Strategic Funding & Partnerships
A multi-layered approach to carbon capture, institutional backing, and global funding opportunities.
Carbon Capture Strategy
MacroAgri employs a vertically integrated carbon removal strategy across three distinct layers.
Layer 1: Soil Organic Carbon
Enriching soil through massive root exudation. Monetizable via soil carbon credits (e.g., Verra VM0042) and subsidies.
Layer 2: Durable Bio-Sequestration
Harvested biomass for Biochar and Bio-Composites. Permanently locks carbon for centuries, targeting the high-value "Carbon Removal" market.
Layer 3: High-Fidelity MRV
AI-integrated sensor networks for continuous, immutable records. Aligns with the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF).
Institutional Pedigree
Rooted in the Harvard Medical School and Wyss Institute ecosystem. Inspired by the Church Lab's synthetic biology paradigms, MacroAgri engineers biology at the ecosystem scale.
