Platform & Phases

Phase 1 — Biomass Supply Chain

Turning Agricultural Residues into Economic and Climate Value

Purpose
Phase 1 establishes the foundation of the platform by organizing agricultural residues that are typically burned or left unmanaged into a structured, traceable supply chain.

Primary Inputs

• Rice straw

• Sugarcane leaves

• Livestock manure (cattle, buffalo, pigs, poultry)

What This Phase Solves

• Open-field burning and PM2.5 pollution

• Unmonetized agricultural residues

• Fragmented, informal residue collection

Value Created

• Avoided emissions through reduced burning

• New income streams for farmers from residues

• A reliable feedstock base for downstream phases

Phase 1 is intentionally designed as a low-friction entry point.
Farmers can participate without changing crops or farming practices, while climate and air-quality benefits begin immediately.

Phase 2 — Organic Compost Production

Restoring Soil While Reducing Input Dependency

Purpose
Phase 2 converts residues collected in Phase 1 into high-quality organic compost, replacing a portion of synthetic fertilizer use and rebuilding soil health.

Operating Model

• Decentralized, cluster-level compost production

• Compost formulations adapted to local soil conditions and crop types

What This Phase Solves

• Soil organic matter depletion

• Rising fertilizer costs and input volatility

• Long-term soil productivity decline

Value Created

• Reduced dependence on chemical fertilizers

• Improved soil structure and nutrient retention

• Recurring revenue from compost sales

Phase 2 is where the platform transitions from avoided-cost logic to recurring commercial value, while directly linking climate outcomes to farm productivity.

Phase 3 — Organic and Regenerative Agriculture

Building Low-Carbon Food Systems

Purpose
Phase 3 enables farms within the platform to transition toward organic and regenerative production systems, using compost from Phase 2 as a core input.

Crop Categories

• Organic rice

• Organic cassava

• Organic fruits and vegetables

• Organic herbs and specialty crops

What This Phase Solves

• Low farm-gate prices for conventional crops

• Limited market access for sustainable producers

• Weak incentives for long-term soil stewardship

Value Created

• Premium pricing through differentiated markets

• Improved yield stability over time

• Carbon insetting opportunities for food and agri-processing buyers

Phase 3 connects climate impact directly to the food system, allowing low-carbon agriculture to generate market-driven upside, not just cost savings.

Phase 4 — Low-Carbon Livestock

Closing the Nutrient and Carbon Loop

Purpose
Phase 4 integrates low-carbon livestock systems into the platform, closing nutrient loops and reducing emissions intensity.

Approach

• Feed optimization using platform-derived inputs

• Circular manure management linked to compost production

• Emissions reduction per unit of livestock output

What This Phase Solves

• Methane intensity in livestock systems

• Nutrient leakage and inefficient manure handling

• Disconnection between crops and livestock

Value Created

• Reduced livestock-related emissions

• Higher system-wide resource efficiency

• A fully closed-loop agricultural ecosystem

Phase 4 completes the platform by aligning crops, soil, and livestock into a single circular system, reinforcing both economic and climate performance.

How the Phases Work Together

The strength of the platform lies in integration, not sequencing.

• Phase 1 anchors farmer participation

• Phase 2 restores soil and stabilizes input costs

• Phase 3 unlocks market and margin upside

• Phase 4 maximizes system efficiency and carbon performance

Each phase increases the effectiveness and resilience of the others, enabling compound value creation over time.

Designed for Regional Scale and Replication

The platform is designed to scale:

• By cluster, not by individual farm

• By province, not by isolated pilots

• By operating model, not by asset replication

While initially anchored in Thailand’s Northeast and Nakorn Sawan, the same logic can be replicated across comparable agricultural regions in emerging markets.

What This Platform Is — and Is Not

This platform is

• A multi-phase, commercially viable agriculture system

• Designed for measurable climate impact at scale

• Built around farmer economics and long-term soil health

This platform is not

• A single-crop or single-asset project

• An energy-generation or infrastructure investment

• A short-term intervention dependent on subsidies
