This is what it’s all about — backing bold innovators who are making a real difference in their communities and for our planet.
It was an honour to chair this inspiring session with @EarthshotPrize at #SXSW, spotlighting climate solutions creating real, lasting change 🌱🌍
.@AadithMoorthy named to 2024 TIME100 Next list
A member of the @KnightHennessy Scholars program 2018 cohort is honored for @Boomitra , his carbon sequestration startup.
The PhD student in Will Chueh’s lab, (on leave), wants to tackle big problems, so the company he founded addresses the climate crisis. Boomitra’s technology measures, reports, and verifies CO2 sequestration in soil, so that farmers and ranchers get paid for the carbon offsets from adopting yield-raising, climate-friendly techniques.
The @EarthshotPrize-winning startup has helped farmers remove 10 million tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. Moorthy hopes to double that soon and distribute $200 million by 2025 to marginalized farmers, especially in developing economies.
Moorthy knows that change often begins with an uphill battle, but he stays motivated by the pursuit of solutions that could move the climate needle on a “planetary scale.”

@Boomitra, FtMA, and @WFP launched a groundbreaking carbon farming initiative in Kenya. With Boomitra's satellite and AI technology and FtMA's Farmer Service Centers, this project will improve soil health, increase yields, and contribute to food security. https://t.co/6blBSIHWvA
After the chaotic US departure from Afghanistan, many vulnerable Afghans were left behind – and private citizens stepped into the void. One group of volunteers, The Thirty Birds Foundation, aimed to rescue nearly 500 Afghans, and Simin and @AbuzarRoyesh helped lead the efforts.
Yara Growth Ventures - our venture capital team - is happy to announce an investment in @Boomitra to help farmers more easily quantify and sell agricultural carbon credits. Learn more at: https://t.co/ymoI880Qwl 🌱 #carbon#agriculture#sustainability#farming#startups
