SUMMARY

  • Mondelēz International’s impact fund, Sustainable Futures, has invested in eAgronom, a startup from Estonia that helps expand eco-friendly farming across Europe.

This funding is part of eAgronom’s Series A2 round and will help the company grow into new markets, aiming to cover over 4 million hectares of farmland by 2026.

Started in 2016, eAgronom works with over 3,000 farms in 10 countries—like Poland, Romania, and Sweden—managing 2.5 million hectares. It gives farmers digital tools to improve soil health, track carbon impact, and earn money through carbon credits.

The investment deal was supported by Sagana, a global firm that checked eAgronom’s business model and environmental impact.

“This investment in eAgronom fits well with the Climate impact thesis of Sustainable Futures and our wider sustainability goals of building greater resilience within our key supply chains,” said Susanne Mathis-Alig, Senior Director of Sustainability at Mondelēz International.

This move shows that big food companies are becoming more interested in climate-friendly farming. They want to protect their supply chains from problems like climate change, loss of biodiversity, and stricter environmental rules.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Mondelēz as investors,” said Robin Saluoks, CEO of eAgronom. “More broadly, partnerships with food companies play a vital role in driving progress toward net-zero food production over the long term. Together, we can empower farmers to adopt sustainable practices and improve soil health, which are both essential steps toward building a sustainable agriculture sector.”

This partnership also makes eAgronom an important part of the carbon insetting trend, where companies focus on cutting emissions inside their own supply chains instead of paying for outside carbon offsets.

“eAgronom’s platform provides a broad set of capabilities covering project development, on-the-ground support, and financial access,” said Michael Weber, Senior Director of Climate & Environment at Mondelēz International. “We look forward to supporting the team’s efforts, especially on the insetting side with carbon removals forming part of many companies’ carbon reduction pathways while external standards continue to evolve.”

eAgronom helps farmers accurately track their carbon emissions and join certified carbon programs. This is important because food companies are looking for scientific ways to reduce their carbon impact.

The global voluntary carbon market is expected to grow to over $50 billion by 2030. Carbon credits from farming methods like no-till farming, cover crops, and using less fertilizer are becoming more popular and valuable.
