Advancing climate-smart agriculture through measurable impact

Invest in the future of the planet and the resiliency of your supply chain

What is the CANZA Marketplace?

While many agri-food companies and other investors have climate and sustainability commitments, they often lack practical mechanisms to support farmers directly in the adoption of climate-smart agriculture practices and deploy capital efficiently at scale.

Operating on a sustainable finance framework, the CANZA Marketplace is working to help address these barriers. Rather than focusing on carbon alone, the Marketplace is being developed to recognize a broader set of measurable outcomes, including improved water quality, and biodiversity benefits.

Built on best-in-class measurement standards and aligned with leading climate and nature standards and guidance, the Marketplace is building national market infrastructure to scale climate-smart agriculture, ultimately connecting capital with measurable environmental change. Informed by the principles of integrity, transparency, and impact, the Marketplace provides investors with confidence and credibility every step of the way.

CANZA’s goal is for the Marketplace to operate at a national scale and serve as a credible, results-based model for climate and nature finance in agriculture.
