Climate Solutions on the Farm: How eAgronom is revolutionizing sustainable agriculture

Climate Confident

In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I discuss the importance of sustainable farming practices and the ways in which farmers can reduce their emissions. My special guest is Robin Saluoks, the CEO of eAgronom, a company that provides tools for farmers to track and manage their carbon emissions.

We begin by diving into Robin's background and how he got into the farming industry. He explains that eAgronom was created as a solution for his family farm, which was in need of a tool to manage the farm's planning, people management, financial reporting, and more.

Robin goes on to explain how eAgronom is used as a carbon greenhouse gas tracker to help farmers make decisions that reduce emissions and manage their farm sustainably. He shares the top ways for crop farmers to reduce emissions, such as adding cover crops, reducing fertilizers and cultivations, and using precision fertilization. He also mentions the best practices for animal farmers, such as changing the feed and capturing methane to turn it into energy.

We also discuss the benefits that farmers can gain from implementing sustainable practices, such as access to carbon credits and lower interest loans from banks. Robin shares his company's plans for the next 5-10 years, including creating a clear plan for agriculture to become carbon neutral and expanding to markets in Europe and Africa.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into the importance of sustainable farming practices and the ways in which farmers can reduce their emissions while still maintaining profitability. It is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the role of agriculture in addressing climate change.
