Synopsis

Agreena was funded by visionary farmers and fintech-savvies in 2018 and is focused on unlocking the power of soil carbon removals and natural capital to finance the transition to regenerative agriculture. It is now Europe’s largest soil carbon platform supporting over 1,000 farmers to transition more than two million hectares of farmland in 18 countries.

Agreena is expanding beyond Europe, while also diversifying its services as it pursues the maximum value for farmers using its leading monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) technology. With this extension of services to include supply chain and financial services solutions, Agreena is preparing to onboard a greater diversity of customers and so it decided to develop a KYC programme to ensure it can continue to provide the best customer experience.

Watch this informative session to hear about Agreena’s approach and journey in growing its KYC programme to meet its rapid global growth.
