We’re often asked how agriculture, which, along with forestry and other land use (AFOLU), accounts for 22% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, can contribute to climate action.

Grow Indigo has conceptualized the concept of farming carbon as a crop for small holder farmers in India. When implemented on 120 million acres of cropland in India, a 1% increase in soil carbon would remove 7+ gigaton carbon dioxide equivalent from the atmosphere,” the company said.
Agritech startup Grow Indigo has raised over $6 million in the recent funding round with a cumulative capital raise thus far of over $13 million, the company informed through a media release.
SOC refers to “The carbon stored in the soil in the form of organic matter, such as decomposed plant and animal materials”. Implementing SOC-focused strategies can have multiple benefits, including enhancing soil health, improving water retention, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and increasing the amount of carbon storage in the soil thus, increasing the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change impacts. Necessitating a shift to regenerative agricultural practices that improve SOC is the most critical pathway to rejuvenating the soil.
Grow Indigo and Dvara E-Registry (DER) have partnered to promote climate-smart agricultural practices and create income opportunities for farmers.

Agriculture in India is responsible for around 17% of the country’s gross domestic product and employs approximately 60% of the population. It not only enables people to earn a living but also enables us to feed ourselves and has the potential to reduce the negative consequences of climate change. Lands used for agriculture can absorb and store significant quantities of carbon, which may be one answer to the problem of climate change on a worldwide scale.
