Sustainability Data Standards: What Ag Can Learn from Other Sectors Introduction: The cornerstone of all sustainability credit markets, including carbon, water quality, methane, and biodiversity, is data. The availability, quality, and cost of this data are crucial factors when setting baselines, monitoring agronomic practices, or measuring outcomes. Sustainability credits offer significant opportunities for farmers, agribusinesses, and the global community. What insights can we glean from other sectors that have successfully established and upheld data standards? And how can these insights guide AgGateway’s future role and trajectory in the sustainability credits area? Presenter: Andrew Selck, Partner, Kearney | Agriculture and Food Practice Andrew has more than 15 years of experience working within the agriculture industry focused on designing commercial and digital strategies and creating innovative new business models. Andrew grew up on his family’s farm in Wisconsin and stays close to the field and farmer. He has an MBA from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University and maintains a CPA license.
