It would basically be looking at farm scale across a broad spectrum. Richard Teague out of Texas A&M has done a huge amount of study on soil carbon sequestration rates. There's always a disconnect between what has come up in research plots and what's actually happening on the ground, because it hasn't been at a broad enough scale. The institute is about going out to the actual farms and ranches to see what's happening on the ground instead of trying to find some sort of version of it that we can study on a university campus or at a research centre.
