Grassroots Carbon [GRC] is creating the #1 grasslands soil carbon storage company. Through our rapidly expanding land steward network, covering over 6 million acres of grasslands in the US, we have built a foundation of scientific rigor, quality, and trust.

Grassroots Carbon is on a mission to convert millions of acres of degraded grazing lands into healthy, thriving grassland ecosystems that sequester massive amounts of carbon.

Grassroots Carbon is a fast-growing start-up, and part of Soilworks Natural Capital, a portfolio of companies disrupting the US food system by making regenerative agriculture a more profitable method for ranchers to manage their livestock and land.
