Meet your ESG targets by influencing your ag supply chain

Looking for measurable ways to reduce your Scope 3 emissions? Our Market+ Source program helps your corporation make meaningful progress toward climate action goals through scaled implementation of sustainable farming practices within your existing supply chain, measuring the impact of verified agricultural practices with scientific rigor, and rewarding the farmers who have implemented them.

How can your corporation benefit from Market+ Source to deliver measurable impact in your own ag supply chain?

Sustainably grown crops

We integrate into your value chain to bring scaled implementation of sustainable farming practices that generate environmental benefits such as:

Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
Water stewardship & conservation
Soil stewardship
Biodiversity enhancement and protection
Market+ Source will help connect your supply chain with farmers who leverage these practices.

Agronomic expertise to drive impact

Goal-driven production contracts

Our diverse team contains leaders in agronomy, data science, microbiology, grain buying, digital innovation, and more. By understanding the source crop itself, we have unlocked how to deliver Scope 3 impact that increases sustainability and profitability for stakeholders across the agricultural ecosystem.

Verified on-farm data & metrics

Using remote-sensing, in-field sensors, digital scouting, and other innovative data verification technologies, we integrate data throughout your agricultural supply chain, bringing transparency from origin to delivery of crops. Our verified data, metrics, and scientific analyses enable you to confidently track progress toward your climate action goals.

A Farmer-focused mentality

Direct to farmer connections

We build new paths to incentivize adoption of regenerative farming practices, helping farmers realize long-term profitability and sustainability, all while enabling you to meet your targets.

How does Market+ Source work?

1: Measure

We capture on-farm sustainability practices and primary data directly from farmers to calculate GHG reductions, carbon intensity, and other metrics for specific crops produced within your company’s value chain.

2: Monitor

Utilizing advanced satellite imagery, field sensors, automated event capture, and farm practice documentation, our MRV technology and program methodology validate practice adoption and ensure that real environmental benefits are achieved, for accurate Scope 3 claims reporting.

3: Mobilize

We work directly with farmers and agribusiness/co-op partners to catalyze change in your specific supply chain, including tracking crop delivery. Farmers earn a premium for their sustainably grown crops delivered into your supply chain.

Exceeding goals
with Anheuser-Busch

High-quality rice has been a core ingredient of Anheuser-Busch beers for more than a century. Our partnership demonstrates how decommoditizing agriculture can meet consumer demands for climate positive products while also enabling growers to increase their profitability.

Indigo Ag’s sustainable rice program has been a true testament of the many successes of a farmer – buyer relationship. Defining clear objectives and working with the talented Indigo team to harness farmers’ potential has been such a rewarding experience in the rice industry. Sustainable production practices and data validation are critical to protecting our license to operate and the exciting piece of it all, is that the farmers can implement strategies to reduce their inputs and footprint, all while earning a premium for their efforts. This is a program that should set the industry standard for growing rice in critical or at-risk areas.

Supporting farmers in adopting regenerative practices with The North Face

As the first apparel brand to partner with Indigo, we are excited about the positive environmental impacts regenerative cotton production can have not only for The North Face products, but for our industry as a whole. Regenerative products have the ability to shift the industry from simply ‘doing less harm’ to actually replenishing or having a positive impact on nature and resources, and as a brand that is committed to protecting the outdoor places we love to play, we believe this is another critical step in addressing climate change impacts in our supply chain.

Farmers are meeting the demands of consumer brands

I've been working with Indigo for three years and it's been exciting. This is the second year I'm working on the sustainable rice marketing program with Anheuser-Busch and Walmart. Indigo has a goal to make sure that the farmer remains profitable, and that's been key for me.
