    Harnessing nature to produce a more sustainable crispbread

    We partnered with Wasa, the world's largest producer of crispbread to cultivate a more sustainable rye crop. By working together with German and Swedish growers in their supply chain, we'll help Wasa further reduce its field to shelf emissions through the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices. In Sweden, Svensk Kolinlagring  will join the partnership.  

    The partnership is part of our Indigo Carbon Pilot program in which we will support 20 growers in Germany and Sweden in transitioning to regenerative agriculture practices through a combination of workshops, 1:1 visits in the field and Indigo's system of digital solutions. 

    The early learnings that we capture from this pilot such as the unique challenges European growers face in transitioning, will be used to inform the scale up of a formal launch of Indigo Carbon - a program that pays growers for sequestering carbon in their soils through regenerative practices- in Germany and across Europe. 

    Sharing a vision for more sustainably grown rye

    High-quality rye has been a core ingredient of Wasa Crispbread for more than a century. Our partnership demonstrates how adopting beneficial agriculture practices can meet the need for carbon sequestration and lower emissions while also enabling growers to increase their profitability.

    Wasa was born more than 100 years ago in the north of Sweden. All these years we've been surrounded by the beautiful raw nature of Sweden, with its transparent water and its thick forests, so nature is an integral part of what we are. We started compensating for our emissions but we want to do more. Through this pilot we hope to understand how we can further lower our emissions and even sequester carbon back into the soil.

    Lowering carbon emissions through beneficial agriculture

    In 2019, we launched Carbon by Indigo in the U.S. , a program that promotes beneficial agriculture practices and helps to reduce overall farm emissions while sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 

    Our Carbon Project is the first step in bringing the program to Europe. Together with Wasa, we will transition approximately 400 hectares of farmland to regenerative agriculture and start to measure the change in soil organic carbon.

    We strongly believe in the potential of regenerative agriculture practices to improve the health of famers’ soil, the planet, and their bottom line. Our approach is backed by technology, driven by innovation and supports sustainability across the supply chain. It is also underpinned by new and rigorous methodologies for greenhouse gas accounting recently approved by Verra and Climate Action Reserve. This is generating confidence amongst global companies who have already committed to purchase agricultural carbon credits through Indigo which will directly support growers leading the transition to a farming system that is more beneficial for people and the planet.

    The power of the carbon cycle

    Plants everywhere undergo photosynthesis, absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. Plants mainly convert this carbon into leaves, stems, and roots, as well as transferring some of it to the soil as simple sugars. Carbon adds new life to the soil. And like most natural processes, it’s a cycle: the more fertile the soil, the more life it can support, and more carbon is added. Some farming practices encourage carbon capture, while others result in its loss. We’re incentivizing farmers to adopt methods (regenerative practices) that keep the carbon embedded in the soil, rather than releasing it back into the atmosphere.
