![]() ![]() The program enables companies to turn to agriculture as a nature-based means of achieving their climate goals by purchasing verified agricultural carbon credits. To support farmers in transitioning to these practices, the Indigo Carbon program provides a financial incentive to farmers in the form of a third-party-verified carbon credit for soil carbon sequestration and on-farm emissions reductions. These methods, however, entail increased on-farm workload and production costs. Through a set of farming methods, known as regenerative practices – including crop rotation and cover cropping – farmers have the ability to curtail on-farm carbon emissions and pull atmospheric carbon dioxide into their soils. Agriculture, currently a major carbon emitting industry, has the potential to be a nature-based solution to climate change. One potential collaboration includes Sumitomo’s investment in agricultural carbon offsets through Indigo Carbon, a program designed to support farmers in transitioning to practices that reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by maximizing soil carbon sequestration and abating on-farm emissions. ![]() Sumitomo Corporation and Indigo Agriculture (hereinafter, “Indigo”) are pleased to announce that the parties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to explore new business approaches to improve the sustainability of Sumitomo's existing businesses, looking at a wide spectrum of areas centering on agricultural technology and soil carbon storage in Japan and Asia.
