CarbonFarm
By 2050, the world needs to reach net-zero emissions. Today, agriculture is responsible for 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing these emissions is important and carbon investors are willing to pay farmers to do so. But this requires transparency. Transparency over the methods farmers are employing, transparency over the emissions they produce. CarbonFarm is using satellite data and artificial intelligence to provide this transparency.
