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.

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is a global nonprofit with a mission to save wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education, and inspiring people to value nature. The world's least degraded tropical forests keep our planet 0.5 degrees C cooler and their conservation save trillions of dollars in climate impacts for the global economy. But current nature finance systems are aimed at restoring heavily degraded, deforested areas or those that are at immediate threat of deforestation. It's time to turn our focus towards conserving the forests that are still in good condition. WCS is developing a new market that incentivizes the conservation of high integrity tropical forests and the benefits they provide.
