Our Rooted Community Action Group

We’ve launched an ongoing interactive action group on carbon farming, called the Rooted Community. It's open to all companies that have made the agriculture commitment. The group meets monthly, and content addresses a range of topics relevant to carbon farming, including:

• Measurement to quantify regenerative agriculture
• Resilience in small-holder supply chains, and
• Collaborations in specific crops/regions.

Interested in joining? Please email [email protected] for more information, and to be included in this ground-breaking action group!

Tools to help you measure net carbon and explain how to talk about it:

• Cool Farm Alliance’s Cool Farm Tool
• USDA’s COMET-Farm Tool for calculating net carbon
• PUR Projet for insetting, supply chain impacts, and agroforestry
