Engineering Earth
One Farm at a time
Empowering Earth,
Our Most Powerful Tool.
Earth is a powerful carbon sequestration engine. Our planet’s rainforests act as its lungs, and its soil acts as its skin.
Engineering these systems to optimize the carbon cycle is the most effective solution we have to create a sustainable future.
Farmland is Four Times Bigger Than The Amazon
Agricultural practices have the potential to help or harm our planet more than the Amazon.
4.25 billion acres on Earth are farmland, that is two times the size of America.
Regenerative farming practices can empower Earth to store more carbon in less time than any manmade technology ever could.
For Regenerative Farming
The Heartland team has identified 3 practical regenerative agriculture practices that will unlock carbon credit markets and revenue opportunities for farmers.
Tracks Not Tires
Soil compaction is a persistent problem with heavy equipment. Plants do not grow well in compressed soil. Farmers who adopt tracks instead of tires reduce the amount of compression on the ground.
Ditch Your Plow
One of the most common ways to reduce soil compression is with a plow, which can dig 36 inches into the ground. By switching to a vertical tiller, you only disrupt 3 inches of soil and preserve more than 80% of the organic matter.
Cover Your Soil
Farmers plant cover crops to keep the soil alive throughout the cold winters. This ensures healthy soils in the spring while reducing chemical runoff into local rivers and drinking water supplies.
Unlocking The Sustainable Future We Need And Deserve
Regenerative agriculture can empower Earth to store more carbon in the soil than any technology.
We work with global brands and their suppliers to understand the opportunity and impact of carbon farming.
