Under the 12-year agreement, Microsoft will purchase 2.85 million soil carbon removal credits from Indigo, ion one of the largest soil carbon deals to date.

This agreement marks the third transaction between Indigo and Microsoft, building on prior purchases of 40,000 tonnes in 2024 and 60,000 tonnes in 2025, enabling regenerative agriculture practices as a major tool for carbon removal.

In addition to removing carbon, improving soil health, increasing crop resiliency and yields, and scaling local investment; regenerative agriculture programmes also offer support to rural communities with meaningful co-benefits including improved water infiltration and water conservation.

“Microsoft’s purchase highlights the transformative power of regenerative agriculture to support watersheds, support farming communities, and advance global net-zero goals,” said Meredith Reisfield, senior director of policy, partnerships and impact at Indigo. “Indigo is a proud catalyst of today’s soil carbon market, with our long-standing history of farmer collaboration and proven impact, already saving 64 billion gallons of water and issuing nearly one million tonnes of CO2e carbon removal credits since 2018.”

This agreement is also one of the first soil carbon deals to feature credits approved under
