ESMC is a non-profit that compensates farmers and ranchers who improve the environment through their agricultural practices. Our market program, Eco-Harvest, reduces greenhouse gases, improves water quality, and increases other ecosystem services to benefit society.

ESMC’s Eco-Harvest is one of only two agricultural carbon programs to achieve 3rd party SustainCERT validation and verification for project Impact Units.

ESMC’s Eco-Harvest program earned Ag Data Transparent (ADT) certification in December 2023 showcasing our commitment to transparent program operations that protect producer data.

In August 2022, Eco-Harvest became the first agricultural market program in the US to reach program and pilot validation and verification under the SustainCERT Value Change Initiative (VCI). Read why this is important. In June 2023, we announced that Eco-Harvest is the first market program to use SustainCERT’s Innovative Value Chain Decarbonization Platform.
