Indigo Ag announced the sale of 19,000 carbon credits generated by the practices of 175 farmers who have been working with Indigo to sequester carbon in their operations. Indigo now has more than 2,000 farmers participating in its carbon program, involving more than 5 million acres. Those farmers will be eligible for the next rounds of sales that Indigo announces going forward.

Global cropland has the potential to sequester as much as 570 million metric tons of carbon per year. New projects that pay farmers to adopt climate-friendly practices could help.
