AMAGGI and NaturAll Carbon join forces in an innovative regenerative agriculture project to generate carbon credits
AMAGGI, the largest Brazilian grain and fiber company and one of the largest agribusiness companies in Brazil, and Naturall Carbon, an Anglo-Brazilian climate-tech pioneer in regenerative and conservation agriculture, announce a strategic and innovative partnership in the carbon credits market. The joint project, which will be certified by Verra, will use theVM 0042, ALM (Agriculture Land Management)methodology , considered the most scientific and thorough for carbon sequestration in agricultural soil.
The initiative represents a milestone for sustainable agriculture in Brazil and for the carbon credit market, consolidating AMAGGI’s efforts for a more sustainable agricultural production in line with its climate goals, and positioning NaturAll as a pioneer in the generation of carbon credits in agricultural projects. The project will be developed on an AMAGGI farm in Rondônia, in an arable area of 25,000 hectares, and, in the future, new company farms may be included, further expanding the positive impact of the initiative.
Regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration in the soil
Soil carbon sequestration projects are gaining global recognition as a scalable solution to mitigate climate change. The Involtor Future Agriculture East-Europe Project, in Romania, was the first project registered and validated under the VM0042 methodology, resulting in the certification of more than 64,000 VCUs (Verified Carbon Units). The AgreenaCarbon Project, a pioneer in registering large agricultural cultivation areas in Europe under this standard, reinforces the importance of these initiatives on the path to a carbon-neutral future. The partnership between NaturAll Carbon and AMAGGI includes Brazil into this select group of innovative projects, establishing a new level for regenerative agriculture in Latin America.

The project starts from a baseline comprised of degraded pastures and conventionally managed crops, which will be transformed through regenerative practices such as the no-till system, crop rotation and the use of cover crops. This approach allows CO₂ to be captured from the atmosphere via photosynthesis and stored in the soil, improving fertility, biodiversity and organic matter, as well as increasing crop productivity.
Carbon credits will be quantified through a rigorous process that combines direct measurement of physical soil samples with advanced computational modeling based on biogeochemical processes. This method, calibrated and validated by experts, allows an accurate estimate of soil carbon removal and storage over time. The project will include continuous monitoring using geoprocessing and remote sensing technologies to monitor the evolution of regenerative practices and ensure the integrity, transparency and traceability of carbon credits.
Environmental impact and sustainability
The carbon credits generated will be of the Removals type and Nature-Based Solutions, bringing a positive impact on the mitigation of climate effects and the maintenance of ecosystems. The partnership with AMAGGI strengthens NaturAll Carbon’s vision of connecting farmers with carbon credit buyers committed to sustainability and good ESG practices.
Particularly for AMAGGI, the partnership reinforces its commitment to sustainability through strategic actions for the decarbonization of agribusiness. The company is the first soybean, corn and cotton producer in Brazil to have short- and long-term emission reduction targets, in addition to FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture), validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for scopes 1, 2 and 3. The company also works actively on certifying regenerative agricultural practices, through Amaggi Regenera, and on adopting innovative solutions, such as the use of pure biodiesel (B100) to replace conventional diesel in its road, river and agricultural machinery fleets, which can reduce CO₂ emissions in this operation by up to 99%, according to the GHG Protocol.
“AMAGGI experiments with these practices on its own farms and advances in monitoring their impacts, working together with renowned research entities to engage partner rural producers in adopting the best solutions found,” says Juliana Lopes, director of ESG, Communication and Compliance at AMAGGI. “The decarbonization of the sector is a collective challenge and, with initiatives such as this partnership with NaturAll Carbon, we are leveraging a more sustainable agribusiness that is committed to the future.”
Pioneering and opportunities for agribusiness The partnership with AMAGGI opens doors for new rural producers interested in participating in the regenerative agriculture project and generating carbon credits in the future. With a consolidated network of grain and cotton suppliers, with the success of the project, AMAGGI will be able to connect partner farmers to NaturAll Carbon, allowing the expansion of the positive impact of the initiative. As the carbon market strengthens, producers who adopt regenerative practices will be able to benefit financially from selling carbon credits on the voluntary market.
“Our goal is to transform regenerative agriculture into a viable and profitable alternative for rural producers in Brazil, connecting them with carbon credit buyers around the world and through our headquarters in London,” says Alexandre Leite, CEO and co-founder of NaturAll Carbon. “With the partnership with AMAGGI, we have definitively opened the doors to the carbon market in Brazil and we can scale this impact, bring sustainable solutions to more farmers and help build an increasingly resilient production chain aligned with global decarbonization targets.”
