Swissx’s SoilBooster is quietly rewriting the rules of agriculture in the Caribbean—and it couldn’t come at a more critical moment. As global demand for verified carbon credits surges, the race is on to find soil-based solutions that are both scientifically credible and scalable. Enter Swissx. With its innovative three-sample protocol and island-based lab in Antigua, SoilBooster is empowering local farmers to turn their soil into a measurable climate asset.
The timing is perfect. Just this month, Earthshot Prize-winner Boomitra announced a massive expansion into Costa Rica—launching a grassland restoration project covering 250,000 acres, backed by Verra-certified credits and AI-driven monitoring. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s recent purchase of 60,000 soil-carbon credits from Indigo Ag has proven that the biggest players in tech are now betting on the soil beneath our feet.
Swissx is aligning itself with this rising tide. By simplifying access to carbon markets for small farmers, the SoilBooster program is bridging the gap between high-integrity verification and on-the-ground realities in vulnerable regions. The process is refreshingly accessible: farmers take three soil samples (before, during, and after treatment), which are then tested for carbon, nutrients, and microbial health. The results can be monetized as verified carbon credits, providing an entirely new revenue stream.
For Caribbean nations grappling with climate volatility and economic constraints, this isn’t just agriculture—it’s economic transformation. Swissx is doing what few others have managed: bringing the soil-carbon boom to the people who need it most, with a model that’s both low-cost and high-impact. As platforms like Boomitra expand globally, Swissx is making sure the Caribbean doesn’t get left behind.
