What is Climate Beneficial™?
From soil to fiber, and every step in between.
Climate Beneficial™ has been developed by, and is upheld by scientists, technical service providers and the non-profit Fibershed.
We work together to accurately measure the impact that regional fiber systems and the working lands, that they rely upon, have on our ability to reverse climate change.
Impact to the climate is measured using a combination of direct soil measurement, computer modeling via dynamic environmental systems models, as well as localized peer reviewed data from our region’s land grant universities. Farm and ranch soil mapping, site analysis, and extensive evaluation for carbon capture is written and documented in a formal Carbon Farm Plan which functions as a road map for land stewards to follow.
Annual implementation data collection is monitored by technical service providers and documented from each ranch or farm on a back end data-base. Our technology provides up to date aggregated greenhouse gas measurements that are available to our partners that are utilizing Climate Beneficial Wool. Each year the shepherds and ranchers operationalize and implement new beneficial practices and provide continual improvement on existing practices. Each wool garment made from Climate Beneficial fibers contributes to the expansion of climate benefitting land stewardship.
The Climate Beneficial™ Verification program and label
supports farmers and ranchers in landscape level
stewardship that centers the work to build healthy soil.
We focus on engaging producers and developing financial and technical
support to enhance the drawdown of carbon from the atmosphere.
