Sumo Citrus exemplifies how consumer-driven demand for sustainable and high-quality products can be successfully met through thoughtful and innovative agricultural practices. At Agriculture Capital, this case study reinforces our commitment to investments that not only yield financial returns but also contribute positively to the planet and its people.
Since 2014, Agriculture Capital has pioneered the integration of regenerative agriculture into our investment strategies, enhancing these fundamental aspects. By invigorating natural systems, regenerative practices add natural capital of the land, to not only mitigate risks and enhance returns, but also pave the way for a sustainable and resilient future.
AC’s team, with Ben’s carbon expertise, is poised to help corporations meet their net-zero goals by integrating carbon removals and emission reductions generated by AC’s agriculture platform including our support to an expanding base of grower-partners.
We are passionate about regenerative agriculture’s ability to not only to generate high-quality carbon credits, but also to provide a range of upsides and co-benefits. By investing in restorative farming practices, we're catalyzing a systems-level transformation that goes beyond carbon sequestration.
To provide the highest-level of assurance of the carbon credit value chain, we have continued to improve measurement and reporting to make the process less cumbersome and expensive but of increasingly high quality and integrity.
By addressing the challenges of impermanence and leakage, we can ensure that agricultural carbon sequestration contributes to long-term climate change mitigation efforts while also providing economic and environmental benefits to farmers and society as a whole.
Leakage, a critical consideration in the evaluation of carbon credit projects, involves the unintentional shift of emissions-intensive activities due to market or policy changes. This phenomenon can undermine global carbon reduction efforts and impact the integrity of carbon credits.
AC is focused on speeding the transition from conventional to regenerative farming with a focus on high quality carbon credits. To do that, we are addressing six key carbon credit quality indicators - additionality, permanence, leakage, accurate quantification, co-benefits of regenerative agriculture, and exclusivity.
Welcome to AC Mindset’s Carbon Investing Primer, where we seek to educate about the principles behind carbon markets. To start, we’re defining the types of credits that can drive the transition to a low-carbon, resilient future while potentially earning attractive returns.
The world’s soils are a crucial carbon sink. Not only is this a hopeful solution, but it is likely the most financially efficient solution currently available for sequestering atmospheric carbon at scale.
