About
   Soil Value Exchange (SVX) is helping reverse climate change by paying ranchers and farmers to restore soil health across America's hundreds of millions of acres of grazing lands. We bring together landowners who store carbon in their soil with a network of buyers willing to purchase that carbon storage. 
 
   Soil Value Exchange was founded as a public benefit limited liability company, which is a legal structure that enables mission-driven companies to use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. We have committed to pursue the following four public benefits:

Why it matters
​​   Over 40% of America’s land – over 650 million acres -  is devoted to grazing animals and growing their feed.  If different grazing methods were used on half of our grasslands, we could store 25% of all US CO2 emissions every year.

   Many ranchers utilize these techniques profitably, but they are not common practice.  We aim to change that by supporting landowners and preserving their rights.  We and designing a system with terms that work for both landowners and carbon buyers.
