• Developed our first validated pathway and verified GHG outcomes for grain crops in Canada, and verified GHG offsets and insets in the US, based on grower data.

• Co-launched with Canadian business leaders the Canadian Alliance for Net Zero Agrifood (CANZA) with industry-leading peers, which aims to foster collaboration and innovation to reduce emissions in the agri-food value chain.
