Carbon

Carbon by Indigo produces first-of-its-kind, registry-issued agricultural carbon credits, while supporting farmers in their transition towards more sustainable farming practices

1. FARMERS MAKE PRACTICE CHANGES
   By adding new or intensifying practices, farmers improve their soil health. Agronomists support farmers through the transition.
2. CARBON CREDIT GENERATION
   Soil samples and on-farm data are collected and anonymized, with results securely shared for verification and credit issuance.
3. CORPORATIONS PURCHASE CREDITS
   Indigo facilitates the payout process delivering at least 75% of the average credit price directly to the farmer.

Farming for resilient soil

Adding cover crops, reducing tillage, and rotating crops are just some of the steps farmers can take to bring carbon back into the soil and begin producing credits that add an additional revenue stream. To intensify the benefit to the soil, farmers can implement multiple practices resulting in resilient soil and a more profitable operation.

First of its kind, high quality, registry-issued credits

Companies interested in the highest degree of scientific rigor, ensuring additional and permanent environmental benefit, put their trust in Carbon by Indigo. Innovative protocols, approved by Climate Action Reserve and Verra, incorporate decades of research and scientific advancements that unlock the massive global potential for crop-based carbon offsets.
