The campaign has 265 million acres identified and 66 million acres in new 2030 commitments, for a total of 331 million acres.\n\nBoomitra works with 150,000 farmers and ranchers on four continents, across Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Paraguay, Argentina, Senegal, Namibia, Botswana, Kenya, India and Mongolia. Farmers adopt practices including cover crops, less tillage and rotational grazing, and Boomitra measures results with satellites, AI and more than one million soil samples. The majority of revenue goes to producers, and it costs nothing to join. Boomitra's work has removed 15 million tons of carbon dioxide to date.\n\n\"Today's 20-million-acre commitment is especially meaningful to me. It represents former grasslands, now nearly deserts, being brought back to life through regenerative grazing,\" said Finian Makepeace, co-founder of Kiss the Ground and producer of \"Groundswell.\"\n\nAfter the screening, Makepeace led a panel discussion and Q&A with Cliserio Gonzalez, director of Latin America at Boomitra; Gerardo Montes de Oca, founder of Hagamos Composta; Gerardo Ruiz, who leads regeneration projects in Cuatro Ciénegas; Raúl de Villafranca, a collaborator with Regenesis Group in Mexico; and Karina Schwartzman, co-founder of [SEED Collective](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00voq1o/seed-collective).\n\n## Boomitra's Carbon Credit Record\n\nBoomitra, founded in 2016 and headquartered in San Mateo, works with farmers and ranchers across Latin America, Africa and Asia, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show Verra approved and Boomitra issued 3.03 million soil carbon credits from its Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration Project in February 2026, across 4 million acres under VM0042. Singapore's government selected Boomitra through a competitive international tender to supply 625,000 soil carbon credits for 2026 to 2031 delivery under its International Carbon Credits framework.\n\n## SEED Global Gathering 2026 Dates\n\nThe evening served as a pre-event for the SEED Global Gathering 2026, taking place October 17 and 18.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
