I recently researched and presented some staggering facts about Climate change at a conference, one of which was the forest land area across Canada burnt by wildfires - more than 45.7 million hectares, shattering a record (2.6 times over) for the most acres burned in Canadian and North American history! Air quality deterioration and loss of Biodiversity and habitat have been obvious results. One of the main factors for this has been soaring global temperatures which is a direct result of increasing levels of Carbon dioxide in our atmosphere (420 ppm now - 50 percent higher than it was before the Industrial Revolution!). Research, studies and primary data have proven how practices under Regenerative Agriculture can help sequester carbon back into the soil increasing its Organic content (which too has reduced from 1% to 0.3% in the last few decades) and helping in reduction of land and ocean average temperatures.

🎉 Congratulations to CO2BC member Boomitra on being named to TIME’s 2024 TIME100 Most Influential Companies list!  https://lnkd.in/enmcBdZg 🌎 Last week, Boomitra announced that it joined forces with DP World, a global supply chain solutions company and Earthshot Prize Founding Partner, to remove CO2 from the atmosphere through regenerative agricultural practices. Full article: https://lnkd.in/gr_SBrGN Boomitra works with over 150,000 farmers and ranchers managing five million acres of land across Africa, South America, and Asia to implement regenerative agriculture practices. Boomitra’s satellite and AI technology measure soil improvements, tracking the soil’s increased carbon storage over time. Companies and governments looking to offset their emissions can purchase third-party verified carbon removal credits from Boomitra’s marketplace. The majority of revenue generated from the sale of each credit goes directly to the farmer, rancher, or landowner—the key drivers of #CarbonRemoval. #CarbonRemoval #ClimateTech #CarbonManagement

🌱 Our latest AirMiners session dug into soil organic carbon, a promising and evolving realm involving carbon storage nature-based solutions (NbS). 👩🔬 While it may be challenging to find true consensus in the science of soil carbon measurements, reporting, and verification (MRV), particularly in the US where carbon markets remain voluntary, there’s a considerable agreement that regenerative farming practices hold significant promise for both land health and mitigating climate change impacts. 🌾 Enter Jessi Roesch and Downland. With approximately a third of all US producers aged 65 or older, a substantial generational land ownership shift is on the horizon within the next 10-20 years. 👨🌾 Downland’s program will leverage this monumental opportunity by offering financial backing to aspiring producers and equipping them with training in regenerative techniques – providing access to capital that many may otherwise lack while simultaneously clearing a potential path to farm ownership. 🚜 As Downland expands, its vision extends to influencing adjacent industries in agriculture and land management, including: Direct land acquisition Streamlined supply chain coordination Nature-based carbon solutions Insetting/offsetting strategies Support for succession planning Promoting ecotourism Farming as an amenity 🥕 Explore Downland further below. If you’re able, contemplate financially supporting this movement, as I have. Together, let's cultivate meaningful change! #RegenerativeFarming #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NaturebasedSolutions #CarbonSequestration #GreenerTogether

I am pleased to announce the launch of a new collaboration between TNC and LDC on regenerative agricultural and habitat conservation practices in agricultural supply chains. Transitioning to a regenerative food system, free from deforestation and natural habitat conversion, is critical to achieving our global #climatechange and #biodiversity goals. LDCs strategic position in the value chain means they have a key role to play to incentivize and support the needed transformation of the global food system, by driving adoption of regenerative agriculture, helping to reduce emissions, conserve ecosystems and natural resources, and drive climate resilience in farming communities.

🐑 Rhug Estate in North Wales is setting a new standard for sustainable farming with impressive net zero achievements! They've invested in green energy projects like wind, solar, hydro, and heat pumps, aiming to reduce emissions and improve carbon sequestration. ♻️ Notable initiatives include fitting a hydrogen electrolyser to a delivery van, converting utility vehicles to gas, and introducing regenerative agriculture methods to support soil health and livestock efficiency. But this is not all, Rhug Estate's commitment to sustainability extends to partnerships with food waste reduction schemes and staff training on climate change awareness. 🌍 These initiatives not only benefit the environment but also set a positive example for others in the industry. Keep up the great work! #SustainableFarming #NetZero

Rollin' up our sleeves as we head into Earth Week! Time to do the work! We are calling on all corporations, municipalities, foresters, institutions, and gardeners to incorporate biochar in your daily grow operations. You can be a carbon hero by using biochar when you plant trees. Sequester biochar carbon in those acres of greenspace outside corporate HQ. Add biochar to raised beds to they tolerate the heat better. GOLF COURSES and muni parks... biochar should be mandatory here! (Tell your course managers about biochar.) Add it to the asphalt and cement for those path and pad needs. And of course... our trusted farmers and ranchers can use biochar as applicable to their resource concerns and lower input costs. Finance and jobs drive markets. This applies to biochar. The more biochar becomes part of our everyday life, the more we buy, the more green jobs are created, more investments flow into the industry and more BIOCHAR CARBON CREDIT become available. It becomes virtuous cycle. Biochar helps us do more with less in our modern lives. Improve water holding capacity, increase tilth, greater above and below ground plant grown, improved beneficial soil biology, and works to restore the carbon balance! Share your strategies and tag us in your biochar photos! Visit the USBI website for biochar application guides and other useful fact sheets. Our directory has listings for biochar producers and suppliers in your area. https://lnkd.in/gq9xTsHd #biochar #soilcarbon #regenerativefarming #carbonmarkets

The Midwest: An Untapped Powerhouse for Sustainable Agriculture & Green Tech When people think of green tech innovation, they often look to coastal cities or high-tech hubs. But what about the Midwest? Known for its rich agricultural roots, this region is home to an emerging opportunity at the intersection of sustainable agriculture and green technology. One company driving innovation is Midland Co., based in Ames, Iowa and founded by Jackson Kimle, an Iowa State University alum. Midland Co. is bringing shrimp and fish production—known as aquaculture—to the heartland. Traditionally, seafood production has been a coastal industry, but Midland Co. is transforming that by using algae to streamline the process, reduce waste, and create environmental benefits. Algae in their systems captures waste nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, turning them into valuable by-products, while also cutting down on wastewater discharge and carbon emissions. This sustainable model allows them to produce shrimp and fish domestically, reducing the carbon footprint associated with importing seafood. Midland Co. is already building new production facilities in Iowa, proving that innovative green tech solutions can flourish in the Midwest. The potential for sustainable agriculture and aquaculture in the Midwest is enormous—from regenerative farming practices to renewable energy on farms, and companies like Midland Co. are leading the charge. At Shade Ventures, we’re excited to connect investors with groundbreaking startups, helping to advance sustainable solutions that benefit both the planet and the bottom line.
