About us
Boomitra works with farmers and ranchers worldwide to increase soil carbon through improved agricultural practices and generate internationally certified carbon removal credits. We use proprietary AI and satellite technology to monitor, report, and verify (MRV) soil organic carbon to a 30cm+ depth, without physical soil sampling, reducing measurement costs by 99%. The process is cost-efficient, time effective, and scalable across various landholding sizes – enabling Boomitra to work globally: 5M+ acres, 150,000+ farmers, 4 continents, millions of credits sold to date. Boomitra sells the carbon credits to corporations and governments worldwide, enabling them to meet their sustainability goals. Farmers and landowners earn the vast majority of proceeds from each carbon credit sold, allowing them to re-invest in their farms and local communities. Boomitra means “Friend of the Earth” in Sanskrit. That is who we are and hope to inspire others to be. Learn more at boomitra.com

Boomitra is driving sustainable and equitable solutions. Let’s unpack 3 impacts of our work: 📣 Amplifying local solutions Our local implementation partners are deeply embedded in the communities they serve. They ensure that our programs are tailored to fit the specific ecosystem and culture of each region. 📊 Equalizing carbon market access We help marginalized farmers adopt practices that heal rather than degrade their land, ensuring climate resiliency and long-term success. Then, we use remote sensing technology to measure carbon sequestration in lands as small as 0.5 acres, allowing smallholder farmers to participate in global carbon markets. 🔐 Unlocking carbon removal We are working with farmers and ranchers to achieve gigaton-scale carbon drawdown by 2030—all from restoring soils and empowering communities.

The UN estimates that we have less than 100 harvests left, before the world’s soils become too degraded to grow anything. Boomitra is solving this issue, equitably and sustainably. Watch this video from Global Innovation Fund to learn more about our award-winning work. Thanks to investments from groups like GIF, we’re on track to sequester a gigaton of carbon by 2030—and the farmers and ranchers enrolled in our programs have already sequestered 10 million tonnes of carbon!
We recently invested in Boomitra, a leading soil carbon project developer. Boomitra provides opportunities for farmers to earn additional income through #carboncredits, allowing them to improve their livelihoods and implement regenerative agricultural practices.

#FromtheFields! Shilving Chowgla grows sugarcane, cabbage, millets, and more across his family’s 3 acres in Karnataka, India. Through the Boomitra farmer app and with help from our local implementation partner, Subhiksha, Shivling has been able to stop using chemical fertilizers. “Through farming, we were given the opportunity to grow healthy, nutritious food for people everywhere. There is no greater purpose than this,” Shilving said. Learn more about Shivling’s work from our Senior Communications Associate Pooja Sreenan: https://lnkd.in/gWD4-7eb

⛅ Regenerative agriculture reduces a carbon source while increasing a carbon sink: conventional agriculture contributes to climate change, but anything that heals soils helps them store more carbon. 🥕 That’s why Boomitra’s mission is to sequester carbon on the gigaton level, while restoring millions of acres of land and empowering thousands of farmers and ranchers. 🔑 And yet soil carbon isn’t a silver bullet. Barriers to entry prevent growers—especially smallholder farmers—from reaping the benefits of regenerative agriculture. The good news: Boomitra and our partners play a pivotal role in addressing these barriers, unlocking regenerative agriculture at scale.

Boomitra empowers farmers and ranchers to switch from conventional to regenerative practices, increasing carbon drawdown. But defining “regenerative agriculture” in a single sentence isn’t easy—it’s not a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, it’s a dynamic approach to land management, rooted in holistic principles like: 🚜 Minimizing soil disturbance 🥕 Maximizing crop diversity 🍂 Keeping soil covered 🌱 Maintaining living roots year-round 🐂 Integrating livestock Rather than prescribing specific practices, we empower our local implementation partners to tailor solutions to each region’s unique needs. Whether it’s reducing tilling in India or rotational grazing in Argentina, our approach is adaptable and effective. 🔗 Learn more about regenerative agriculture from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC): https://lnkd.in/eCk9V4vC 🔗 Explore Boomitra's regenerative projects across the globe: https://lnkd.in/ggiB4hUm #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #soilcarbon #carbonremoval

"The climate crisis is also an urgent and ongoing health crisis." An article in Nature Climate Change recently explored the human health costs of climate change. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eX7pHdPv At Boomitra, we know that sustainable agriculture is key to addressing these challenges. Regenerative practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage, and rotational grazing mitigate climate change and: • Improve air quality by reducing dust and pollutants • Enhance water retention in soils, reducing the impacts of droughts • Ensure stable food production 🔗 Learn more about the connection between soil health and human health: https://lnkd.in/gwAqyWt2 #soilhealth #publichealth #climatechange #health
