Agrasta
The first online marketplace that connects food businesses looking to reduce their carbon emissions to farmers of low carbon produce.
About
Almost 50% of food emissions occur within the farm gate but the lack of engaging financial incentives means around 75% farmers aren’t actively reducing their carbon footprint resulting in insufficient low carbon produce for food and beverage businesses to hit imminent net zero targets.
Agrasta’s online marketplace (think eBay) connects food businesses who want to reduce their carbon footprint to farmers looking to capitalise on their low carbon produce. We broker farmer/food business connections and provide a price discovery service using a radically simpler approach than carbon credits: a precise carbon intensity figure to enable decarbonisation without greenwashing.
