Almost one year has passed since the CFA launched its Incubator program in March of 2020. After receiving 75 applications from around the world, 15 projects were chosen and received mentorship from the CFA as well as CFA members. We are proud to announce a series of webinars featuring the selected projects in order to showcase the progress they have made. This is also a great opportunity for these projects to interact with the wider CFA community, and we encourage you as members to join and learn about these exciting and innovative conservation finance projects!
As one of CFA’s incubator enterprises, Carbon Yield has been developing an innovative approach to marketing carbon stored within regenerative farms. Along with their partners at Hudson Carbon and Earthrise Alliance, Carbon Yield is excited to introduce the Hudson Carbon Marketplace that features place-based, natural offsets that tie climate action to specific farm parcels managed by exceptional carbon farmers. The marketplace helps differentiate high quality, regenerative agriculture offsets, earning farmers enough carbon revenue to overcome barriers to regenerative practices. The platform also integrates with e-commerce partners to associate retail carbon sales with climate positive products. Carbon Yield is excited to present the project as they prepare to launch with offsets generated on a 2,000 acre regenerative organic farm. As carbon market veterans, soil science researchers, and environmental entrepreneurs, their team is also looking forward to connecting with CFA’s members and allies for a broad conversation about how to overcome barriers to climate impact on working lands.
Claire Pluard and Sam Schiller, co-founders of Carbon Yield will host the webinar, alongside Matt Sheffer, Managing Director of Hudson Carbon, and Stephen Downs, Creative Director of Earthrise.
