Their story
In 2013, Soil Capital is founded as an independent agronomy firm by three farming and finance professionals specialised in Regenerative Agriculture. After 6 years of various experiences as farm managers and operating a large farm group, MySoilCapital is created.
In 2019 Soil Capital launches MySoilCapital, the first platform to accompany farmers in their transition to a more profitable and regenerative agriculture.
In 2021, the first 100+ farmers joined Soil Capital platform to reduce their carbon footprint.
In 2022, Soil Capital pays EUR 1 million to the first 100+ farmers who joined their program.
In 2023, Soil Capital has closed a round of investment and is ready to scale to transition a million hectares by 2025 !

Their vision
Our plan : make Regenerative Agriculture mainstream.
First, we needed to digitize farmers and demonstrate the positive impact of regenerative agriculture that we would reward with the Carbon incentive.
Second, we needed to monetize the value chain and to sell the carbon certificates and design a platform to engage farmers at scale.
Now, we need you to help us to optimise the societal value and onboard additional farmers via public policies, demonstrates the benefit on the biodiversity and value the data we collect.
