I can't comment on the value of Clean Crop's technology, knowing next to nothing about it, but seed inoculation with a very high quality compost extract can accelerate germination, make that germination more uniform, and establish a diverse soil microbiome that both increases yields and boosts crop resilience. When coupled with cover crops, reduced or zero tillage, and diverse crop rotations, it accelerates a transition toward soil health that better captures and stores precipitation, reduces the need for expensive inputs, and increases soil organic matter. Carbon is sequestered rather than lost to the atmosphere, loss of soluble nutrients to ground and surface water is reduced, and the emission of hundreds-of-times-worse-than-CO2 nitrogen oxides from soil is arrested. All of this increases farmer income and benefits surrounding and global communities.
So, while there are new products and services that may be useful in adapting to climate change, there are also low-cost things that can be done -- things made, controlled by, and immediately benefiting farmers themselves.

Thanks for sharing that Eric, I found that to be a very interesting watch.
