How Regenerative Agriculture Unlocks Climate, Nature, and Food System Wins

Send me a message In this episode of Climate Confident, I sat down with Kanika Chandaria, Climate Lead at Agreena, to explore one of the most overlooked yet high-impact climate solutions: soil. We talked about why regenerative agriculture is gaining traction, not just as a nature-based solution, but as a scalable, economically viable climate strategy. Kanika broke down how soil has the potential to sequester 2–5 gigatonnes of CO₂ annually, making it a key lever for companies aiming to meet net zero targets. We also got into the challenges: from the financial barriers facing farmers to the complexity of MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) for soil carbon. Kanika explained how Agreena combines satellite imagery, AI, and selective soil sampling to deliver robust data at scale, data that’s now being used not just for carbon markets, but to inform sustainable loans and supply chain initiatives. We examined the growing role of the private sector in climate action, especially as policy delays continue in the EU and US. And we discussed the importance of interoperability, why regenerative farming solutions need to work across carbon markets, food systems, and financial products. If you’re a business leader thinking seriously about decarbonisation, soil carbon may be the high-impact tool you’ve been missing. 🎧 Listen now and find out why soil is emerging as the next frontier in climate strategy.
