Indigo Ag transforms on-farm regenerative agricultural practices into durable new revenue streams for farmers and agribusinesses, creating a more resilient world with thriving farmers and more sustainable and environmentally prosperous companies. Since 2013, Indigo’s mission has revolved around on three key principles:

• Helping farmers enhance their profitability and soil health
• Improving the quantity, quality, and traceability of the food available to consumers
• Protecting the environment by reducing and removing harmful greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by storing it into agricultural soils, while incentivizing sustainable land stewardship practices from large corporations

Our people build partnerships, explore the science, and engineer the technology to help grow the future of sustainable agriculture. The only way to achieve it is through a unique combination of expertise – from Fortune 500 to academia, soil science and agriculture, to tech start-ups.
