Patty & her team help farmers reduce their carbon footprint by turning crop fields into carbon sinks. A carbon sink is a system that absorbs more carbon than it releases, which helps create stronger, more resilient fields & crops. This also reduces runoff & erosion!

Happy #WorldFoodDay! Dairy farmers grow crops like corn & alfalfa to harvest and feed to the cows. Cows produce milk, and their manure is recycled as fertilizer for the next crop. A closed loop ♻️ helps reduce waste, support healthy soil, and provide the fresh dairy we all enjoy!
