Over the past five years, The Earth Partners LP has been developing scalable business models at the nexus of the key challenges facing our world: declining land productivity, unsustainable energy production, increasing water scarcity, and climate change. Focusing on marginal and degraded land, The Earth Partners' mission is to develop and implement innovative business models that will enable large-scale land restoration.

With over 600,000 acres aggregated in seven states, The Earth Partners' demonstrated skillset is 1) screening marginal and degraded lands where low-cost restoration treatments improve land productivity and create significant value, 2) aggregating land and landowners under long-term contract, and 3) developing financeable business models to fund the restoration and creation of environmental assets such as carbon and water. To this end, The Earth Partners' developed a leading VCS-verified Soil Carbon Quantification Methodology to monitor improvements in soil carbon, a reliable proxy for overall land health.

The timing is right—the government and the private sector are aligned around the need to find economic solutions on millions of acres of marginal and degraded lands. The Earth Partners is at the center of the current economic and political trends supporting the growth of bioenergy markets and the development of markets for ecosystem services.
