Today seems like a good day to talk about transitions. Speaking of which, I'm thrilled to announce that I've started a new role with Farmers Edge leading their sustainability work in the U.S.!
I'm honored to be a part of an amazing team that is meaningfully addressing climate change by helping our partners and enterprise customers save money achieving their sustainability goals while enabling farmers to improve profitability.
After working in the public and nonprofit sectors for over thirty years, I'm excited to now be fully immersed in the private sector, helping our partners and farmers make meaningful progress on carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, carbon intensity scoring, Scope 3 emissions reduction targets, MRV, and other sustainability goals.
I'm forever grateful for the opportunity to lead the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance as its founding executive director over the last decade. Working closely with Iowa farmers and over one hundred partner organizations, we aligned over a quarter of a billion dollars to improve water quality by scaling conservation practices on over four million acres through some of the largest and most successful public private conservation partnership projects in the nation.
As deeply as I care about water quality, I am even more passionate about addressing the related crises of climate change and biodiversity - undoubtedly the biggest challenges of not only our generation but also for our children and grandchildren. I am very pleased to now have an incredible opportunity to work on these inextricably linked challenges at Farmers Edge. I've been amazed by the talented technologists, strategists, and other brilliant colleagues at Farmers Edge who are committed to lifting up ag sector and food and ag value chain members on their sustainability journeys.
Farmers edge was founded in the fields by agronomists helping farmers optimize yields, reduce costs, and improve profitability as a Business-to-Consumer (B2C) company working directly with producers. Following a change in leadership, we realized we could create more value as a Business-to-Business (B2B) company providing technology solutions directly to enterprise customers in the food and ag sectors.
I look forward to collaborating with agribusinesses, CPGs, ag associations, conservation organizations, and farmers to accelerate their progress in improving sustainability outcomes by leveraging Farmers Edge's agronomic insights, experience, data, models, platforms, IP, and technology.
