Carbon might be the “wild west” of agriculture, but new opportunities are emerging for producers ready to navigate the market.

In this episode of the WildAg podcast, hosts Dr. Andrew Little and Nate Fluger dig into carbon markets and supply chains with Gabriella Scolio and Jacob Penner of The Nature Conservancy. They break down what carbon credits are, why agriculture plays such a big role, and how companies and producers can benefit from credible climate strategies. The discussion covers common misconceptions, the challenges of contracts and scale, and why tracking on-farm data can open doors to future opportunities — plus a look at how net-zero goals are shaping supply chain relationships.
