Mesta is a Spanish climate-agtech company that develops carbon-reduction impact projects in the livestock sector, helping dairy and cattle farmers cut methane emissions through precision-nutrition feed additives and better manure, feed and energy management. It finances and technically supports farmers and turns the verified reductions into high-quality carbon credits certified under Verra's VM0041 methodology, currently covering roughly 12,500 head of cattle across 90+ farms in 17 Spanish provinces. It was built as a corporate venture by Pascual Innoventures (Calidad Pascual's venturing arm) together with venture builder 7R Ventures, has run pilots achieving ~10-15% methane reductions per cow, partners with Iberdrola's Carbon2Nature, and has been recognised in the Expansión/KPMG/Bankinter sustainable-economy awards.
Pays farmers to adopt lower-emission practices and sells the verified reductions as registry-certified agricultural carbon credits, the same finance-the-farmer, sell-the-credit model Mesta uses.
Works with farmers on an on-farm climate intervention and turns the measured carbon gains into credits sold to corporate buyers, the same model of funding farm changes through credit revenue.
Enrols European farmers in practice-change programmes and issues and sells Verra-certified agricultural carbon credits, the European analogue of Mesta's project-developer model.
Supplies a feed additive that cuts cattle methane and monetises the verified enteric-methane reductions as carbon credits, closely matching Mesta's livestock feed-additive approach.
Develops methane-reducing feed additives for dairy and beef cattle and aims to generate certified livestock-methane credits from their use, the same livestock-emissions niche as Mesta.
