FARMER PROGRAM DETAILS

Agriculture producers take on all the financial risk when implementing new practices that benefit the ecosystem, public health and increase climate resilience. We want to change that. Regen Future Capital wants to support farmers and ranchers in making this transition with less risk by providing grants and carbon payments to de-risk and incentivize the adoption or soil health practices. 

How it works:

1.   The Regen Funding will provide qualified farmers with upfront grant capital of $150-300/acre for the implementation of regenerative farming practices such as; agroforestry, cover cropping, conservation tillage, annual to perennial conversations, holistic animal integration, etc.

2.   In exchange for upfront transition capital, the farmer provides carbon credit monetization privileges for those practices over a 20 year partnership. RFC will provide all the soil testing, carbon registration.

3.   Over a long-term partnership farmers and investors share in the profits of the carbon credits with the farmer earning a majority of the value from years 10-20. This is on a sliding payback scale depending on real time carbon sequestration and carbon market value.

4.   Regen takes on the risk of the carbon market being successful as a means for payback of the initial grant fund through carbon credit payments.

5.   Payments for carbon are variable based on current market price of carbon. Ie. If market values of carbon are at >$15/ton everyone gets paid more.
