3 weeks ago Amanda T. Noriega

Land O’Lakes launched a carbon credit generation and trading program last week that it said will help crop farmers capitalize on rising demand for greenhouse gas emission credits while making farms more sustainable.

Agricultural companies have been launching green agriculture or carbon-trading programs in recent months, pressured by environmentally conscious consumers and expectations of policies meant to counter climate change under the Biden administration.

Land O’Lakes subsidiary Truterra LLC unveiled its TruCarbon program, a collaboration with the Soil Health Institute. The companies have contracted to sell 100,000 metric tons of credits to technology giant Microsoft Corp.

Luv’s Brownies launches a dessert truck to celebrate 25 years in business

Andrea Lacy believes some challenges are blessings in disguise. Case in point: Her brownie recipe.

During her first semester at San Jose State University, she was baking a thank-you gift for a friend and noticed that the dough was thicker than usual. She baked the batch anyway, and they were a big hit. But when she revisited the brownie recipe later, after she was diagnosed with dyslexia, she realized she had transposed some numbers.

A few years later, in 1996, while working at Hewlett-Packard, Andrea launched her Luv’s Brownies — the first internet-only bakery, she says. Thanks to that recipe and her SEO skills, the venture was an immediate mail order/delivery and catering success. In the years since she was first featured in this newspaper, she’s been written up in Ebony, Essence, Black Enterprise, Today’s Black Woman and Every Day with Rachael Ray magazines and garnered awards for both her
