Parker Cohn, Performance Resource Management

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 remote sensing technologies to rebuild the soil on golf courses, sports fields, and farms with massive implications for global environmental conservation. Results delivered by PRM include: improving the health of our food supply; increasing carbon cycling; providing a cleaner water supply by reducing chemicals and runoff; reducing the carbon footprint of PRM clients, while allowing businesses to greatly reduce operating costs. The water and energy infrastructure of agriculture in the west is a major threat to health and food security around the globe. Parker’s systems are powerful answers we’ve been looking for to support soil carbon sequestration and move toward solving our climate crisis. Parker holds a BA/BS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of San Diego, where he discovered and developed his strong interest in the future of water conservation.
