Growmark, Bloomington, Ill., and technology provider Indigo Ag, Boston, on Aug. 10 announced a joint effort to spur participation in the growing market for agricultural carbon. Growmark’s network of FS branded retailers will help farmers navigate the soil carbon market and they will use Carbon by Indigo, a third-party verified credit program.
“The opportunity for farmers to benefit from public demand for high-quality carbon credits is tremendous,” said Mark Orr, Growmark Vice President, Agronomy. “We’re proud to work with Indigo to provide our farmer partners with a simple and informed path to generate maximum revenue for their efforts.”
“We are excited to be working with Growmark and FS retailers to help further farmers’ understanding of the fast-growing carbon farming landscape and support the development of the market to adequately reflect the value of farmers’ environmental contributions,” said Chris Harbourt, Indigo Ag Global Head of Carbon.
