Terra Carbono and Boomitra Partner to Scale Regenerative Agriculture in Brazil

Partnership to Implement Regenerative Agriculture Practices and Provide Access to Carbon Finance to Farmers and Ranchers Across 1.5 Million Acres in Brazil

SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 29, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Boomitra, a leading soil carbon marketplace and recipient of the 2023 Earthshot Prize, has entered into an exclusive partnership with Terra Carbono, a prominent sustainable land management organization in Brazil. This collaboration will introduce regenerative agriculture practices and provide carbon finance opportunities to farmers and ranchers throughout Brazil.

The partnership, projected to cover 1.5 million acres across Brazil, will expand Boomitra’s project footprint in the country and build upon its existing grassland restoration project that spans across Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

About Terra Carbono

Terra Carbono, a sister organization of Cafe em Pauta, has been at the forefront of sustainable agriculture in Brazil. Their initial focus will be working with producers and ranchers in six states in Brazil (MA, MS, MT, PA, PR, TO), with plans to extend coverage nationwide in the coming year.

“This exclusive partnership will revolutionize sustainable land management practices in Brazil,” remarked Clovis Pontes, Executive Director of Terra Carbono. “As Brazil aims to lead the carbon credits market, initiatives like this play a pivotal role in achieving our environmental objectives.”

About the Partnership: Supporting Ranchers and Producers, Promoting Environmental Stewardship

Boomitra’s partnership with Terra Carbono will introduce sustainable agriculture and grassland management practices with farmers and ranchers across Brazil.

For ranchers, the collaboration will introduce regenerative practices such as integrated-crop-livestock management (ILP), rotational grazing, holistic planned grazing, and improved water management techniques. For farmers, the partnership will promote regenerative agriculture methods such as minimal tillage, cover cropping, and no-till farming. This program, offered at no cost for the farmers and ranchers, aims to enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, sequester carbon, and improve overall land resilience.

Boomitra’s innovative technology ensures precise and cost-effective measurement of carbon sequestration levels, certifying them as trusted carbon removal credits through third-party verification. This process not only acknowledges farmers’ crucial role in climate change mitigation but also rewards them for their efforts, offering additional income streams while bolstering agricultural resilience and global food security.

Boomitra’s technology makes it possible for landowners with plots as small as an acre to participate in the carbon finance market. Furthermore, the majority of revenue from each soil carbon credit is given directly to the farmers and ranchers, allowing them to reinvest in their lands and communities.

Aadith Moorthy, CEO and Founder of Boomitra, expressed excitement about the expansion, stating, “We are thrilled to extend our project footprint in South America. This expansion aligns with our mission to drive climate solutions on a gigaton scale and support farmers and ranchers in the Global South, who are among the most impacted by climate change.”
