LatAm Business Development Lead

<div><span style="font-size:24px;">About The Role</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick is looking for a </span><b style="font-size:11pt;">Principal Soil Scientist </b><span style="font-size:11pt;">to help us fight climate change with soil.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">The Principal Soil Scientist will spearhead our science team. This looks like designing and implementing Yard Stick’s research goals and roadmap, defining the scientific partnership strategy, and making sure high quality soil science principles are integrated across all Yard Stick functions. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick’s mission is clear: We must replace lab analysis of soil carbon with in situ spectroscopy if carbon removal via soils is to have meaningful climate impact. Beyond markets, of course, improved quality of measurement will also increase our ability to understand the nature of changing soil carbon stocks around the world. The ideal candidate is a soil scientist who is passionate about high-quality proximal sensing research and mapping, particularly in regards to soil carbon. This candidate will have demonstrated successful leadership and motivation of a small team and values radical candor and company culture. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">This role will lead a team of our current Senior Soil Scientist, Sarah Coffman, and report to our cofounder and Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Meissner. This scientist can be based anywhere in US time zones, with the ability to travel ~10-20% (combination of field work, science meetings, as well as company and scientific partner on-sites). </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">This is a dream job for a pedometrician or soil scientist with proximal sensing experience who enjoys applying their knowledge to real world problems through high-quality and rigorous lab and field research. Someone who wants to nurture engaged and multidisciplinary research teams without the red tape of government and academic institutions will enjoy this work at Yard Stick.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We would like to hire this role ASAP. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;">About Yard Stick PBC</span></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.useyardstick.com/" style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> is a remote-first climate tech startup with cofounders based in Boston, MA and Oakland, CA. We are on a mission to reverse climate change with agriculture. Scientists and farmers alike know that climate-friendly agricultural practices have the potential to remove atmospheric CO2 at gigaton/year scale. When these practices are adopted, more carbon is stored in soils, improving soil health and fighting climate change. But significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">By reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by 70-90%, Yard Stick will dramatically expand the opportunities for evidence-based regenerative practices to simultaneously improve ecosystem health, increase farmer income, and combat climate change. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Current soil carbon measurement technologies are slow, expensive, and cumbersome, relying on conventional soil cores and labs to quantify carbon stocks. In contrast, Yard Stick is fast and cheap - without sacrificing accuracy. As a testament to our technology’s potential, alongside our scientific collaborators, we were awarded </span><a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220921005377/en/Yard-Stick-and-Partners-Secure-225M-in-USDA-Grants-for-Climate-Smart-Agriculture" style="font-size:11pt;">$18M across six USDA Climate-Smart Commodities projects</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, and we have additional grant financing from </span><a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/soil-health-institute-awarded-3-25-million-from-arpa-e-to-develop-soil-carbon-measurement-and-monitoring-system-301124040.html" style="font-size:11pt;">ARPA-E</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, </span><a href="https://seedfund.nsf.gov/awardees/history/details/?company=yard-stick-pbc" style="font-size:11pt;">NSF</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, CDFA, and other discerning grant-makers. We’ve also raised another nearly $18M from top climate VCs, including Toyota Climate Venture Fund, Lowercarbon Capital, Breakthrough Energy Ventures (Bill Gates’ climate fund), Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund, The Nature Conservancy, Extania, Pillar VC, MCJ Collective… the list goes on!</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">For more background, check out some coverage of Yard Stick in </span><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2023/08/17/yard-stick-measure-soil-carbon/?ref=ctvc.co&amp;guccounter=1" style="font-size:11pt;">TechCrunch</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, </span><a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/90796487/is-regenerative-agriculture-the-future-of-farming-or-the-next-greenwashing-fad" style="font-size:11pt;">Fast Company</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, and </span><a href="https://agfundernews.com/yard-stick-lands-18m-to-equip-agrifood-with-faster-cheaper-soil-carbon-measurement-tools" style="font-size:11pt;">AgFunder</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We offer competitive salary and equity (benchmarked to 75th percentile of high-growth US tech compensation), health/dental/vision insurance, a 401k, and home-office reimbursements. We have many team members with young families and have a strong track record of creative, flexible approaches to hours and communication expectations which let folks feel great about their commitments both to Yard Stick and their lives outside of work. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We’re also a </span><a href="https://www.helloresolve.com/analysis/public-benefit-corporations-what-they-are-and-why-you-should-care/" style="font-size:11pt;">PBC</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, or public benefit corporation, which is an alternative corporate structure which protects our ability to prioritize climate impact over profits if the two are in conflict.

You know how to motivate a team, contribute to company culture and enthusiastically lead tactical efforts.</li></ul><h3>Qualifications (Nice to Have)</h3><ul><li><b>Awareness of current issues in soil carbon MRV. </b>You’ve heard of soil carbon marketplaces, you’ve at least perused emerging protocols and you’re interested to learn more about how they work, and how measurement, reporting, and verification, Yard Stick’s field, is a key part of how they can grow in credible climate impact and commercial attractiveness.</li><li><b>Successful leadership of high-value grant proposals. </b>Yard Stick has already won over $4M in grants, including large awards from DOE and an NSF SBIR. Currently, our grant work is led by our partner <a href="https://www.climatefinancesolutions.com">Climate Finance Solutions</a>. You would liaise closely with this partner and experience navigating the grant writing (and grant winning!) landscape is highly attractive to us.</li><li><b>Experience working with commercial hardware and software offerings.</b> You can anticipate challenges that come with deploying new technologies and softwares. You are adaptable to new tech and can articulate clear bugs or feature needs to a technical team.</li><li><b>Personal, durable enthusiasm for the challenge of climate change. </b>It matters to you that you’re working on a problem of existential significance. You get fired up by the fact that your work can help avoid others’ suffering. You’re briefly overwhelmed by the scale of the problem... and then you’re right back in the ring doing your part.</li></ul><br><div><span style="font-size:24px;">Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick’s impact goals go well beyond climate science. Why? Our company operates primarily in the US agricultural sector, which is predicated on centuries of mass land theft and disenfranchisement of Native and Black people. This harm continues today. If we’re going to work in this sector, we need to leave it better than we found it.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Consistent with our core value of “</span><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RhQub_w6f-N6d05pgYsCyDC8wNOvVwCvSALg6Wh-itw/edit?usp=sharing" style="font-size:11pt;">Pursue Justice</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">,” we speak up about these issues, and we support emerging solutions and relevant policy efforts such as </span><a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr40" style="font-size:11pt;">H.R.40</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> and </span><a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/s300" style="font-size:11pt;">S.300</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">.

For more background, check out some coverage in </span><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/02/17/yard-stick-provides-measurement-technology-to-combat-climate-change/" style="font-size:11pt;">TechCrunch</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> or </span><a href="https://www.treehugger.com/can-soil-save-us-company-intends-find-out-5198965" style="font-size:11pt;">Treehugger</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We've also raised money from top climate VCs, including </span><a href="https://www.breakthroughenergy.org/" style="font-size:11pt;">Breakthrough Energy Ventures</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> (Bill Gates' climate fund), </span><a href="https://lowercarboncapital.com/" style="font-size:11pt;">Lowercarbon Capital</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> (Chris and Crystal Sacca's climate fund), </span><a href="https://www.mcjcollective.com" style="font-size:11pt;">MCJ Collective</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, and others. Details of the financing aren’t announced in a press release or article, because that can feel a bit cart before the horse, but we're happy to share more detail about our funding when we chat.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:24px;">About The Role</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">This Soil Carbon Tech role is critical to the success and rollout of Yard Stick’s offerings and works in-field across the country and a variety of project types to meet our R+D and client goals. The Yard Stick team and our client base is spread across the country, but our current focus is primarily in the Midwest. We’re growing quickly, and this position will be an essential role with significant responsibility. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">You will be primarily responsible for testing our hardware and software in fields across the US to help us evaluate and improve our technology’s accuracy, durability, and usability. You will be leading projects geared towards calibrating our technology, as well as collecting measurements to quantify stocks on client lands using a variety of different methodologies. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">You’ll provide feedback on hardware and software tools alike, as Yard Stick has innovative offerings in both domains. Obviously, when stuff breaks, you’ll document why and help us brainstorm ways to improve. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick’s offerings combine a large number of disparate disciplines, including highly technical hardware, a web app which manages carbon measurement and GIS data, and ML pipelines which connect the two. This person ultimately will work cross-disciplinarily along with our hardware, software, soil science, and business teams alike to maximize the pace of Yard Stick’s R&amp;D and therefore climate impact, so the ability to communicate clearly to a wide range of people is a must.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">We need someone who can handle rigorous field work with efficiency and exceptional precision. The ideal candidate for this role is comfortable traveling, working outdoors, handling a wide array of equipment, and working in a team off 2-6 people through projects that can include rapid schedule changes, long days, and inclement weather. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Currently, Yard Stick is focused on proof of concept of our in situ spectral probe. Generating high-quality, publishable data requires excellent field operations. In parallel, we’re also creating our commercial offerings. This role will be crucial in carrying out both streams of work.</span></div><br><br><h3>Qualifications - Must Have</h3><ul><li><b>Some combination of education and/or experience in natural sciences, agriculture, conservation, soil science, natural resource management or another related field of study. </b>We don’t require formal education, but one way or another, you have the experience that’ll make you comfortable on farms and around producers, and are no stranger to having your hands in the dirt. </li><li><b>Extensive experience and comfort with physical field work. </b>Experience working with your hands out in the field is key to this role. You don’t flinch at the idea of 8 hours in the sun moving from customer farm to farm, sometimes for two weeks straight.</li><li><b>Comfort with field tools, technologies and strategies. </b>Our offerings use technologies like GPS, ATVs, and mobile app-based sample inventory tracking systems. You can drive an ATV, or you’re not afraid to learn. You use mechanical tools comfortably. Note: Yard Stick will provide a vehicle if you don’t have one for this role, or will generously reimburse if you do.</li><li><b>Attention to detail and commitment to craft. </b>When you take a 30 cm soil core, it’s 30 cm. You care deeply about the details. You take written instructions well, triple-check your work by nature, and will follow an SOP to the letter. You are proud to do your work very well.</li><li><b>Strong personal independence and entrepreneurial autonomy. </b>If you can’t get your boss on the phone, you figure it out. You assess the situation, consider solutions, make a plan, and execute, even if your closest coworker is 100 miles away.</li><li><b>Comfort with extended travel. </b> Projects can often be in remote areas of the country -- spending a week or two at a time away from home is essential to this role.</li><li><b>Personal enthusiasm and comfort in agricultural contexts. </b>You care about farming or ranching. The idea of helping activate agriculture to fight against climate change excites you. It matters to you that you’re working on a problem of existential significance.</li><li><b>Ability to share product feedback to improve systems. </b>When you’re asked for feedback, you pay attention and communicate observations clearly, especially in writing. You document things carefully and are curious when using new products or technologies.</li><li><b>Existing permanent authorization to work in the United States.</b></li></ul><h3>Qualifications - Nice To Have</h3><ul><li><b>Personal, durable enthusiasm for the challenge of climate change.</b></li><li><b>Awareness of current issues in carbon markets - particularly carbon removal. </b>You’ve heard of offsets/credits and some of the attendant criticism of low-quality projects of the past and present. You’ve got some basic knowledge about how carbon markets work, and you’ve heard about how carbon removal is a new, exciting, and controversial approach to climate challenges.</li><li><b>There will be a significant portion of the year that we’re not sampling, and we’re interested in other skills you can bring to the team! </b>Specifically if you have any of the following, we’d love to hear about it: GIS or other mapping software; vehicle and equipment maintenance; equipment + logistics management; agricultural sales or similar; agronomy; data science, etc.</li></ul><h3>Compensation and Other Details</h3><ul><li>$30-40/hr to start, with travel expenses (including time) paid. Performance raise after a set number of projects have been completed. </li><li>Remote first, Midwest/Plains preferred (NE/KS/CO/IA)</li></ul><br><div><span style="font-size:16pt;">Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Yard Stick’s impact goals go well beyond climate science (although our #1 core value is Climate Impact). Why? Our company operates primarily in the US agricultural sector, which is predicated on centuries of mass land theft and disenfranchisement of Native and Black people. This harm continues today. If we’re going to work in this sector, we need to actively work to make it better.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Consistent with our core value of “</span><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RhQub_w6f-N6d05pgYsCyDC8wNOvVwCvSALg6Wh-itw/edit?usp=sharing" style="font-size:11pt;">Pursue Justice</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">,” we speak up about these issues, and we support emerging solutions and relevant policy efforts such as </span><a href="http://H.R.40" style="font-size:11pt;">H.R.40</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> and </span><a href="http://S.300" style="font-size:11pt;">S.300</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">. We also </span><a href="https://myclimatejourney.substack.com/p/the-growing-climate-solutions-act" style="font-size:11pt;">publicly highlight the risk of further racial discrimination</a><span style="font-size:11pt;"> in emerging agricultural legislation like the Growing Climate Solutions Act.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:11pt;">Regarding hiring and culture, we work to create a work environment where everyone feels confident sharing their ideas, problem-solving happens openly and collaboratively, and mistake-making is welcomed. We also standardize our interview process and questions to reduce “likeability” bias, benchmark salaries against industry databases to reduce negotiation, and utilize tools like the Gender Decoder (this one is</span><a href="http://gender-decoder.katmatfield.com/results/bb901375-3e5e-4307-a4da-a5397bdcfc4b"> feminine-coded</a><span style="font-size:11pt;">, fwiw). Climate change is arguably the most complex challenge ever faced by humanity - we need all of humanity activated to fight back, and that motivates us to build a diverse team.</span></div>

Open Call - Soil Carbon Field Tech (Contract - Central US based)

<p><strong>Full-stack Developers</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sustainable Agriculture SaaS start-up</li>
<li>Hybrid (able to travel to our shared office in London regularly)</li>
<li>&pound;4-7.5k per month (depending on experience) + equity options</li>
<li>Flexible working hours, support for professional development, working directly with our co-founders in a fun, fast-paced environment.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Are you a developer wanting to apply your skills in way that has a positive impact on the planet?</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>At Soil Benchmark we&rsquo;re on a mission to restore the health of soils around the world via our Digital Soil Management platform. We&rsquo;re a fast-growing start-up and need more awesome developers like you! Join us to help shape a future where healthy soils support profitable farms delivering nutritious food, clean rivers, thriving wildlife, and carbon removal.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Do you want to make a real difference to one of the biggest challenges of our time? (And how can you answer &lsquo;no&rsquo; to that one?)</strong></p>
<p>Unsustainable agricultural practices are degrading our soils. This is awful news for both farm businesses and for the environment. When soils are degraded, the farms no longer reap the benefits of natural soil functions in supporting the profitability of their businesses. At the same time those soils no longer function properly in their roles of cleaning water, storing carbon and promoting biodiversity.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re our ideal candidate, you'll care about how humanity is impacting our planet, and you might already be aware that the health of global soils is at crisis point. Soil Benchmark helps solve this crisis. Our independent, data-driven, software assists Farm Advisors (currently in the UK but you will help us expand elsewhere) in defining and implementing sustainable soil management practices.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Our software utilises the wealth of existing environmental datasets and on-farm records to ensure that sustainable soil management is intuitively defined and easily communicated. We are growing really quickly (&gt;170,000ha since we launched out of beta in November 2023). This growth means that we are looking for a couple of developers to join the team and use their skills and enthusiasm to make some tangible impact.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>OK nice idea. But why should I quit my nice cushy job to work at a start-up?</strong></p>
<p>We&rsquo;re a start-up but we&rsquo;ve shown we are onto something. We were initially backed by grant funding from DEFRA, Ordnance Survey, the European Space Agency and the University of Edinburgh. Off the back of that and pre-seed funding we&rsquo;ve built a great product that is now generating recurring revenues from farms across the country. But we want to accelerate our growth even further, and to do that we need more developers like you!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>So, yes, we&rsquo;re early-stage and you&rsquo;d have to be ready to roll your sleeves up and get stuck in, but we also think we&rsquo;ve shown we&rsquo;re going places. We&rsquo;d love you to come on board and help make sure we achieve our ambitious mission.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Great, I&rsquo;m sold. How can I get involved?</strong></p>
<p>We have a clearly defined plan of what we need to build (both new product development and also the optimisation of our sales funnel to drive growth). We are looking for a couple of developers to come on board and play a key role in delivering this plan. You&rsquo;d be working closely with Ben (our co-founder and CSO), as well as our other developers (Henry, Anastasiia, and Richard) and directly with our customers (farm advisors and farmers) to build useful, intuitive software that they really want to use!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What we&rsquo;re after:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Green: </strong>you want to make a tangible difference to improving the environment and helping lighten our impact on the planet &ndash; (please, please don&rsquo;t apply if you aren&rsquo;t passionate about this, it&rsquo;s<strong> by far</strong> the most important qualification).</li>
<li><strong>Team player: </strong>we're building a tribe, not just a team! Think stupid gifs on slack. Away days. Attending inspiring conferences/events. That sort of thing. We want someone who&rsquo;s willing to get stuck in with us.</li>
<li><strong>Love learning</strong>: we really don&rsquo;t mind if you don&rsquo;t have experience in exactly what we do or our full tech-stack. As long as you like learning and pick things up you&rsquo;ll be brilliant!</li>
<li><strong>Problem solver</strong>: we exist to solve problems for our amazing customers. They are fantastic at giving us lots of feedback, and hopefully you&rsquo;d enjoy the chance to help come up with neat ways to sort things out for them. And then get more feedback... We&rsquo;re looking for someone who wants to work with short feedback cycles like this.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What will I actually be doing day-to-day?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Building our software based on the features that our users have already asked us to add to our platform. In the short term this would focus on adding features to our Soil, Manure and Nutrient Management Plans.</li>
<li>Using your experience in software development to read between the lines of feedback and identify the problems that users are facing &ndash; and then come up with and build novel features that solve those problems. Even if users aren&rsquo;t telling us explicitly what the problem is - e.g. making a feature more intuitive if you see on a live demo that users aren&rsquo;t quickly working out how it should be used.</li>
<li>Refining how we sell the platform and also building out our internal dashboards to work out which bits of the customer journey we should focus on improving.</li>
<li>Working with and deriving national scale geospatial datasets</li>
<li>Speaking with our customers (farm advisors and farmers) to get their feedback (this could be watching them use the product live on a call which we do frequently, or just them getting in touch with feedback). Then working with them and the team to define new features and products.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Our tech stack:</strong></p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s our current tech stack to whet your appetite (but to re-iterate what we said earlier, we really don&rsquo;t mind if you don&rsquo;t have experience in the full stack below, as long as you like learning and picking up new things up):</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Programming Languages:</strong> R, Python, Javascript, CSS, SQL, PL/pgSQL, HTML</li>
<li><strong>Frameworks</strong>: Shiny, Leaflet</li>
<li><strong>Database</strong>: PostgreSQL, PostGIS</li>
<li><strong>Tools</strong>: Git, Docker</li>
<li><strong>Google Cloud Platform</strong>: Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Cloud SQL</li>
</ul>
<p>We think this is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly scaling start-up and make a tangible contribution to our mission.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Of course, the package will include salary (&pound;4-7.5k per month depending on experience) and generous equity options so that you share in our success. We also know that working towards our mission needs to fit into both your life and your career:</p>
<ul>
<li>We are open to in-office or remote working options. We have a shared office space in Farringdon, London. It would be ideal if you are able to get to London fairly easily as we try to meet up as a team at least every few weeks in person. But if you want to be in the office every day, or work mainly from home, either is fine with us!</li>
<li>We know that there are other things in life than work, so we have flexible working hours. Work when suits you (within reason) and take holiday when you need to. We are all committed to our mission and trust each other to work hard to achieve our ambitious goals.</li>
<li>We are also really proud to support professional development for all our team. We want Soil Benchmark to be a driver not just of soil health on our customers' farms, but of the careers of all our team.</li>
<li>And finally, a job should be fun! You spend too much of your life doing it to not enjoy yourself. So while we do work hard to build tools that our customers are asking for, we don't take ourselves too seriously. You will be working alongside our co-founders in a fun, fast-paced environment.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Ready to join our mission and be part of a dynamic team that's making a real difference? If you are a passionate developer with a drive to create positive environmental impact, we'd love to hear from you!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Apply now and join us in this rewarding journey to restore the health of our soils and contribute to a sustainable future!</strong></p>

<p class="p3"><strong>About Hudson Carbon</strong></p>
<p class="p11">Hudson Carbon is an on-farm research institute and soil lab based at Old Mud Creek Farm &amp; The Churchtown Dairy, in Hudson, New York. Our work is focused on developing and implementing research projects that are aimed at better understanding the dynamics of soil &amp; biomass carbon, and greenhouse gas cycling in regenerative, organic agricultural systems &amp; regenerative forest management. Beyond contributing to the literature, our goal is to operationalize our research to catalyze the adoption of regenerative organic agriculture and forestry as a solution to climate change, ecological degradation, and food sovereignty. We achieve this by contributing to state and federal policy development, and collaborating on food system development projects more broadly.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp; </span>To that end, we work with world-class research institutions like Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, The Woodwell Climate Research Center, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, as well as other local and regional stakeholders, including farmers, land conservancies, cooperative extensions, and state &amp; federal legislators. Hudson Carbon was founded and built by organic farmers, bringing a unique perspective to the space, grounded in practical domain knowledge, systems-thinking, and a passion for ecologically-minded agricultural production.</p>
