Boomitra South America Grassland Project

Our South America Grassland Restoration Project

Covering over 75,000 acres across the iconic Pampas and Chaco ecosystems, Boomitra’s South America project is restoring some of the world’s most important grasslands.

By supporting ranchers in adopting regenerative grazing practices, the project enhances soil carbon sequestration, improves ecosystem resilience, and helps reverse biodiversity loss. Through extensive local partnerships and satellite-powered measurement, Boomitra ensures real, verifiable climate impact while generating new income streams for ranching communities across Argentina and Paraguay.

Tatay Ranch

Across the rugged steppes of Patagonia—which are projected to receive 20% less rainfall by the end of the century and where an expanding ozone hole exposes 30% of Argentina to desertification—the Saenz family has grown sheep on Tatay Ranch for 50 years. Amidst these challenging conditions, Catalina Saenz, the family’s fourth-generation sheep farmer, and her family maintain a flock of 3,000 sheep that produce high-quality wool.

La Julia Farm

In 1994, driven by his passion for nature and sustainable food, Fernando L. Bianchi established La Julia Farm, located 120 kilometers outside of Buenos Aires. He and his wife, Valerie, began ranching with a small herd of cattle. After initially practicing conventional extensive ranching, Fernando gradually shifted toward regenerative grazing—eliminating synthetic inputs, restoring native grasses, and focusing on soil health as the foundation for long-term resilience.

How big is this project?

For the first monitoring period, the project covers 30,899 hectares (76,350 acres).
We have already onboarded additional ranchers and expect to grow the project to 202,343 hectares over the next three years (approximately 500,000 acres).

What regenerative practices do you use for this project?

Boomitra always promotes regenerative practices tailored to each region and that are culturally and ecologically appropriate. In Argentina and Paraguay, participants have adopted practices like rotational grazing, improved water management, forage management, and integrated crop-livestock systems.

How are soil carbon changes measured and verified?

Boomitra uses a digital MRV system that combines satellite imagery, soil samples, and biogeochemical modeling (RothC) to quantify changes in soil organic carbon. All measurements align with Verra’s VM0042 methodology and are independently verified by third-party auditors.

How is reversal risk managed?

Boomitra addresses reversal risk through conservative credit issuance, use of buffer pools, and continual engagement with land stewards. We also leverage geographic diversity and strategic partnerships. Improved land management also enhances soil resilience, reducing the likelihood of carbon loss from drought or degradation.

What percentage of credit revenue goes to ranchers?

55% of gross carbon revenue is paid directly to farmers and ranchers. Another 20% goes to local implementation partners who are contractually obligated to reinvest in community-based support, ensuring 75% of value stays with local stakeholders.

Farmers and ranchers also benefit from numerous co-benefits.

Is participation voluntary? Are farmers required to purchase specific products?

Participation in all Boomitra projects is voluntary and requires full, informed consent. Growers digitally sign agreements and may withdraw at any point before verification without penalty.

Farmers are not required or incentivized to buy fertilizers, seeds, or tools from any company, including our investors or implementation partners.

How do you ensure long-term participation and impact?

We offer training, field support, digital tools like the Boomitra app and Mitra, our conversational GenAI assistant that communicates with farmers in local languages, and equitable revenue sharing. These create durable incentives for continued climate-smart land management.

Are indigenous or vulnerable communities involved?

Yes. Boomitra works with ejidos in Mexico, women ranchers in Argentina, and women's farming collectives in India. We ensure full participation through Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC), and all agreements are provided in local languages.
