We’ve partnered with the Sustainable Food Lab to launch and facilitate 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] to learn more or to join if your company has made an agriculture commitment.
