Salesforce agrees to buy 500,000 rice methane credits from Mitti Labs

Salesforce has signed a five-year offtake agreement with Mitti Labs to purchase 500,000 satellite-verified methane reduction carbon credits by 2030. The credits derive from alternate wetting and drying irrigation practices on smallholder farms in India, which reduce agricultural methane emissions by up to 50% and water usage by up to 40%. Project performance is independently audited using Mitti Labs’ GeoAI platform, developed with NASA, which combines ground-truth data with high-resolution radar satellite monitoring. This deal follows a similar corporate purchasing agreement between Mitti Labs and Google, indicating growing voluntary market demand for data-backed agricultural credits targeting non-CO2 pollutants.
