The Problem with Potatoes

We all know potatoes are high-value. But they are also one of the hardest crops to grow sustainably. Here is why:
1

The soil takes a beating

Potatoes need fine, friable seedbeds. Which basically turns soil into sand.

2

Inputs are a non-negotiabe

Cutting back on these inputs isn’t just hard — it puts the entire crop at risk.

3

The elephant in the room: it’s a cash crop

Regen premiums or carbon certificates don’t even come close — yet.

4

Systems that are hard to touch

Potato farming is a well oiled machine. Any “light touch” can disrupt an very optimized system.

5

Systems that are hard to touch

A farm might meet regen goals, but if 20% of the crop is out-of-spec… the farmer pays the price – not the system.

“For several years now, I've heard many promises of rewards for carbon-storing practices, and I've finally found a serious company that has succeeded in creating this missing link between industry and the environment.”

“Our partnership with Soil Capital is expected to deliver an average of 150,000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gas removal and reduction each year. This will not only enable us to make progress towards our global climate target, but also help protect soil health and biodiversity.”
