For farmers and farmer organisations

Your residue and your practices earn money.

The straw you would burn. The paddy you keep flooded. The trees on your bund. The soil under your crop. Each one can earn a carbon credit, and what you earn sits on an account you can read.

Three things we hold to

What we promise, in plain words.

  1. Your residue and your practices earn money.

    Residue to the kiln, water managed on paddy, trees on the bund, and later carbon built in the soil. Each of these can earn a credit, and the credit earns you money.

  2. What you earn sits on an account you can read.

    Your own account, per plot, updated when a credit is sold. Anyone with the link can read it: you, your family, your farmer organisation.

  3. We never risk your yield without cover.

    We do not ask you to change a practice that risks your harvest unless the loss is already covered. Until it is, we only ask for what does not cut yield.

Your account

Seventy-five percent of what the credit sells for.

Of the retail price. Not of what is left after costs. Of the price the buyer pays.retail

What each credit asks of you

Every credit type. One enrolment.

You enrol once, with your plot. Each credit type adds a line to the same account as it becomes available where you farm.

Opening
  1. 01
    Biochar

    Your residue goes to a kiln at the nearest mill, ginnery or collection point. The char comes back to your soil. Nothing changes in how you grow.

  2. 02
    Rice methane

    Water on the paddy is managed instead of kept standing all season. Asked only where the harvest is protected first.

  3. 03
    Agroforestry

    Trees on your bunds and field edges. You keep the fruit and the fodder. The credit comes on top.

Later
  1. 04
    Soil carbon

    Carbon built in your soil, measured by sampling on your plot. Later.

  2. 05
    Rock weathering

    Crushed rock spread on your field, which can also help the soil. Measured before it is counted.

  3. 06
    Biogas from residue

    Residue and dung into a digester instead of the open air. A credit for the farm, later.

The base

Natural farming first. The credit on top.

We begin with natural-farming cohorts. The farm profits before carbon, so you do not carry the price risk of the credit. Your income does not depend on the price of carbon.

How to join

We start where residue already gathers.

Our first farms are the ones around a mill, a ginnery, a seed plant or a sugar mill, and the farmer organisations that bring their members to it. If you run one of those, or farm near one, write to us.

  • Farmer organisations and cooperatives — bring your members as one cohort.
  • Natural-farming groups — you are the base we begin with.
  • Individual farmers — leave an email and we will write when a project opens near you.
