Swissx, known for its pioneering approach in eco-agriculture, has introduced a new initiative in Antigua and Barbuda that incorporates soil testing to assist local farmers in realizing financial gains from carbon credits. This program, named the SoilBooster, seeks to transform the agricultural landscape by creating measurable, monetizable environmental benefits through sustainable practices.

Swissx’s SoilBooster Program aims to empower local farmers while promoting carbon credit markets.
The initiative is anchored on a well-structured soil sampling protocol that aids farmers in documenting their soil’s carbon sequestration capabilities. Farmers are guided to submit three essential soil samples:
- The Baseline Sample is collected before applying the SoilBooster to establish a carbon measurement baseline.
- The Mid-Cycle Sample is obtained shortly after harvest, providing insight into the carbon levels at that time.
- The Post-Treatment Sample is gathered after the full impact of the SoilBooster application, showcasing long-term improvements in soil health and carbon storage.
These samples are sent to the Swissx-controlled Island SoilBooster Lab located in St. John’s Harbor, where teams of scientists conduct thorough analyses on carbon content, microbial activity, and nutrient density. The initiative's primary objective is to validate the advancements made by farmers, enabling them to monetize their efforts within the burgeoning global carbon credit marketplace—a move expected to economically empower Antigua's farming community.
Swissx's approach is distinctive as it intertwines environmental responsibility with financial innovation. By connecting regenerative agriculture directly to the carbon trading market, Swissx is helping to foster sustainable economic growth in the region. The program is strategically designed to be accessible, with clear and uncomplicated instructions that enable participation from even the smallest farming operations, only asking for small soil samples and straightforward packaging.
As the urgency to address climate change escalates, Swissx’s entry into carbon accounting reflects a holistic approach to ecological and economic sustainability. The company's prominence spans various industries, including media and health, and now it is making strides in climate solutions, thereby benefitting farmers, enhancing national sovereignty, and ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.
