Indigo Ag Offers Carbon Credit Broker Services to Producers

Sometimes called the "Wild West" of free-market enterprise, carbon markets are developing around the world. Simply put, carbon markets offer companies a way to make money by cutting carbon emissions. One company is addressing the challenges of increasing our planet's capacity to produce food but is doing so in a sustainable and responsible manner
Ryan Stockwell, agronomy strategy manager at Indigo Ag, told Radio Oklahoma's own KC Sheperd Carbon by Indigo helps farmers improve their bottom line.
"Indigo has developed a carbon market to help growers participate in this new income-generating opportunity," Stockwell said. "We bring together the buyers and then we help the growers generate those carbon credits, walking them through that process and helping them implement the practices that qualify for generating carbon credits."
That is not all Indigo does. According to Stockwell, once growers are ready to "sell" their carbon credits, Indigo staff members handle the logistics of selling those credits on behalf of the grower for top dollar.
Buyers of carbon credits come in many forms, from breweries and banks to coffee roasters and well-known clothing brands.
"Buyers are interested in buying credit that results in a net increase in carbon sequestration," Stockwell said. "What that means is growers who want to participate need to add something new to what they are already doing to generate carbon credits."
For a grower looking to increase their carbon credit, Stockwell said it can be as simple as reducing soil tillage or adding cover crops. The options are countless.
