    • 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?
