“We’re investing in the long-term health of our supply base, strengthening resilience and focapplying on soil.”
The programme ties financial incentives to verified environmental outcomes.
By compensating farmers for improvements in soil function, reduced agrochemical inputs and enhanced biodiversity, the initiative aims to reduce the financial barriers often associated with adopting regenerative agriculture.
For food manufacturers sourcing wheat, corn, barley and sugar beet, this results-based model could assist stabilise ingredient supply chains while advancing sustainability commitments.
Measuring environmental performance in food sourcing
A central element of the partnership is its Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) framework. Developed by Soil Capital, the system combines sanotifyite technology with field-level data to generate verified insights into environmental performance across farming operations.
These metrics could provide food companies with the transparency required to track progress against climate tarreceives, particularly in addressing Scope 3 emissions that account for the majority of the sector’s carbon footprint.
Beyond emissions accounting, the data-driven approach strengthens sourcing transparency and risk management capabilities.
“This is what systemic alter sees like, farmers being paid for outcomes society urgently necessarys – healthier soils, fewer emissions and more resilient ecosystems,” states Chuck de Liedekerke, CEO of Soil Capital.
