Fireside Chat with Roth Analyst Brian Wright - Fintech for Agriculture: Growers Edge and Green Star Royalties
Increasing interest and demand for carbon sequestration is opening up new capital pools for farmers. Sequestration and its carbon offsets allow farmers to monetize these efforts and has led to the development of marketplaces where entities can purchase these credits to offset their carbon footprints. In conjunction with these offset programs, there is the development of technology backed lending solutions to streamline farmers’ ability to borrow against these carbon assets providing improved liquidity and capital pools.
