Thanks for sharing this opportunity Elisa!

TheoryMesh is the only company in Canada today that tracks primary sustainability data for farm operations and manufacturing processes giving an accurate view of both the carbon footprint of inputs and identifies the opportunity to improve sustainability outcomes.

This is an incredible opportunity for food companies to get an accurate view of the sustainability of their supply chains and manufacturing and we would love to help.

Feel free to reach out to cbunio@theorymesh.com.

This is super exciting! For any agri-tech businesses looking to measure their GHG emissions (i.e. setting a baseline, measuring the impact of specific reduction projects or products, setting targets, etc.) we would love to collaborate at Carbonhound :)
