Soil Organic Carbon Monitoring
For farmers, estate managers, agronomists, food manufacturers and retailers - and the carbon markets.
Soil quality, food security and climate change are inextricably linked. Healthy soils improve agricultural performance, capture and store carbon and generate tradeable credits. ecometric has delivered a step change in the development and application of soil monitoring technologies. The result is highly accurate measurement, reporting and verification of soil organic carbon stocks – at scale and at low cost.
With a senior management team whose expertise spans from farming and precision agriculture to remote sensing and AI, ecometric is recognised for helping optimise soil and land management regimes. It enables efficiencies through improved understanding of soils and enhanced returns through lower input costs, meaning improved yields and increased profits.
ecometric also works with landowners to realise additional revenue potential from sequestered soil organic carbon stocks; unlocking ‘dark green’ carbon credits which set a new quality benchmark; built on carbon dioxide removal (CDR), monitored annually over a ten-year permanence cycle and logged in an immutable record.
Today our clients can be found across the UK, Europe and as far afield as Australasia. They range from farmers and land managers to agronomists, food producers, retail operators, credit buying funds and businesses. All keen to understand and mitigate the carbon footprint of their business and supply chain - and to put in placed trusted and proven monitoring tools to deliver change.
Delivering in the field
Emmett has worked with ecometric for two seasons. Our starting point, to find an affordable, scalable method to routinely monitor our soil organic carbon stock change in order to understand the impact played by our crops in the rotation. The end point, to establish an accurate-net carbon position. We have been really impressed. The ground truthed results have been highly accurate. Given that ecometric stands outside the ag-supply chain furthermore there is no commercial bias or need for other farm data. We strongly recommend and hope to work with ecometric on our Net Zero journey.
Emmett UK
Emmett is a vertically integrated farming, packing and marketing business supplying retail customers with specialised vegetable products.
Working in Partnership
From initial baseline soil sampling to satellite survey and AI evaluation, ecometric offers a vertically integrated platform to report the net carbon position of each field after each production cycle.
Reports include digitised soil organic carbon mapping for landowners, detailed reporting on carbon assets for land managers or, for example, soil organic carbon stock monitoring across a supermarket’s supplier portfolio, enabling annual tracking and reporting.
ecometric also works with clients to advise on historic soil dataset quality and suitability as a baseline source and to lay out the methodology to track future stock changes over time.
