John Wick and the Marin Carbon Project are pioneering carbon farming, a practice that sequesters atmospheric carbon in soil. This research-backed approach enhances soil fertility, increases crop yields, and makes farms more resilient to drought. Adopted globally, carbon farming offers a powerful solution to the climate crisis.
