Howdy, Zengineers!

We’re back at it trying to help understand Climate Change with our buddies at Nori. This week we’re joined by CEO, Paul Gambill to hear an update on what’s happening at Nori and where they are headed.

There’s a lot of technology driving Nori. Not only are they a software company building on top of a blockchain backbone, but they also have to worry about the organic-to-digital translation of real world measurements — tracking the carbon content in physical materials like the atmosphere and soil and converting it into bits of computer data.

In this episode we dive into where Nori is headed from a technological perspective. We discuss how Nori is currently working with farmers to build economic incentives backed by real data to encourage carbon capture and help make farming generally healthier and more sustainable. It’s a lot to digest, but it’s all delicious. See what we did there? Hilarious!

Hope you enjoy the convo.
