With this $3 million project now in its final 120-day closeout phase, DWFI Director of Research Christopher Neale discusses this initiative at the intersection of energy, agriculture and policy. He shares insights into how the team translated rigorous field-level measurements into tools that bring credibility to carbon credit markets.
