The momentum behind soil carbon has never been stronger.
Today marks Boomitra’s ninth anniversary: nine years of a farmer-first, technology-driven path to restore ecosystems and remove carbon at scale. What began as an ambitious idea is now a global network spanning millions of acres and thousands of farmers and ranchers across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. And every year at Boomitra is bigger and better. The past twelve months delivered milestones that show not just how far we’ve come, but how quickly soil carbon is scaling.
One of the defining milestones of the year was Boomitra’s selection by the Government of Singapore, through a competitive international tender, to supply carbon credits. Under the agreement, Singapore will contract 625,000 soil carbon credits from Boomitra, with deliveries scheduled 2026–2031 from the Paraguay component of our South America Grassland Project. Procured under Singapore’s International Carbon Credits (ICC) framework, these credits will count toward the country’s Paris Agreement (NDC) targets and be correspondingly adjusted as ITMOs—a clear signal that regenerative agriculture can meet Article 6 integrity requirements.
From the demand side, Restoration Climate and Ethereum Climate Platform (ECP) signed an agreement to purchase 500,000 credits from Boomitra’s Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project. Spanning millions of acres across the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts, the project restores degraded rangelands through regenerative grazing while channeling carbon revenues back to ranchers. For ECP and Restoration Climate, the purchase reflects a commitment to solutions that are scientifically rigorous and socially impactful; for Boomitra, it validates years of work to design producer-centered projects. Over the next two decades, the Northern Mexico project is expected to remove 25+ million tonnes of CO₂.
In the past year, five of Boomitra’s soil carbon projects were registered under Verra’s VM0042 methodology, the leading global standard for soil carbon projects. With these additions, five of the twelve projects registered worldwide are Boomitra projects, placing us among the most widely recognized soil carbon developers globally. Together, these registrations demonstrate both Boomitra’s global reach and the credibility of soil carbon as a high-integrity solution across diverse geographies and production systems.
Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project – Partnering with ranchers to restore northern rangelands through regenerative grazing and improved land management.
East Africa Carbon Farming Project – Supporting smallholders in Kenya to adopt practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage.
South America Grassland Restoration Project – Empowering ranchers across Paraguay and Argentina to restore degraded pasture and biodiversity.
East Africa Grassland Restoration Project – Strengthening resilience for pastoralist communities in some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable drylands.
India Carbon Farming Project – Equipping smallholder farmers with training, tools, and finance to rebuild soil health and resilience.
Another breakthrough: issuance of soil carbon credits under the Social Carbon Standard from Boomitra’s URVARA Project. It is the first project in India verified under Social Carbon’s regenerative land-management methodology. Bringing together 6,000+ smallholder farmers across multiple states, URVARA restores soils, strengthens resilience, and generates high-integrity removals. This issuance demonstrates that smallholder systems can deliver measurable climate impact alongside tangible improvements in farmer livelihoods.
This year, Boomitra expanded into new geographies and new climate solutions strengthening our role as a global leader in regenerative carbon removal.
In Costa Rica, we launched our first project in the country, building on our Latin America portfolio. By working with ranchers to restore grasslands, improve water retention, and unlock new carbon finance opportunities, the project demonstrates how regenerative practices can align with Costa Rica’s long-standing conservation leadership.
We also introduced a new project type: Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS). This approach complements our soil carbon work while diversifying our impact portfolio. By converting invasive woody biomass that would otherwise be wasted or burned, BiCRS helps ranchers solve a persistent challenge while creating a pathway for durable carbon removal.
Boomitra’s Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project was formally integrated into Querétaro’s State Emissions Compensation System (Sistema Estatal de Compensación de Emisiones) receiving registration SEDESU-RPC-070 after approval in the state’s third public call. It is the first Verra-registered soil carbon project recognized under the program.
Alongside the registry inclusion, Boomitra and the state signed an MoU to expand sustainable ranching, strengthen carbon monitoring, support policy development, and build local capacity. The recognized project forms part of Boomitra’s broader Northern Mexico initiative. By linking ranch-level practice change with a state policy framework and access to carbon finance, Querétaro is emerging as a subnational model for aligning agricultural policy with high-integrity, nature-based climate solutions.
Boomitra has entered a strategic collaboration with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA)—the specialized agricultural agency representing 34 Member States—linking national ministries of agriculture with farmer training and digital MRV to translate policy ambition into results on the ground. The partnership connects Boomitra’s remote sensing, AI, and project design across countries including Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Paraguay, and Costa Rica with IICA’s policy mandate and technical cooperation network, which includes the Inter-American Board of Agriculture composed of ministers of agriculture.
Together, Boomitra and IICA will scale regenerative agriculture projects, embed soil carbon into policy frameworks, build capacity for farmers and institutions, and unlock carbon markets that create new income streams for rural communities
In India, Boomitra has partnered with E.I.D. Parry, one of the country’s largest integrated sugar producers, to bring regenerative practices and carbon finance to 150,000+ sugarcane farmers. The collaboration equips growers to adopt reduced tillage, residue management, organic mulching, efficient irrigation, and the productive use of press-mud, improving soil organic carbon, water retention, and long-term farm resilience while creating pathways to earn soil carbon credits. The partnership builds on E.I.D. Parry’s 235-year legacy in Indian agriculture and extends sustainability deep into the sugarcane supply chain.
This year I was humbled to be included in the TIME100 Next list, which celebrates emerging leaders shaping the future of climate action, science, and business. This honor belongs to the entire Boomitra community—our team, partners, and especially the farmers and ranchers who make this work possible. The recognition underscores how far our collective effort has come in just nine years, combining AI innovation with a farmer-first mission to deliver measurable climate impact and new income opportunities worldwide.
As Boomitra marks nine years, one truth stands out: soil is a climate solution delivering results today. From landmark purchases in voluntary and compliance markets to Verra registrations and issuances across continents and growing recognition from governments, multilaterals, and global institutions, the momentum has never been stronger.
As we enter our 10th year, Boomitra will build on this foundation—scaling into new regions, bringing more producers into the carbon economy, and setting the standard for integrity in project design. Every milestone has been made possible by the farmers and ranchers leading change in some of the most climate-vulnerable regions of the Global South. Their leadership delivers immediate impact, creates lasting value for their communities, and unlocks opportunities that ripple far beyond their fields and ranches.
