.  

Working with our partners Carbon Friendly, we’ve confirmed that carbon programs can offer specialty growers a viable means to fund and de-risk their regenerative transitions and to differentiate themselves in their supply chains. That said, a lack of focus and industry attention has left specialty growers with more questions than answers: not all carbon programs are created equal, and not all “carbon farming” practices fit into intensive, specialty production systems.  

Join us for an in-depth discussion on carbon markets, how and why specialty growers should be building healthy soils on their farms, and how they can participate in carbon programs to maximize their ROI and fund their regenerative transitions.
