Global agriculture faces two major crises: feeding a growing population while reducing carbon emissions. Conventional farming often depletes soils, struggles to meet rising demand, and contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. Solutions that improve crop yield while also sequestering carbon are scarce and difficult to scale.
The solution
Rock Flour Company distributes Greenlandic Glacial Rock Flour to croplands worldwide, offering a triple impact solution. The rock flour improves crop yields by up to 30 percent, sequesters 250 kilograms of CO₂ per ton applied, and creates economic opportunities for Greenland. By scaling the collection and global deployment of this natural mineral, Rock Flour Company turns soil amendment into a net-negative, sustainable approach to agriculture that feeds the world and fights climate change.
