About Soil & Climate Initiative

A whole-systems, farm-to-shelf regenerative agriculture program with options for third-party verification.

We empower and incentivize farmers, food companies and their suppliers along the regenerative journey.

We do this by delivering an ecosystem of support services and resources that equips farmers to continuously improve soil health outcomes over the long term.

When they reach an important set of milestones on their journey, farmers and companies have the option for Soil & Climate Health Initiative verification.

We offer multiple ways for Brands, Suppliers, Investors, and Landowners to plan, engage and scale regenerative commitments.

Why SCI?

Let’s Work Together to Build Healthy Soil

Designed with input from over 150 stakeholders—from farmers to global food companies to soil and climate scientists — SCI is practical, accessible and both farmer and business friendly.

SCI exists to:

  • Engage the entire agricultural spectrum, from conventional to organic

  • Measure outcomes, not dictate practices—since every farm is different

  • Establish commitments, targets, and plans for regenerative agriculture transition

  • Verify progress and deepening of commitments over time

  • Support farmers with professional and peer guidance as well as access to funding for transitioning acres

  • Recognize and reward the work already being done
