Cargill

Through its RegenConnect™ program, Cargill pays farmers per metric ton of carbon sequestered. In addition, Cargill has partnered with other programs such as Soil and Water Outcomes Fund in the US and South Pole in Europe. Cargill is currently the only program that requires farmers be current customers to participate in the program.
