Alongside 13 other growth-stage companies, Agricarbon has been selected to join the Unreasonable Impact UK & Europe 2024 programme, the world’s first global network focused on scaling up entrepreneurial solutions that will help employ thousands worldwide in the emerging green economy.
The Unreasonable Group is renowned for fostering growth-stage companies that pursue profitability whilst tackling the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Agricarbon’s membership underscores the group’s commitment to nurturing ventures poised to make significant environmental impacts. As a member, Agricarbon gains invaluable access to a network of seasoned entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors committed to facilitating substantial global change.
Agricarbon is a company focused on accurate soil carbon measurement. This is achieved by collecting soil samples from agricultural and natural landscapes and measuring their carbon content to verify carbon removals.
Accurate data forms the foundation of a trusted carbon marketplace, supporting project developers, farmers, and businesses in sectors like agriculture, food, and finance, including Scope 3 decarbonisation and nature-based solutions.
Our service is operational across Europe and is deploying its recent Series A toward further expansion in North America (first client projects already underway). Agricarbon has already recorded more than 4 million tonnes of organic carbon in clients’ soils today (equivalent to >14.5 million tonnes of CO2), with a carbon removal potential of over 3,500,000 tonnes of CO2 by 2030.
Agricarbon CEO Annie Leeson has become a member of the Unreasonable Fellowship. Annie is a biochemist turned marketeer turned strategy consultant with 17 years of developing innovation and decarbonisation strategies for global corporates and cities. Annie is also trained in corporate coaching, leadership, culture, workforce engagement and productivity, and co-founded the global data business, Leesman Index, in 2010, which exited in 2022.
She co-founded Agricarbon in 2020 and recently completed a Series A fundraise to accelerate international expansion and develop a data-led commercial platform for soil health monitoring, a journey greatly enriched by the vast network of talented, generous and galvanised peers in this industry.
