Truterra, an agricultural sustainability business, announced that its carbon sequestration program has paid more than $21 million to farmers for sequestration and reduction of over 1.1 million metric tons of carbon in its first three years. The program has also seen significant growth in enrolled acres. In 2023, total acres increased by 99 percent over 2022. In 2022, the total acres enrolled increased by 151 percent over 2021. The company says its carbon program is gaining momentum as a leader among farmers and retailers. “Our differentiated approach matches agronomics with economics to help farmers make sustainable practice changes,” says Truterra President Jamie Leifker. “What’s more, these carbon assets could help organizations with sustainability goals if they make agriculture a part of their toolkit of solutions.” Truterra’s carbon program is also experiencing growth in farmer participation. In 2023, the number of farmers in the program grew by 58 percent compared to 2022.
