ReSoil Funding Round Marks New Phase for Agroecological Transition
A Mission to Equip Farmers for Change
ReSoil, a mission-driven company supporting French farmers in agroecological transition, has announced a €4 million funding round. The investment comes from Banque des Territoires, InvESS Île-de-France Amorçage (initiated by the Île-de-France Region), and Generali Investissement à Impact—two funds managed by INCO Ventures.
Founded in 2022, ReSoil aims to provide farmers with the resources needed to evolve their practices, reduce environmental impacts, and better capture the value of environmental services generated on their farms.
ReSoil Strengthens Tools for Measurement, Support, and Financing
Building a More Resilient Agricultural Model
ReSoil combines carbon and biodiversity impact measurement with technological innovation and tailored support for farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, and food manufacturers. The company highlights that its objective is to build a more resilient agricultural system, particularly in the face of climate variability.
A central component of this strategy is the ReSoil Carbon tool, which will be enhanced using the new funding to better align with the needs of agricultural operations. The company plans to guarantee additional income for farmers based on environmental performance improvements.
Mechanisms for Fair Remuneration of Environmental Services
ReSoil is expanding its remuneration pathways for farmers, including:
- Agroecological premiums within value chains, based on certified ISO 14067 emission factors aligned with GHG Protocol and SBTi FLAG requirements.
- Label Bas-Carbone certified credits sold on the voluntary market to companies invested in local soil carbon sequestration and biodiversity preservation.
To support this expansion, the company will grow its team of agronomy engineers and carbon contribution specialists.
“Our goal is to give financial visibility to farmers by guaranteeing upfront income, which is what they critically lack to evolve their practices,” explained Grégoire Alston, co-founder of ReSoil. “We will also give agricultural sectors the tools to measure decarbonization using transparent methodologies and allow French companies to act locally for soil carbon capture.”
Scaling ReSoil’s Digital Platform and Field Operations
Over 100,000 Hectares Already Monitored
Since launching in 2022, ReSoil has rapidly expanded its footprint. Today, it supports more than 100,000 hectares through ReSoil Carbon—40,000 hectares already engaged and 60,000 in development with cooperative partners.
The digital platform is designed to simplify decarbonization project management by enabling:
- Measurement of GHG emissions and soil carbon storage,
- Real-time monitoring of progress based on practices and pedoclimatic conditions,
- Optimization of farming practices to reduce emissions,
- Valorization through certified carbon credits and agroecological premiums.
Cumulatively, ReSoil projects are projected to reduce or store more than 300,000 tonnes of CO₂. Since 2024, more than 80 corporate clients have financed agricultural projects through ReSoil, contributing over €3 million.
