About Agricarbon

Agricarbon is a soil carbon measurement company that provides direct, audit-ready measurement of soil organic carbon stocks for farmers, landowners, carbon project developers, food and beverage companies, and public-sector bodies. Its service is designed to support regenerative agriculture, carbon accounting, and carbon credit verification by turning below-ground soil carbon into reliable data that can be used in decision-making and climate reporting.

The company positions itself as a specialist in high-integrity measurement, emphasizing scientific rigor, statistical robustness, and cost-effective scalability. Agricarbon operates across the UK, Europe, and North America, with dedicated UK and US labs and field operations that support projects ranging from farm-level baselining to large multi-country programmes.

Core Values

• Scientific integrity: Agricarbon repeatedly stresses direct measurement, accepted scientific protocols, and protocol alignment so that results are credible for carbon markets and carbon accounting.
• Accuracy and consistency: The company focuses on reducing variability through standardized sampling, automation, and bulk density measurement for every sample.
• Scalability: Agricarbon aims to make high-quality soil carbon measurement affordable enough to deploy across thousands of hectares and large international programmes.
• Transparency and trust: Its reporting, audit trails, and protocol-compliant methods are positioned to give confidence to farmers, carbon buyers, investors, and regulators.
• Support for regenerative farming: The company frames soil carbon measurement as a way to unlock finance and evidence for the transition to regenerative agriculture and healthier soils.

Unique Aspects

• Direct-measurement specialist: Agricarbon focuses on the measurement part of the carbon project chain rather than creating or selling credits itself, which it presents as a way to preserve independence and trust.
• Industrialized automation: Its Automated Soil Carbon Analysis system and mechanized core extraction are designed to process thousands of samples quickly and consistently, lowering cost while preserving statistical robustness.
• International operating footprint: The company says it operates across the UK, Europe, and North America, and KNOWN NEWS indicates it has worked with clients in 19 countries.
• Major funding support: Agricarbon raised £9 million in Series A funding in 2023 from climate, agri-tech, and financial investors, supporting international expansion.
• Named enterprise partnerships: Publicly cited work includes projects with Nestlé UK & Ireland, First Milk, Regenerate Outcomes, and AFBI in Northern Ireland, showing use across corporate supply chains and public research programmes.
• Protocol alignment: Its methods are described as aligned with major soil carbon MRV frameworks, including Verra VM0042, the FAO-GSOC approach, and the GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals guidance.
