Measure and monitor the
organic carbon in your soil

Whether your company is on its path of decarbonization or you are interested in carbon credits. We offer you a reliable, affordable, easy-to-use, and scalable solution to monitor and report carbon stored on farms.

AgroCares Carbon Monitor solution combines an innovative approach in soil testing and utilizing the wealth of global data points and satellite information to calculate the carbon stocks easily.

Our AgroCares Carbon Monitor Solution allows you to get the soil carbon stock in Soil Organic Carbon and CO2 equivalent per hectare in only four steps:

Sampling Plan

We use conditioned Latin Hypercube
Sampling to automatically create a statistically sound sampling plan for the farm, minimizing the necessary soil samples.

Analysis

We help manage the complexity of your on-farm carbon reporting. Our Carbon Monitor Solution can help you to manage and monitor your samples and understand the carbon impact of regenerative agriculture activities carried out on the field. Moreover, this data can be used fo verification and to report the results to stakeholders in your supply chain.

How do you demonstrate that carbon is sequestered
on your farm?


According to the GHG Protocol Land Sector and Removals Guidance and the carbon standards, a monitoring framework is required.

Measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) are the cornerstones of a sound monitoring framework. They allow tracking the farm’s progress in carbon sequestration, either for insetting or compensation (carbon credits) purposes.

Measurement

1. Measurement
and monitoring

Farmers who adopt regenerative land management practices increase carbon sequestration (removals) in the soil. Confirming this information requires measurement. MRV protocols usually require measurement at the beginning (baseline) of a carbon sequestration engagement and in periodic intervals (monitoring):

MRV protocols usually require measurement at the beginning (baseline) of a carbon sequestration engagement and in periodic intervals (monitoring):

1.1. Baseline data

Before the implementation of regenerative agricultural practices, the baseline soil carbon pool of the farm is determined by strategic soil sampling using the AgroCares Carbon Monitor Solution.

Unlike removals, baseline data on farm emissions do not need to be measured but can be calculated using, e.g. the Cool Farm Tool.

1.2. Monitoring data

With the AgroCares Scanner Solution, the soil sampling can be repeated annually
to give the most accurate monitoring data.

Alternatively, use the DNDC model to model your annual soil carbon dynamics
and ground-truth the model with the AgroCares Scanner Solution every 3 -5 years,
depending on the carbon standard you are using.

Any key data on your farms must be compiled annually in the form of inventories, such as the amount of fertilizer applied, crop yields, and other data related to practice changes.

Our interactive web-based portal stores all your soil sampling data, such as location, SOC content and CO2 equivalent per hectare. This data can be easily imported into your farm management software via an API.

verification

3. Verification

All farm information related to practice changes should be evaluated by an independent auditor. Different guidelines have been set by different carbon standards with Verra currently verifying the highest standards. The AgroCaresScanner technology is approved for use under the Verra methodology VM0042 for Improved Agricultural Land Management.

Only when the reported farming data is verified can the carbon stored in the soil be counted as removals or carbon credits.
