Learning Lab 14: Empowering Land Stewardship with Open Technology
"Empowering Land Stewardship with Open Technology" with Holke Brammer of Certified and the Hypercerts Foundation.
Who owns data produced by land stewards, and who profits from it? What might it look like if the people closest to the land held the power to define, measure, and communicate their own impact?
In this Learning Lab with Holke Brammer of Certified, we're looking at how open technology protocols can support environmental organizations in protecting and leveraging the century's most valuable asset—data.
Working in collaboration with Ma Earth, Holke and his team are pioneering new models of impact certification, retroactive funding, and open infrastructure, meeting the changing landscape of corporate data aggregation and AI's rapid shaping of the interpretation and application of environmental data.
We're looking at how tools like AT Protocol (what BlueSky is built on), Hypercerts, and community-designed impact metrics can empower land stewards in stepping into a new relationship with data, funding, and translating their impact.
In this Lab we'll discuss...
📊 Who owns land stewardship data and why it matters
🌱 How AT Proto honors and protects user data
📊 Community-created impact metrics
🌱 How the Hypercerts Foundation's work in retroactive impact reporting can help environmental stewardship and philanthropy evolve to meet our current context
Whether you're deep in the open-source technology community or a complete beginner, all are welcome to this conversation exploring how open technology is shifting power towards the people doing important work of regenerating landscapes, in community.
