About Indigo Ag

Indigo is leveraging science and technology to help improve the sustainability and profitability of the agriculture industry.

OUR MISSION

Harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet

Since 2013, we have pursued innovative ways for science and technology to drive sustainability and profitability in agriculture. With our mission, we are focused on four key principles:

Helping farmers enhance their profitability and soil health
Improving the quantity, quality, and traceability of the food available to consumers
Protecting the environment by reducing and removing harmful greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, while incentivizing sustainable land stewardship practices
Creating long-term value for our shareholders

INDIGO'S ROOTS

Founded on the hypothesis that microbes could protect plants from a changing climate

Our company was built on the discovery that the microbes in and around plants have the potential to dramatically improve crop resilience in the face of stresses (including drought, heat, cold, and pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and insects) and to offer a sustainable means of improving crop yields in the face of climate change.

This foundation formed the basis for our mission of harnessing nature to help farmers sustainably feed the planet and the expansion of product offerings over time.

What we do

We have developed an integrated business platform that enables farmers and other ag industry participants to adopt and profit from sustainability opportunities. Our core biological and digital products within this platform – Carbon, biotrinsic®, and Market+™ – integrate across the supply chain to optimize how the world’s essential crops are produced, sourced, and distributed.

Helping farmers earn income from carbon

Our Products

Carbon by Indigo

Carbon by Indigo enables farmers to earn income for adopting sustainable practices that lead to the production of high-quality, registry-issued carbon credits. The credits help corporations achieve their climate action goals by complementing their own emission reduction steps.

This is the largest carbon farming program by acres enrolled worldwide and is the first to produce verified, registry-issued ag carbon credits at scale. The Climate Action Reserve issued ~20,000 carbon credits to Indigo in June 2022 for purchase by our corporate customers.

Harnessing nature through biologicals

Our Products

biotrinsic™ by Indigo®

Our Biological Products, biotrinsic® by Indigo, harness the power of the plant microbiome to protect crops from diseases, pests, and environmental stresses such as soil nutrient deficiency and drought. By leveraging our unique biological discovery capabilities, we can rapidly identify microbes proven to be beneficial to crops. We then develop, formulate, and commercialize these proprietary products, typically delivered in the form of a seed coating, for farmers around the world.

We currently have ~25 products across five major crops and four core stresses. These products enable farmers to maintain or improve yields while reducing the negative environmental impact of conventional crop inputs such as synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides.

Simplifying crop transactions

Our Products

Market+ by Indigo

Market+™ by Indigo is our digital merchandising software application designed to streamline transactions for agribusinesses and farmers, automate manual activity, mitigate risk, and unlock new revenue opportunities. We partner with companies like Landus Cooperative to work with the facilities and farmers in their network.

Market+ also helps companies such as food and apparel makers meet accelerating market demand for sustainable products by securing sustainably grown crops as inputs, while providing a premium to farmers.

VISION & PURPOSE

Planet positive, sustainable agriculture

Agriculture can be one of the most immediate and scalable solutions to climate change. We are pioneering a new movement we call Planet Positive: solutions that go beyond reducing climate harm by actively reversing damage through scalable carbon removal from the atmosphere.

Our vision is to unlock the power of agriculture by creating scalable solutions that are designed to both solve pressing problems for farmers and agribusinesses, and at the same time meet the demand from corporations for sustainability solutions. These solutions complement the existing commodity system to make farmers’ operations both more profitable today and more financially and environmentally sustainable over the long-term.

OUR SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Backed by rigorous science and technology

We have invested significantly over the years in research and development across soil, crop, data, geospatial science, and microbiology. With this approach, we have built deep scientific expertise and scalable technology at the core of our integrated business platform.

OUR CULTURE

A growing community rooted in values

Our core values and shared mission help us GROW as an organization and as people.
