Carbon Yield

Through our work at Carbon Yield, we are seeing the stress and uncertainty of the last few weeks taking a toll on our partners. We have been getting intense questions from partners, friends, and family about our climate future. We thought it might be nice to share where we see signs that meaningful work has its own gravity, that our progress is in many ways baked in to the technology, incentives, and natural systems critical to our work. There is still much work ahead, and work to defend the generational investments in conservation and rural communities. But we sit at this moment optimistic that the future of agriculture and our broader economy is regenerative. See my medium post below.

This partnership has been incredibly rewarding and came to fruition with a great webapp to ease the data process for farmers!! Check out Option Zero for all your climate tech needs!

We’re excited to share that Carbon Yield has made two excellent additions to our team this past year: Vivian Powell, our Data Analyst; and Madalene Andoe-Leggett, our Agriculture Project Manager. They quickly became so integral to our team that we forgot to share their arrival with the world... Welcome, Vivian and Madalene! ?? Vivian (they/them) joined the team in August of 2023 as our first full-time addition. They hold a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Applied Math & Stats, and they’re passionate about science communication, data, and building more just and resilient food systems. Over the past year, Viv’s data expertise and creativity has played a key part in designing our new data system, working with GHG models, project quantification and lit review, and much more! Madalene (she/her) started in February 2024 and has been an invaluable part of our team since. She has a B.A. and over a decade of experience in sustainable food systems, and is driven by a dedication to forging environmentally beneficial, equitable food systems. Carbon Yield is strengthened by Madalene’s dedication, agriculture experience, and organizational prowess, and we are lucky to have her!
