We are committed to financing solutions for farmland that are rooted in nature, focusing on climate and communities in developed markets such as Australia, Europe, and the United States. Despite nature offering over a third of the necessary solutions to restrict global warming to 1.5 C, it is alarmingly underfunded, receiving only 2% of global climate finance.
The voluntary carbon market offers a distinctive opportunity to direct private capital towards nature-based farmland solutions. These solutions not only yield substantial carbon benefits but also bolster climate adaptation, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of local and indigenous communities.
In parallel, corporations are seeking carbon projects of high quality and integrity to fulfill their ambitious climate commitments. Nature-based farmland solutions can play a pivotal role in curbing carbon emissions and preserving our planet's health.
Our mission at Agriculture Capital is to amplify investment in nature-based farmland solutions in developed markets and curtail emissions in the agriculture/food supply chain. We offer upfront financing for nature-based farmland carbon projects to cater to the needs of global buyers. Simultaneously, we ensure fair outcomes for local communities and boost biodiversity.
