regenagri carbon insetting program helps growers monetize environmental efforts

regenagri has launched the world’s first global carbon insetting program, specifically for agri-commodities supply chains.

Providing farmers and growers with a route to monetize the positive environmental impacts achieved through regenagri certification, this step will aim to benefit farm businesses financially and improve supply chain sustainability, explains Franco Costantini, regenagri CEO.

“We’re pleased to announce an initial group of ten producer organizations across the USA, Ivory Coast, Turkey, Brazil, Pakistan, and India have joined our carbon insetting program, turning their regenerative practices across 871,827 acres into an opportunity for additional financial returns,” he says.

This group includes different types of regenagri-certified organizations, from individual farms to smallholder collectives and farm cooperatives, growing a diverse range of crops, including cotton, coffee, nuts, soybeans, sugar, and cereals.

“As part of the regenagri annual certification process, farms undergo annual third-party audits to validate their GHG and carbon reduction data, according to approved methodologies and protocols including the GHG Protocol and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) principles,” Costantini says.

By the end of 2025, the regenagri insetting program is expected to expand to reach 1.5 million acres of farmland and generate more than 600,000 carbon insetting units.

Todd Straley, of Quarterway Cotton Growers in Texas, says he is excited to partner with regenagri’s insetting program.

“We believe innovation and collaboration are key to progress in agriculture. With this partnership, our farms can help solve the world’s carbon issues,” he says.

All farms and supply chains with a current regenagri certification are eligible to access the insetting program.
