438: Parker Cohn on Sustainable Solutions for Saving Water, Soil, & the Environment

Parker Cohn is a soil management expert who helps farms increase the quality and quantity of crop yields while reducing the amount of water, energy, chemicals, and labor used. His business, Performance Resource Management, uses a unique combination of biological processes and drone technologies to rebuild the soil on farms and golf courses with massive implications for global environmental conservation. 

These results include creating a healthier food supply, increased carbon cycling (which slows climate change), a cleaner water supply (via less toxic chemicals and runoff), and reduced carbon footprint, while allowing businesses to greatly reduce operating costs alongside improved crop health and yield. Parker’s systems are powerful answers we’ve been looking for to support soil carbon sequestration and move toward solving our climate crisis. 

Parker is an active board member of Trevor’s Trek Foundation whose purpose is to enforce Trevor’s Law, passed in 2016 to identify childhood cancer clusters and remediate the environmental toxins that cause them. If you know anyone who was affected by childhood cancer you can help by filling out or sharing TTF’s Community Impact Form at trevorstrek.org.
