Regenerative Agriculture Increases Your Profitability
Increase forage productivity
By resting and recovering your land, you can increase the quality and quantity of forage available to your cattle.
Increase stocking rate
With more nutrient-dense grass, you can increase your stocking rate long-term.
More biodiversity
A diversity of ecosystems above and below ground support food security and sustained livelihoods.
Better water retention
Carbon in soil increases the available water capacity, requiring less water and increasing resilience to drought.
Reduce input costs
Save on input costs, like fertilizer and pesticides, thanks to increased biodiversity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will I get paid?
It depends. The rancher gets paid based on the total carbon credits they’ve created while under contract with Grassroots Carbon. You can maximize your carbon revenue by managing your land for optimal soil health, such as by implementing regenerative practices. The sales price of the credits are determined on a year-to-year basis. Ranchers receive 80% of the carbon credit sale, while 20% is retained by Grassroots Carbon.
How often will I get paid?
Annually. You’ll get an annual pre-payment based on a conservative estimate of your soil carbon storage for that year. After 5 years, the actual amount of soil carbon storage will be measured. We’ll then be able to sell the difference in carbon credits that were actually stored minus the estimated storage already sold on your behalf.
What upfront costs do I have to pay to start?
Aside from the investments you choose to make to improve your regenerative land management practices, there are no out of pocket costs to get started. While the cost of measurement, application, verification, and certification will be deducted from carbon credit sales revenue, the fact that we share these costs ensures that we will constantly strive to reduce them.
