Mexico’s First Agricultural Carbon Offset Program
We’re working with Allcot to get approval from California’s Climate Action Reserve (CAR) for a new methodology that promotes climate-smart farming practices in Mexico. This program aims to reward farmers for adopting practices like:
- No-till farming
- Cover cropping
- Efficient irrigation
- Renewable energy use
- Using bio-organic inputs
Carbon offsets 101
We provide financing up to $30 million. The financing amount a customer will receive depends on a variety of factors. See how much you’re eligible to receive by starting your application through the contact form.
Offsets can be generated by capturing, repurposing or destroying a greenhouse gas that would have otherwise been emitted into the air. They can also be generated by producing clear, renewable energy and eliminating the use of fossil fuels.
The carbon offset is most frequently purchased by a private sector corporation. Companies use these offsets to achieve their own ESG goals, offer customers carbon neutral products or services or realize other reputational, environmental benefits.
All carbon offsets that go into the voluntary market will be verified by a certified third party.
Carbon offsets can be used to finance the transition to more sustainable agriculture practices. These new practices can increase product quality and yield for farmers. Additional benefits may include a cleaner, more vibrant community for the farmers, safer working environments and increased economic opportunities.
One of ProducePay’s Sustainability Strategy greatest challenges is to contribute to minimizing, mitigating, and being prepared for the impacts of climate change in the agricultural sector. In this sense, we aim to promote the reduction of the carbon footprint throughout the value chain of fresh products and encourage climate-resilient practices among our clients.
