This cross-sector event brought together about 100 thought leaders from farming, ranching, academia, industry, and government to address one of agriculture’s biggest challenges: connecting real-world, field-level data with cutting-edge data science to scale regenerative practices and climate impact.
Under Chatham House Rules, participants explored:
- Innovations in measurement and modeling
- The future of soil carbon markets and Scope 3 programs
- Remote sensing, permanence, and practice detection
- The importance of co-designing systems with producers at the center
