Carbon By Indigo provides the leading path for farmers who want to maximize revenue from carbon credit generation. 

• The program shared 75% or more of the carbon credit sale price with growers

• We are committed to supporting many types of farmers and allowing for a wide variety of qualifying crops and practice changes. 

Why Carbon, Why now? 

Carbon markets are projected to be a $43 billion industry. We want growers to take home more than $30 billion of that value. 

Carbon programs started in the early 2000s, and agricultural carbon markets have gained increasing support over time, regardless of which political party is in office. Now, the demand is skyrocketing with more and more companies making pledges to reduce global carbon emissions. 

Join Carbon By Indigo today and unlock the profitability that comes from carbon farming practices. The time to act is now. 

How much can farmers earn? 

Growers receive 75% or more of the credit sale price* and participated in market upside as the price increase. When we win, you win. We also provide a minimum price floor of $15 per credit to give even more peace of mind. 

Prices have been increasing rapidly for Indigo’s high-quality, registry-issued carbon credits, and we expect growers to receive significantly more than this minimum. Based on market projections, you could earn as much as $30 or more per credit with the 2022 carbon crop. By starting now, you can maximize your carbon credit production when prices are even higher. 

How do you generate carbon credits? 

You can generate carbon credits by adopting new regenerative farming practices, intensifying current regenerative practices, or both. Our agronomic experts can help you develop a carbon farming plan tailored to your operation free of charge.
