Yard Stick

Yard Stick develops soil carbon measurement technology, differentiating itself from existing solutions by reducing the cost of measurement by over 90%. The company achieves this by providing farmers with spectral hardware, allowing them to plan, measure and analyze measurement efforts with methods that are cost-effective, scalable, and simple to achieve.

Whilst augmented carbon soil sequestration technology already exists, Yard Stick has recognized that it is simply too expensive for most farmers to justify, despite their understanding of the importance of such methods. Whilst the company will face challenges from agricultural technology giants developing similar technology, it has shown great potential to facilitate soil carbon measurement and sequestration to scale and at low cost and has benefitted from substantial funding. This will help the company scale and aid more farmers in futureproofing operations whilst contributing positively to climate change mitigation.
