While summer cropping prospects across much of rural Australia remain on tenderhooks without significant rain, Indigo Ag is helping ensure growers can hit the ground running once the season does turn.

Encouraging meaningful change from the ground up, Indigo Ag has recently developed an initiative to deploy the most immediate, affordable and scalable opportunity to address climate change: agricultural soils. Currently available in the US, farmers are provided with the financial incentive to practice soil management and farming practices that sequester carbon.

Traditionally the scapegoat for changing global weather patterns, the agricultural industry is now poised as the perfect platform to help mitigate and address climate change.

With latest ag-tech innovations ensuring produce traceability right down to the field, “paddock to plate” is much more than just a buzzword.

Committed to developing a strong and sustainable agricultural future, Indigo Agriculture has partnered with key industry players to break new ground in the production of food and fiber. In the U.S., for example, Indigo recently announced a partnership with the country’s leading brewer, Anheuser-Busch, in which 2.2 million bushels of sustainably produced rice will be delivered for beer production. Within this supply agreement, rice will be produced with a 10% reduction in water and nitrogen fertiliser, while emitting 10% less greenhouse gases when compared to industry benchmarks.

At the former Hood dairy plant, scientists working for Indigo Agriculture are trying to coax bacteria and fungi to produce supercharged versions of everyday plants. If they succeed, farmers could begin harvesting crops that require less water and fewer pesticides, all without having to mess with a plant’s DNA. There’s a lot of money betting they can pull it off.
