Reversing climate change means emitting less CO2 in the future, and it also means removing our past emissions. Nori is the first to offer anyone the ability to take responsibility for their own emissions and pay farmers for removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

NORI is an innovating company doing the hard yards to create a new pathway for voluntary carbon sequestration via regenerative farming systems. Adding more carbon to the soil is good for agriculture in many ways as well as providing agro-ecological services for society's interest in correcting the climate imbalances from our carbon habit. The NORI Carbon solution strengthens the technology shift from hard-steel tillage that accelerates both erosion and carbon release from the soil. The cropping system that replaces conventional tillage is based on the benefits from a healthy, well balanced no till cropping system. In the US there are approximately 300 million acres of harvested crop land of which 100 million have shifted to the no till system. When a farmer's no till is healthy (meaning full of life like worms and fungai) each acre can sequestrate from one to five or more metric tons of CO2e. At the current price of $16.50 a no till cropping system can generate upwards of $40 to $75 per acre per year. This is a VERY BIG deal for agriculture. NORI is smart, youthfully excited about this responsibility, and not waiting around. GO NORI GO!

This is an intelligent contribution to face an important survival factor on our planet!
This is much better than just reducing emissions. We have the technology and innovation to remove carbon dioxide. Great idea.

Wow someone actually doing something to remove the C02, better yet giving us the tools to do it ourselves. Shit like this saves the world, good on you guys! Im sending this to my fav Senator in Hawaii Brian Schatz, he is a bad ass in the world of saving this world and I hope you bad assess will unite!

Reading through the Nori literature I'm left with a simple question...why hasn't this been done before?
The Carbon capture market will be worth billions shortly and the Nori model is an exemplary first mover strategy.
Using tech for Carbon capture obvious game changer, but things like "no till farming", all round perfect ecological practice used for years is an easy alternative, and one I'd never heard of until reading up on Nori!
This is a massive deal, for all of us. Wish Nori a fast and wide scale up.
