Founded in 2013, Soil Capital is a certified B Corp working with farmers to support the transition to more resilient and regenerative agricultural systems. Operating across Europe, the company uses agronomic intelligence to connect businesses with farmers who are rewarded for improving soil health, mitigating climate change and reinforcing food security.

Using SBTi FLAG-compliant methodologies and digital tools, on-farm practices are translated into reliable, field-level data and verified outcomes. By linking this data with clear economic incentives, Soil Capital helps farmers manage risk and strengthen long-term performance, while agri-food value-chain actors, cooperatives, financial institutions and public bodies gain credible insight into agricultural performance and land-use risk.

Improving Traceability in Agriculture supply chains: can Supply Shed help companies overcome this challenge?

Limited traceability and a lack of supplier-specific information present significant challenges for AgFood companies seeking to reduce their Scope 3 emissions. Segregated supply chains, which enable physical traceability, remain the exception rather than the norm, yet they are favored by third-party certifiers such as SBTi. Additionally, dynamic farming systems—despite their substantial environmental benefits—pose difficulties when accounting for the impact of specific crops, even within a single supply chain.

This is where the concept of the Supply Shed comes in: a group of suppliers within a specifically defined market that provides similar goods and services and can be shown to fall within a company’s supply chain. This approach is designed to help corporate adopt a pragmatic strategy to reduce their Scope 3 emissions, enhance traceability, and enable co-investment and co-claiming, all while preparing for the more time-intensive and complex demands of a fully traceable supply chain approach.
