Successful Beyond Carbon Symposium and Consortium Meeting
Our annual Beyond Carbon Symposium and Consortium Meeting was a great success!
With 80+ attendees, over two energizing days, we explored cutting-edge developments in:
-Soil carbon data and modeling
-Agricultural data management
-Land trusts x carbon markets
-AI applications
-Farmer and land manager engagement
...and much more.
