This week, Boomitra, recognized for its pioneering work in soil carbon initiatives and a recipient of the prestigious 2023 Earthshot Prize, struck a groundbreaking agreement with Restoration Climate and the Ethereum Climate Platform, securing 500,000 verified carbon removal credits from its Northern Mexico Grassland Restoration initiative. This project is now set to extend into Costa Rica, aiming to enroll nearly 250,000 acres of ranchland under Boomitra’s innovative, AI-driven, Verra-certified model, with aspirations to reach one million acres across Latin America.

Boomitra Expands Carbon Credit Initiative, Collaborates with Swissx for Soil Health
Boomitra accelerates its climate impact through a significant partnership for carbon credits while Swissx advances sustainable agriculture in the Caribbean.
Notably, Swissx is making strategic moves in the climate sector with its SoilBooster program in Antigua, designed to meet the high standards of global climate finance initiatives. The program includes a modular soil sampling protocol—baseline, mid-cycle, and post-treatment—ensuring accuracy conforms with best practices. Testing occurs at Swissx's state-of-the-art Island Lab in St. John’s Harbor, where sampling quantifies carbon content, nutrient levels, and microbial activity, resulting in market-ready data documentation that creates potential revenue streams for Caribbean producers through verified carbon credits.
The timing and model for such initiatives are fortuitous for numerous reasons. Carbon credits are becoming a fixture in mainstream climate finance, as seen with Boomitra and Indigo Ag generating volume and gaining the trust of institutional buyers through concrete credit sales and robust protocols. Boomitra's integration of AI for remote validation—using satellite imagery and machine learning—also minimizes measurement and verification costs, a strategy Swissx is integrating into its own scalable workflow.
For Caribbean stakeholders, the implications are profound. Farmers can now monetize their commitment to nurturing soil health, with SoilBooster enabling verifiable improvements in microbial activity, water retention, and carbon sequestration. As a result, Antigua is evolving beyond its identity as a mere tourist hotspot, entering the global carbon markets as a credible source of carbon offsets. Moreover, Swissx is committed to connecting climate initiatives with local resilience, fostering healthier land, diverse income sources, and empowerment in accessing international markets.
Having already made strides in media streaming, CBD wellness, and cryptocurrency, Swissx is now at the forefront of a clean technology agriculture shift with SoilBooster, transforming soil into valuable environmental and financial assets, and solidifying its commitment to sustainability in the Caribbean region.
