The program will work with Native American producers in three states – Florida, Montana, and Oklahoma – whose primary source of business income comes from beef cattle farming. In addition, this new program will enable Native American producers to get credit for their conservation practices by creating pathways to connect with carbon markets. “We are extremely excited to launch this important project for livestock farmers, particularly those in Native American tribes and communities,” said Brandon Day, Chief Operating Officer of the Yield Lab Institute. “The deliverables, the mapping analysis and tool, we hope will serve as a resource for Native American livestock producers to measure, validate, and monetize the value that they create.
