Yard Stick
The Yard Stick can be used to gauge soil carbon levels. Both scientists and farmers understand that adopting agricultural practices that are beneficial to the climate have the capacity to remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere every year. When these practices are implemented, more carbon is stored in the soil, thereby enhancing soil health and combating climate change. However, the ability to measure soil carbon accurately has been a significant obstacle until now. Yard Stick solves this problem by reducing the cost of soil carbon measurement by over 90%, which will significantly broaden the possibilities for implementing evidence-based regenerative practices. This, in turn, will improve the health of ecosystems, increase farmers' income, and contribute to the fight against climate change.
