What is incentive stacking?

Incentive stacking combines multiple financial incentives—such as USDA programs (EQIP) and private sustainability payments—on the same field to maximize farmer returns. It can also include the bundling of related products that support new practices like insurance, adoption of sustainable solutions or other financial products. CIBO's platform manages stacked incentives while ensuring compliance with program rules and preventing double-counting of environmental benefits.

How does CIBO’s software help make incentive stacking better?

CIBO automates the complex process of matching and managing multiple incentive programs on the same field. It determines farmer eligibility based on field data, verifies practice implementation, checks for rule conflicts and recommends sequencing to maximize payments. Real-time reporting tracks payments, acres and impact per program, acting like a co-pilot that guides farmers through complex rules while minimizing errors and risk.

What incentives are available through the CIBO platform?

CIBO supports US-based public programs (EQIP, RCPP, AMP) and private programs from food and beverage companies reducing Scope 3 emissions, sustainable solution providers (biochar, biofuels), and carbon reduction initiatives. Platform customers can configure incentive structures and eligibility based on their specific program offerings.
