Honda Supports U.S. Farmers in Adopting Regenerative Agriculture for Healthier Soil, Air and Water

27 November 2025, Boston: Honda today announced that it has joined Carbon by Indigo, a leading program to help farmers across the U.S. adopt regenerative agriculture practices to improve soil health, capture carbon and increase their profitability. As part of its broader commitment to decarbonization, Honda is purchasing soil carbon removal credits through Carbon by Indigo, resulting in the removal of 1,800 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Carbon by Indigo produces high-quality agricultural soil carbon credits in the U.S., providing farmers with opportunities to increase profitability while building soil health and long-term resilience. Participating farmers learn, adopt and expand regenerative practices tailored to their crop systems and local conditions, such as planting cover crops, reducing tillage, diversifying crop rotations and optimizing nitrogen application. These practices boost soil health, reduce surface water runoff and enhance air quality. As farmers implement and maintain these methods, they generate soil carbon credits by capturing carbon in the soil.

 While water dynamics are highly local and field-specific, the practices in this project on average conserved approximately 69,000 gallons of water for every metric ton of carbon removed. Honda’s investment in the soil carbon project supports farmers across the U.S., including approximately 150 farmers near Honda operations in Alabama, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina, empowering them to adopt regenerative practices on a combined 214,000 acres of farmland. All credits in the Carbon by Indigo program have been independently verified by Aster Global Environmental Solutions and issued by the Climate Action Reserve, a trusted, high-quality carbon credit registry.

 “For over 40 years, Honda has supported farmers near our Ohio operations through conservation programs that protect farmland and help expand access to markets for their crops,” said Mahjabeen Qadir, sustainability strategy lead at Honda Development & Manufacturing of America, LLC. “Now, Honda is building on that history by supporting regenerative agriculture practices that help farmers manage climate challenges and maintain healthy farmland for future generations.”

 “Indigo proudly works with companies like Honda to take action on achieving their climate goals while creating impact for the communities in which they operate,” said Dean Banks, CEO of Indigo Ag. “The Carbon by Indigo program builds prosperity from the ground up, with tangible benefits for local communities and their environment: cleaner air and water, more resilient soil and crop production, additional income for farmers and their families, and a legacy of stewardship across generations.”

Honda aims to decarbonize its products and operations and use high-quality offsets only for the remaining greenhouse gas emissions that could not be eliminated. To advance this decarbonization goal, Honda has implemented the following initiatives:

• Zero and low emissions products: Driving the transition to 100% battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles, starting with hybrid-electric models in the U.S.
• Nature-based solutions: Planting over 85,000 trees to capture carbon and further restore biodiversity at Honda’s Ohio operations
• Home energy solutions: Providing home and vehicle energy management technologies to help customers reduce their environmental footprint
• Energy-efficient operations: Reducing energy use and transitioning to low-carbon energy sources across Honda manufacturing facilities
• Hydrogen technology: Expanding hydrogen fuel cell technology to commercial vehicles, stationary power generators, and construction machinery
