Low-cost soil carbon measurement technologies to enable soil carbon removal at scale.
About
Soil carbon stocks have been depleted in the last 150 years, resulting in massive emissions. Reversing this trend is possible, but significant measurement challenges have held soil carbon efforts back - until now. Yard Stick is an instant soil carbon and measurement technology that helps farmers and ranchers understand the climate impact of their management practices. We are the data backbone of soil carbon.
Key Benefits
Other soil carbon measurement technologies are focused on remote sensing (data via satellites). Soil carbon is underground and cannot be measured by satellite. Yard Stick is evidence-based and exclusively in-field/on-farm while still being low-cost.
Applications
Our solution is exclusively a data/digital technology. We rely substantially on free markets to incentivize agricultural management practice change. We reduce inequality in farming and ranching communities by rewarding climate-friendly practices.
