Carbon Credit Sellers

Truterra engages with farmers to identify markets for previous carbon-sequestering practices—as far back as five years. We also help evaluate and adjust practices to create carbon credits for future sales.

Carbon Credit Buyers

Truterra offers the market’s only farmer-driven, farmer-owned carbon credit offering. If you believe in the power of farm-to-fork, you will appreciate our soil-to-certification approach.

 Scope 3 Emissions Reductions

Truterra is uniquely positioned to help consumer food products and other value chain partners working with agricultural products advance their carbon reduction goals. From initial quantification and goal-setting support, to targeted investments in continuous sustainability improvements, we put our deep knowledge of agriculture and industry-leading agronomic data resources to work for you.

Ecosystem Services

The same technologies helping Truterra farmers develop carbon credits can deliver other ecosystem services credits, as well. See how Truterra is already leading efforts to recognize farmers for their stewardship of water quality and water quantity—and learn how you can get involved.

Who May Qualify:
The best candidates for this industry-leading program are farmers who previously (within the past five years) adopted certain management practices demonstrated to increase soil carbon levels and can enter this information into the Truterra™ Insights Engine.
These management practices may include complete no-till, strip till, reduced till and continuous soil cover (e.g. cover crops, double cropping, use of perennials). Due to the five-year look-back window of this offer, fields on which these practices were adopted more than five years ago would not qualify for this payment.

Time Requirements:

• This offer will be based on historical practices only, with priority going to operations providing data on qualifying practices for up to five years back
• Future offers are anticipated to provide opportunities for farmers who have both recently (within the past two years) adopted these practices, or who are in the process of adopting them now
• Farmers enrolled in TruCarbon™ for 2021 may also qualify for potential future opportunities Data Requirements
• Soil sampling will be required and can be provided at no cost to you
• Three years data prior to practice change required for baseline
• Annual data reporting will be required for a period of 20 years for all fields enrolled in this offer to ensure continuity of carbon removal
• Initial data collection, as well as subsequent annual reporting, must be managed via the Truterra™ Insights Engine
