Holganix Unveils HGX Environmental Asset Division
Holganix, a regenerative agriculture company founded in 2010, has announced the launch of HGX, a new division focused on converting regenerative farming outcomes into verified environmental assets. The division is designed to generate new income for farmers, provide companies with credible sustainability tools, and scale soil-based climate solutions.
What HGX Does
HGX partners with farmers on multi-year programs that incorporate Holganix’s Bio 800+ microbial products alongside practice changes. Measurable outcomes — including additional soil carbon sequestration, reduced fertilizer use, and improved water-holding capacity — are tracked and translated into verified environmental assets that companies and individuals can purchase.
Each project undergoes independent assessment and rating by BeZero, a carbon ratings agency, using field soil sampling, satellite data, and advanced modeling to ensure transparency and credibility of environmental claims.
HGX Impact Across Enrolled Acres
Early Results From 3 Million Acres
To date, more than 1,000 farmers have enrolled in the HGX program across 3 million acres. Reported outcomes include:
- Up to 10x carbon accumulation compared to standard regeneration programs
- Up to 40% reduction in fertilizer use
- An average 10% yield increase
- Increased water-holding capacity in line with improvements in organic matter
HGX entered the carbon market in 2025, with its first partners purchasing carbon insets and offsets through the program.
How Holganix Designed HGX for Corporate Sustainability
Carbon Credits and Insets for Companies
Companies with residual emissions can utilize HGX carbon credits and insets within their corporate sustainability frameworks. According to Holganix, this approach creates a direct connection between corporate sustainability spending and measurable impact in rural American farming communities and soil health.
“Partnering with HGX has been a win-win: we gained high-quality, verifiable carbon removals we can trust, while supporting farmers and rural communities where we invest,” said Bill Davis, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Stance Capital.
Holganix Leadership on the HGX Launch
Barrett Ersek, Founder and CEO of Holganix, framed the launch of HGX as a natural extension of the company’s founding mission.
“Holganix was founded with the goal of working side-by-side with growers to restore life to the soil, creating healthier farms and food. We have already set a new standard for a practical, science-backed measurement-based approach to regenerative agriculture. Through the creation of HGX, we’re furthering our goal of supporting farmers by rewarding them for their steadfast dedication to thrivability — restoring life and ensuring crops don’t just survive but thrive. HGX brings this to life, providing them with a steady stream of income while accelerating progress for corporate sustainability commitments,” Ersek said.
