Dairy Science Intern

This below is a brief introduction. You can find more about us and the role on this link!

We are looking for our first Dairy Science Intern, who will work closely with the co-founders on research, review and analysis of emissions reduction practices for dairy farms:

• Aggregate and synthesize data across various on-farm emissions reduction or removal practices to inform our recommendation engine, including:

  • Priority:

    • Manure management (e.g., biogas)

    • Enteric fermentation management (e.g., feed additives)

  • Nice to have:

    • Agroforestry (e.g., silvopasture)

    • Soil carbon sequestration (e.g., weathered rock)

• Interview experts and project developers / technical service providers to validate findings

• Work side-by-side with our software engineers to review and improve recommendation model logic

What is Lasso?

Lasso is an emissions reduction platform to decarbonize supply chains. It is an exciting new space, and with which we can transform a traditional industry.

Why does this matter? Methane emissions in the beef and dairy industry are responsible for nearly 15% of total global warming potential. But even more importantly, methane is a very fast-acting greenhouse gas; it is 80x more potent than CO2 in a 20-year timeframe. If we can stop methane emissions quickly, we are in a much stronger position to stop climate change.

We are a Seed stage startup, with total funding near $5mn, and work with some of the largest food processors and brands in the US.
