Climate Refarm makes it easy to adopt climate-friendly menus.

Climate Refarm helps schools, hospitals, company cafeterias, and other food providers move towards sustainable, plant-based menus, all while compensating them for their efforts.

Our carbon crediting methodology allows us to quantify the avoided emissions achieved through sustainable food procurement. By tapping into the rapidly growing voluntary carbon market, we are able to pay institutions for these environmental benefits.

In addition, we work with a network of plant-based chefs, menu specialists, and nutritionists to help design new menus and source ingredients at no charge to your organization.

How IT WORKS

Step 1

We collect historical food procurement data to establish a baseline scenario.

Step 2

Our team and culinary partner organizations work with you to develop new menu ideas.

Step 3

Using our crediting methodology, we calculate avoided emissions and facilitate the verification process with a 3rd party carbon registry.

Step 4

We find a buyer for your carbon credits and send you the carbon revenue.
