Mission and Vision

NetZeroAg is a leader in working with smallholder rice farmers across the developing world to help them adopt proven, science-based sustainable farming practices. Our programmes increase farmer incomes, improve soil and water outcomes, and cut methane emissions by up to 50%.

We are building the future of low-carbon agriculture by deploying proprietary technology to develop high-integrity carbon offset projects, scope 3 decarbonisation solutions, and resilient, transparent supply chains in the world’s most critical crop.
