Honda Expands Commitment to Regenerative Agriculture Through Carbon by Indigo
Honda has joined Carbon by Indigo, a leading soil carbon program supporting U.S. farmers in adopting regenerative agriculture practices that enhance soil health and deliver measurable climate benefits. As part of this initiative, the company is purchasing soil carbon removal credits equivalent to 1,800 metric tons of carbon dioxide.
The investment supports farmers implementing practices such as cover cropping, reduced tillage, diversified rotations, and optimized nitrogen use—all methods shown to improve soil structure, reduce erosion, and increase long-term field productivity. These efforts generate verified carbon credits by storing more carbon in agricultural soils.
Farmers participating in the Carbon by Indigo program receive technical guidance tailored to their crop systems and local field conditions. The program’s credits are verified by Aster Global Environmental Solutions and issued by the Climate Action Reserve.
