The carbon credit market has a fairness problem. Here's what's happening with artisanal biochar projects: The Reality Check: ↳ Small farmers with pit kilns vs. industrial automated facilities ↳ Both create stable carbon storage ↳ One gets premium prices, the other gets discounted Why This Gap Exists: 🔍 Data Access Inequality Corporations buy expensive sensors and lab testing. Smallholders can't afford this tech stack, not because they don't care about quality. 📋 Verification Mismatch  Current monitoring systems were designed for big industrial plants. They don't scale down to hundreds of micro-kilns efficiently. ⚖️ Perception Problem Simple kilns create doubt about consistency. But here's the truth: most artisanal batches are just as stable as industrial ones. 🧠 Unconscious Bias Buyers still think "bigger equals better" without examining the actual carbon science. The Cruel Irony: The farmers who need carbon incentives most to stop burning crop waste are the ones getting locked out of premium pricing. No data transparency → No trust → No capital flow to those who need it most. This isn't just a market inefficiency. This is climate justice in action. What's your take on bridging this gap? Have you seen successful models that work for smallholder carbon projects? ♻️ Repost to help people in your network. And follow me for more posts like this.

Good to see my colleague at AniVC , Vlad Cernouţan, featured in The Woof newsletter 🐾, sharing some sharp insights on what’s shaping investor decisions in the pet space 🔥. 😎 ☕ 🐾 💡 Vlad makes a strong case for what continues to matter: real defensibility — whether through IP, data, or brand equity, and the importance of teams that can go beyond just building products, but also being able to execute and scale business models. He also emphasizes that customer acquisition means little without long-term retention and trust, especially in regulated or care-driven parts of the market. He also highlights a few areas with strong return potential: 👉 Longevity and preventive health are moving from human to pet care, driven by tech and streamlined regulation. 👉 Functional nutrition (“Nutrition 2.0”) is evolving — no longer just about affordability, but about proven, evidence-backed benefits. 👉 AI-powered infrastructure is finally solving some of the stubborn problems in vet ops, insurance, and other fragmented parts of the ecosystem. 👉 Human biotech crossovers and integrated health platforms could reshape the next wave of innovation. 🐾 I am inspired about being able to move a needle in the pet industry, via our work at AniVC and for those who don’t know, our cofounder and partner Anna Skaya is a stellar founder herself—she built Basepaws, one of the first at-home DNA testing startups for pets, and led it all the way to acquisition 😎. Now she’s channeling that same passion into AniVC, helping back the next wave of innovators in the animal space 🚀. So, if you’re building something exciting in pet tech or animal health 🔬, or investing in it 💰, reach out. We’d love to connect! ☕ Last but not least, kudos to the Roy Ben-Tzvi from The Woof Newsletter for the article, link in the comments 👇 Image credit: The Woof.
