About Us.

Our Mission. 

To help capture one million tons of carbon dioxide annually.

To increase stored carbon. To reduce the reliance on synthetic inputs. To reduce the use of fossil fuels.

We are a team of passionate scientists, land & soil experts, climate helpers and change makers. Our founders came together to improve the health of our planet, and to leave a legacy that their children and grandchildren could be proud of. We recognise the huge value our primary industries contribute to New Zealand. It’s the industry that has been, is today, and will continue to be, the engine of the New Zealand economy.

However our primary producers face a number of challenges. Top of the list is shifting to environmentally sustainable practices – as demanded by regulators, international customers, the wider New Zealand public and increasingly the producers themselves. It’s easy to demand but hard to deliver.
