Insetting

Insetting creates a sustainable funding mechanism for Climate Change adaptation by using the trading mechanism of the global Carbon Markets.  We enable buyers of agricultural products from the Global South to meet their Carbon Offsetting/Sustainability Investment needs by buying Carbon Credits or Environmental Services generated from projects at the very beginning of their supply chain – the farmers.  These projects – set-up according to the highest standards in the industry – create a variety of benefits for the entire supply chain: 

• The buyers can combine the climate change investments they make in their supply chain with their offsetting needs, thereby reducing costs. 
• The producers benefit from a share of the carbon revenues, and, depending on the project, from benefits such as improved eco-systems, access to electricity, clean drinking water, improved yields, etc. 
• Most importantly, these projects contribute to a more climate change resilient farming system, thereby securing the livelihoods of participating communities.

Our Business Solution:

• We screen your supply chains for existing insetting opportunities
• If none exist, we identify the potential to create an insetting project within your supply chains
• In collaboration with partners we build and manage an insetting portfolio that meets your needs
