Overview
Grassroots Carbon helps ranchers implement regenerative land-management practices on U.S. grasslands to increase soil carbon. Its offerings are grounded in scientific rigor and trusted to help major companies address carbon reduction goals by purchasing or commissioning grassland carbon removal. The company’s core product is a program that partners with ranchers to adopt regenerative practices, with measurement and verification to quantify soil carbon changes and support corporate buyers in achieving verifiable carbon removal. What sets Grassroots Carbon apart is its specialization in grasslands and soil carbon, its direct work with ranchers, and its proven track record with large customers like Microsoft, Marathon Oil, HEB, Shopify, and Nestlé. The overall goal is to scale regenerative land management across U.S. grasslands to deliver verifiable carbon removal while supporting ranchers economically and sustainably.

What critics are saying
