Companies will be soon able to track the carbon emissions from an ear of corn to a pork chop, allowing them to market products to environmentally conscious eaters.
Farmer’s Business Network Inc. -- which has been likened to an “Amazon” for farmers -- has launched Gro Network, which will track and score the carbon intensity of grain. That will allow buyers to label their products to consumers as “green” and potentially get a higher price for farmers who use more sustainable practices.
