The platform delivers climate impact through four complementary mechanisms, each linked to a specific phase of the system.
Source of Impact
In Thailand’s Northeast and Nakorn Sawan, agricultural residues such as rice straw and sugarcane leaves are frequently burned, contributing significantly to PM2.5 pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
Platform Intervention
Organized residue collection through Phase 1
Monetization of residues that were previously burned or abandoned
Climate Outcomes
Avoided CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O emissions from open burning
Immediate reduction in PM2.5 and local air pollutants
High-integrity, near-term climate impact
This form of impact is immediate, observable, and policy-relevant, particularly in regions facing acute air-quality challenges.
Source of Impact
Synthetic fertilizer production and overuse are major contributors to agricultural emissions, soil degradation, and input volatility.
Platform Intervention
Replacement of a portion of chemical fertilizers with organic compost (Phase 2)
Soil restoration practices that improve nutrient retention
Climate Outcomes
Reduced Scope 3 emissions associated with fertilizer production
Lower nitrous oxide emissions from soils
Improved long-term soil carbon retention
Input substitution creates structural emissions reductions, not temporary behavior changes.
Source of Impact
Degraded soils across the region have lost significant organic matter over decades of intensive cultivation.
Platform Intervention
Continuous application of organic compost
Transition toward organic and regenerative cropping systems (Phase 3)
Climate Outcomes
Increased soil organic carbon over time
Improved soil structure, water retention, and resilience
Insetting opportunities for food and agri-processing buyers seeking supply-chain decarbonization
Soil carbon improvements are treated as a co-benefit of productive agriculture, not a standalone carbon play.
Source of Impact
Livestock systems contribute methane emissions and often operate separately from crop and soil management.
Platform Intervention
Feed optimization using platform-derived agricultural inputs
Circular manure management linked back to compost production (Phase 4)
Climate Outcomes
Reduced methane intensity per unit of livestock output
Improved nutrient efficiency across the system
Lower lifecycle emissions from integrated crop–livestock systems
This approach prioritizes emissions intensity reduction, aligning climate performance with productivity.
While carbon is a central metric, the platform also delivers critical co-benefits that reinforce long-term impact:
Air Quality: sustained PM2.5 reduction
Soil Health: increased fertility and drought resilience
Water: improved infiltration and reduced runoff
Farmer Livelihoods: higher and more stable incomes
Food Systems: increased supply of low-carbon, traceable food
These co-benefits reduce reversal risk and increase adoption, making climate outcomes more durable.
The platform follows a measurement-first but complexity-aware approach:
Focus on directly observable interventions
Conservative assumptions over aggressive crediting
Traceability built into supply chains rather than imposed retroactively
Alignment with evolving best practices in agricultural MRV
At the orientation stage, the emphasis is on credibility and scalability, not on maximizing headline numbers.
For Agri and Climate VCs, this approach delivers:
Climate impact tied to core operations, not offsets
Reduced dependency on volatile carbon markets
Strong alignment with food, agriculture, and Scope 3 decarbonization strategies
A pathway to credible, long-term impact at regional scale
The platform demonstrates that climate-positive agriculture does not require farmers to choose between productivity and sustainability.
By embedding climate impact directly into how residues are managed, soils are restored, food is produced, and livestock is raised, the system aligns economic incentives with environmental outcomes—a prerequisite for scale in emerging markets.
