Earth911 Podcast: Terviva’s Marc Diaz Introduces the Pongomia, a Tree for the Climate Crisis

Climate change is a pressing issue that is affecting traditional crops worldwide. With the rise of droughts, extreme weather events, and soil depletion, innovative solutions are needed to combat these challenges. One such solution comes from the pongamia tree, a hardy species with the potential to restore degraded agricultural land and provide sustainable food and fuel sources.

Marc Diaz, the Chief Commercialization Officer at Terviva, an agtech company, is at the forefront of unlocking the soil-restoring potential of the pongamia tree. Through Terviva’s Ponova platform, the company is showcasing how pongamia can not only improve soil health but also create equitable supply chains that benefit smallholder farmers, particularly women in India. These farmers receive above-market wages and technical support, empowering them to cultivate pongamia sustainably.

The versatility of the pongamia tree goes beyond environmental benefits. Its protein- and oil-rich beans can be used in food applications and biofuel production, making it a valuable resource for sustainable agriculture. Recent partnerships with Chevron Renewable Energy Group and Japan’s Idemitsu have further scaled pongamia cultivation for sustainable aviation fuel, showcasing its potential in the renewable energy sector.

Terviva’s focus on providing farmers with technical support, financial backing, and education on new cultivation methods highlights the importance of addressing their needs when transitioning to climate-resilient crops. By prioritizing equity in their business model, Terviva proves that commercial success can go hand in hand with positive social impact.

The story of the pongamia tree exemplifies the adaptive and multi-purpose approach needed for climate-resilient agriculture. By reimagining food and fuel systems for a changing world, Terviva is leading the way in sustainable farming practices.
