THE PROBLEM
Sustainability isn't a solo sport
THE PROBLEM
Sustainability isn't a solo sport
- Downstream companies (retailers, food brands) have climate goals but no control over emissions that happen during the production of the products that they sell.
- Upstream companies (fertilizer producers, farmers) have solutions but lack funding.

Shared responsibility = shared results
● Downstream companies co-finance sustainability solutions instead of shifting the burden onto suppliers.
● Insetting ensures that everyone along the value chain benefits from emissions reductions.

Stronger supply chains, lower risks
● Climate risks, regulations, and shifting markets make collaboration essential.
● Insetting ensures long-term security, building trust and financial stability for both suppliers and buyers.

Scope 3 solutions with verified impact
● Insetting delivers transparent, traceable, verified impact.● Certified emissions reductions help companies prove progress toward net-zero.

CASE STUDY
Dutch agricultural cooperative: Scaling low-carbon agriculture
The problem
Reducing emissions in farming isn’t just about sustainability—it needs to make financial sense. Traditional fertilizers release emissions, impacting both the climate and soil health. A leading Dutch agricultural cooperative saw an opportunity to change that.
The solution
By using nitrogen stabilizers and low-carbon fertilizers, the cooperative is cutting emissions while improving yields. With food companies co-financing these practices, farmers can adopt them without financial risk.
The impact
Emissions are reduced with approximately 2tCO₂e per year per hectare. The abatement costs are €30-€100 per tCO₂e. Downstream food processors co-finance the interventions in return for a verified Scope 3 reduction claim. Sustainability now pays off for everyone.
The bigger picture
This shift goes beyond farming. Input providers are investing in smarter fertilizers and low carbon fertilizer production capacity (green ammonia), enabling a more sustainable agri-food industry across the entire supply chain.

BENEFITS
Why this matters to agri-food buyers
- Lower-carbon sourcing at scale – Verified reductions enable credible Scope 3 claims (SBTi/GHG Protocol-aligned).
- Cost-sharing model – Food brands co-finance the transition, reducing financial burden on farmers.
- Future-proof supply chains – A structured model that links sustainability investment to tangible outcomes.
- More than just carbon – Improved soil health, better yields, and regulatory compliance add extra value.
Is insetting right for your business?
We only issue inset units if we are 100% sure the climate impact is real. You can read more on our impact units page.
Shared investment lowers transition costs, enhances efficiency (e.g., better soil health = higher yields), and opens access to green financing & premiums.
Insetting aligns with Scope 3 accounting by delivering verified emissions reductions within your supply chain, following GHG Protocol and SBTi guidelines. The reductions are traceable, auditable, and can be claimed as part of your Scope 3 decarbonization strategy.
