What is Andes Carbon Program?
Andes Carbon Program has been running for 3 years, covering more than 75,000 acres in the US Midwest. Farmers enrolled in the program benefit from an extra revenue stream of $10 per enrolled treated acre, simply by applying Andes’ microbial inoculant – without changing their farming practices and with no investment required. The program offers a one-year agreement with the option to re-enroll at the end of each season.
Andes Carbon Program is complementary with regenerative agriculture practices, thus farmers can enroll in both programs simultaneously. This is because Andes’ beneficial microbe contributes to the generation of soil inorganic carbon (SIC), whereas regenerative agriculture builds up soil organic carbon (SOC).
How it works:
Farmers enrolled in Andes Carbon Program receive Andes’ microbial inoculant free of charge. Farmers are responsible for applying the microbial inoculant on their enrolled acres (in-furrow or as a seed treatment). The Andes team manages all soil sample collection and analysis required for the Carbon Program. Farmers receive guaranteed payment at the end of the season regardless of the amount of carbon captured.

WHAT GROWERS SAY ABOUT ThE PROGRAM:
“After working with Andes for the last 4 years, it has been no surprise to me that the program continues to grow. Their commitment to the grower’s success is highlighted by the fact that the product is easy to use with no known negative yield. Every neighbor that I have shared the Andes Carbon Program with is happy with the guaranteed payments and has continued working with Andes for multiple years.”
