AgriCapture

Exciting news! AgriCapture has doubled the acreage in the Climate-Friendly Rice program, paying farmers $1.5 million. In its second year, the project has grown to cover 41,000 acres and 30+ rice farmers. Direct farmer payments, which will total $2.4 million by the end of the year, support the adoption of regenerative farming.

Are you attending Climate Week NYC this month? Tyler Hull + John Lanahan will be on-site for all things: - regenerative agriculture - methane emissions reductions - financing sustainable solutions See you in New York!🗽 Climate Group #ClimateWeekNYC

🛰️Pay attention to the sky tonight 🛰️ The Sentinel-2C satellite is scheduled for launch! What does that mean?   The Sentinel-2C launch will prolong the life of the Sentinel-2 mission, a series of Earth observation satellites. This launch will deliver a continuous time series of satellite imagery. Why is that important? This means that the data we use today will be available in the future. That continuity is vital as we monitor water and vegetation on farms.   Plus, interpreting this freely accessible data reduces the data collection burden for farmers and allows us to confirm regenerative farming practices remotely. So, bring on the field imagery cake and the watch party! You can watch the launch here via ARIANESPACE + European Commission + European Space Agency - ESA #Copernicus https://lnkd.in/etk2vcK Extra thanks to our Remote Sensing Specialist, Emily Sardello. We're glad she's in our orbit.

Our team had a great time at Newtopia Now this week! We appreciated hearing perspectives from food distributors, retailers, brands, and farmers on: ➡ Defining and advancing regenerative agriculture ➡ Importance of paying producers for their efforts ➡ The future of consumer preferences It’s always great to catch up with familiar faces, make new connections, and bring fresh insights back to our team in Nashville!

Thank you to US Rice Producers Association for hosting us in the Missouri bootheel yesterday, where the 2024 harvest is already underway! 🌾 The Missouri Rice Field Day covered updates on rice varieties, weed control, and water availability — important topics that help AgriCapture support rice farmers and their efforts to save water and reduce GHGs. We love any chance to meet and learn from farmers, researchers, and others in the rice industry!

AgriCapture's Sr. Agronomist, Lee Atwill, PhD checking on in-field water level sensors! Water level sensors provide ground-truth detection of drying events in Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD). Direct measurement data augments remote sensing and MRV for carbon markets and Climate-Friendly Rice. This field will produce a rice crop with over 30% less water and over 50% less methane than conventional rice production- all backed by AgriCapture's rigorous data collection and reporting!

Have you seen the schedule for LaunchTN's #3686fest? Find us on the climate tech panel on September 10th! AgriCapture's President, Tyler Hull, will speak alongside: - Connie Bowen (Farmhand Ventures) - David P. (Pioneer Fund + YokoVillage) - Julia Polk (New Value Consulting) Come say hi if you're in Nashville! 👋

AgriCapture attended the University of Arkansas Rice Field Day in Stuttgart, AR! 🌾 Today's sessions covered rice breeding, agronomy, and weed control — important topics that help AgriCapture support rice farmers and their efforts to save water and reduce GHGs. Our team regularly visits rice farms to work directly with growers and share the latest from researchers. Curious about the science of rice production?

We need to feed *and* cool the world. It is possible. It is happening. Real mitigation work has been proven on rice farms across the southern US. Do you know your nearest Climate-Friendly rice farmer? https://lnkd.in/g-QkA--j via The New York Times

Researchers have called for immediate action to reduce methane emissions ➡ https://lnkd.in/eaDPUPXj The good news? You can support rice farmers reducing methane emissions now. While reducing all greenhouse gases and removing carbon is important, methane is the strongest lever we can quickly pull to reduce warming between now and 2030. Methane avoidance projects mean: ✅ Immediate impact ✅ Potent warming mitigation ✅ No risk of reversal
