CIBO wants to partner with enterprises and organizations that are submitting project proposals for the USDA's $1 billion Climate Smart Commodities Partnership Initiative. The company's technology provides detailed impact quantification, reporting and verification of farming practices and their carbon impact. 

The Soil Carbon Initiative, a regenerative agriculture certification program, seeks 100 new farmers to begin go-to-market pilots this spring.

The Seattle-based company will establish a line using Biofraction technology, capable of processing 100 tons of organic bio-waste per day into sources of renewable commodities.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a farmer say they wanted more on-farm government intrusion. Practice mandates generally aren’t welcome amongst the individualistic, entrepreneurial types who gravitate to farming, though some mandates have seen positive outcomes over time. Improvements in the Chesapeake Bay come to mind, though the improvements have taken awhile and are incremental.
