Athian, a cloud-based carbon marketplace for the livestock industry, has received a seed investment from Tyson Ventures, the venture capital arm of Tyson Foods Inc.
This latest investment from Tyson Ventures, along with previous investments from Elanco Animal Health Inc. and Newtrient LLC, will fast-track the launch of the first-of-its kind transactional carbon credit inset program for the livestock sector that will provide producers economic incentives for on-farm sustainability practices, while helping improve the sustainability of the food system and reduce climate warming.
