As Seen In
We’re turning practices on the farm into reliable resources for utilities and water markets.
What is NeptuneChain?
NeptuneChain helps utilities and their customers create a distributed future for water quality.
How does NeptuneChain work?
We offer polluters an easy way offset their nutrient loading and support sustainable agriculture practices. Pollution makes it harder to manage water sustainably, but good farming prevents pollution, leading to better water, greater value.
Who can benefit?
Water quality is a benefit for everyone. Nutrient pollution, a critical global issue, finds its solution in our local and on-farm actions. We’re leading a revolution in water management—one field at a time.

Q&A
What is nutrient pollution?
Nutrient pollution refers to the excessive presence of nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus, in water bodies, which can lead to harmful ecological and environmental impacts such as algal blooms, oxygen depletion, and degraded water quality.
How does nutrient pollution affect farms?
Nutrient pollution can negatively impact farms by causing imbalances in soil nutrient levels, reducing crop productivity, and harming livestock health. It can also contribute to the contamination of nearby water sources, affecting both agricultural and natural ecosystems.
How does nutrient trading help address nutrient pollution?
Nutrient trading promotes more cost-effective and flexible ways of reducing nutrient pollution. It allows entities facing high costs to reduce nutrients to purchase credits from those who can achieve reductions more efficiently. This incentivizes innovation, encourages best management practices, and promotes collaboration among stakeholders to achieve overall nutrient reduction goals.
Are there any challenges associated with nutrient trading?
Implementing nutrient trading programs can face challenges such as establishing accurate nutrient reduction measurement methodologies, ensuring proper monitoring and verification, addressing equity concerns, and ensuring the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the trading system. However, these challenges can be addressed through careful planning, stakeholder engagement, and ongoing program evaluation and refinement.
