Yard Stick is proud to announce a six-year DOE-funded study led by @wsucahnrs on how biochar/hemp can improve soil health and boost yields. Our role is to precisely measure soil C - critical for assessing the long-term benefits of these practices! 🔬.
news.cahnrs.wsu.edu
Scientists will explore how soil-boosting biochar and hemp affect important crops like wheat, corn, and chickpeas in a new long-term study.

Sadly, this issues will only continue unless we realign incentives. The single best indicator of soil health is soil organic carbon, so whether you care about food security (= national security!), emissions reductions, CDR, resilient supply chains, thriving rural economies,. .

A solution which can’t show its work or stand up to expert peer-review is no solution indeed. Yard Stick was founded because “what gets measured gets managed.” We’ve mismanaged SOC stocks for decades, with predictable, and terrible, results.

Soil C MRV has been a hot topic in recent years, and rightly so! But that means there’s a lot of nonsense out there. With appreciation towards earlier-stage tech trying to do the same thing, we think we’re doing this “the right way”: w/ a peer-reviewed pub in a top-shelf journal.

Of course, we’re all standing on the shoulders of giants - spectroscopy for SOC is by now a multi-decadal discipline. We didn’t make this up!. *Nonetheless, we believe we’re the only commercially-deployed in situ spectroscopy solution for SOC stock quantification in the world.*.
