Unlocking Regenerative Agriculture: Soil Capital Secures $15M in Series B Funding for Sustainable Farming Transformation

Soil Capital, a mission-driven innovator at the forefront of regenerative agriculture, has announced a successful funding round that raised $15 million. Founded on the belief that farmers play a crucial role in mitigating the ecological crisis, Soil Capital is dedicated to ensuring that these stewards of the land are both rewarded and compensated fairly for their sustainable practices. With an ambitious goal of transitioning 1 million hectares of farmland to regenerative agriculture by 2025, this latest funding will enhance Soil Capital's capacity to support farmers in their efforts to adopt practices that not only combat climate change but also bolster farm profitability. Founded in response to the urgent need for eco-conscious agricultural solutions, Soil Capital made headlines in 2019 by launching Europe’s first certified carbon payment programme. This groundbreaking initiative has since garnered participation from over 1,600 farmers across France, Belgium, and the UK, validating a model that recognizes reduced carbon emissions and increased soil carbon storage on the voluntary carbon markets. The new funds will allow Soil Capital to expand its carbon certification programme, thus furthering their mission to create regenerative and resilient food supply chains that connect farmers with fiber and food companies dedicated to rebalancing our agricultural system. Moreover, it provides a vital resource for corporations eager to contribute to sustainable farming efforts as part of their global net-zero goals. With this generous funding, Soil Capital continues to pave the way for a healthier planet while empowering farmers to thrive.
