Understanding what you’re up against is the first step to protecting yield. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the biggest threats to plant health and yield potential, but its impact can be hard to see without the right tools. 🔎 That’s why tools like the SCN Profit Checker from the The SCN Coalition are so valuable. By turning field data into real yield and dollar impacts, it helps farmers and advisors make more informed, field-specific management decisions. Take a look at how you can better quantify risk and tailor your #SCN strategy⬇️ 🛡️Seal the hatch with biotrinsic Nemora FP: https://lnkd.in/gRaHA4NF
It’s hard to protect farmers’ yields from SCN if you don’t know how many opponents you’re up against. Tailor your #SCN management recommendations to your farmers’ needs with the SCN Profit Checker calculator: https://bit.ly/4bKuJeq

Indigo's A.J. (Ashok) Kumar chatted with AgFunder about the current state of the voluntary carbon market. For us at Indigo, the ultimate value of our CCP-labeled, high-quality credits is the trust it builds with farmers. It ensures that the environmental benefits they create are real, guaranteeing they can access a new revenue stream their efforts. But supporting farmers in the regenerative transition in 2026 requires more than just carbon credits. That’s why we’ve built a suite of solutions—including Source, our sustainable crop Scope 3 programs, biofuels programs, and water replenishment programs—that addresses the full complexity of the climate challenge. The race to the bottom on price is over. The race to demonstrate high quality has begun. If you’re looking for measurable solutions that support both farmers and your business, Indigo's science-backed solutions are right for you. Reach out to us to learn more.
Carbon markets are at a crossroads, caught between 'medieval indulgences' and rigorous, science-backed maturity. As players like Microsoft shift strategies, the industry's future depends on moving from simple offsets to high-integrity insetting and verifiable supply chain resilience, writes Jennifer Marston...

Earth Day is a reminder of something we’re fortunate to witness every day: the beauty, resilience, and quiet power of the natural world. 🌎 From sweeping landscapes to the living ecosystems beneath our feet, this planet sustains us in ways both seen and unseen. Beneath it all, soil forms the foundation of life, supporting every field, every crop, and every ecosystem. At the heart of it are farmers, the stewards of this land, working in partnership with nature to nourish both people and planet. At Indigo, we believe caring for the earth starts with how we grow. By supporting farmers and advancing regenerative agriculture, we can help protect and enrich the soil, preserve these landscapes, and sustain their vitality for generations to come. Because this planet isn’t just where we work. It’s what we’re working for. 🌱 #EarthDay #IndigoAg #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableAg #MotherEarthDay

Traceability is becoming one of the most consequential and often misunderstood elements of the GHG Protocol’s new Land Sector and Removals Standard (LSRS). In her latest article, Indigo's Alice Chang breaks down what’s changed, why it matters, and how companies can build credible, scalable supply chain programs. The standards will evolve, but action cannot wait. Now is the time to understand what is possible and move forward. 📗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/g3Mdqbgk 🌱#Sustainability #ClimateAction #GHGProtocol #Traceability #LSRS
Traceability has quickly become one of the most consequential and least understood parts of the GHG Protocol’s new Land Sector and Removals Standard. Traceability rules shape what companies can include in a GHGP-aligned inventory, how supply chain programs need to be designed, and how upstream investments can translate into credible reported progress. In my latest piece, I dig into where the LSRS landed on traceability, why the recognition of certain mass balance approaches matters, and what questions still remain as further guidance develops. At Indigo, we spend a lot of time helping companies navigate exactly these questions, working with farmers and supply chain partners to build programs that align with the principles of physical connectivity while still being practical in real-world agricultural systems. No company has all the answers yet, and the standards will continue to evolve. But that is not a reason to wait. Now is the time to understand what is already possible and start mapping practical paths forward that balance physical connectivity with the realities of scale. We cannot let policy complexity stand in the way of climate action.
