Certified Scope 3 impact for the agri-food supply chain.

Proba turns fertilizer emission reductions — and other climate interventions — into certified Scope 3 results.

Built for the agri-food supply chain: from producers and traders to food companies and project developers

For Food and Ingredient Companies

Scope 3 targets don’t meet themselves. Start with the biggest lever in crops — fertilizer emissions — and turn reductions into certified results you can report.

For Commodity Traders & Cooperatives

Scale credible Scope 3 reductions across your supply chain. Proba helps you verify fertilizer emission cuts at supply-shed level, so you can engage farmers, satisfy buyers, and structure the value your way.

For Fertilizer Producers and distibutors

You built the better product. Now prove the impact. With Proba, your low-emission fertilizers come with verifiable reductions — so food companies and traders can use them in Scope 3 reporting.

For Partners & Project Developers

Not a fertilizer producer, trader, or food company? If you’re developing, financing, or supporting agri-food interventions, Proba can help you turn impact into verified result.

Fertilizer emissions can make up to 40% of crop-related Scope 3 emissions. But for most of the supply chain, they’re invisible, unmeasured, and unclaimed.

  • You can’t hit targets if you can’t track this.
  • Your buyers will start asking (if they haven't already).
  • And if you’ve already made the change, you’re not being paid for it.

Agrifirm Plant-Based Solutions and Proba are jointly working on a project cutting fertilizer-related crop emissions across arable supply chains. Farmers adopt low-carbon and controlled-release fertilizers plus nitrogen stabilizers; Proba quantifies the impact and issues third-party-certified emission-reduction units aligned with SBTi FLAG and the GHG Protocol. Food companies sourcing from these chains can claim the verified reductions in Scope 3 reporting.

INSETTING LEADER

Decarbonize supply chains, from within

Proba is an insetting leader for fertilizer-related decarbonization in the agri-food sector. Insetting is about reducing greenhouse gas emissions within your own supply chain, rather than compensating for them through external projects. 

Insetting makes sustainability initiatives scale. Fast. 

We turn your impact into verified, tradable certificates, driving measurable results:

Increase co-financing from buyers seeking Scope 3 compliance (7)

A BETTER AGRI-FOOD INDUSTRY

Transform low-carbon fertilizer technologies into verified impact

The technology for sustainable fertilizers already exists. Proba helps you quantify and certify the emission reductions achieved by integrating these innovations into your supply chain, enhancing transparency, unlocking co-financing, and strengthening sustainability claims.

We certify impact from greener production processes, such as:

  • Introducing Enhanced efficiency fertilizers
  • Improving nutrient use efficiency (NUE) practices
  • Switching to of low-carbon fertilizers

By converting reductions into verified, tradable certificates, we turn sustainability efforts into measurable value.

ONE STANDARD
