Epoch provides geospatial AI and data integration to automate first-mile visibility for agriculture and forestry supply chains. The platform enables businesses to achieve regulatory compliance, such as EUDR, through verifiable supplier data. This results in accurate Scope 3 emissions measurement and supports supply chain decarbonization efforts.

Problem
Many companies lack transparent and scalable methods for monitoring environmental outcomes within their agricultural and forestry supply chains, hindering efforts to incentivize sustainable practices at the source. This opacity makes it difficult to track and reduce CO2e emissions generated by a global network of over two billion farms.
Solution
Epoch provides a system of record for supply chain sustainability data, leveraging earth observation and Web3 technologies to enable transparent monitoring of environmental outcomes in agricultural and forestry sectors. The platform allows corporations and governments to incentivize sustainability improvements at the first mile by connecting supply chains with collaborative data and financial infrastructure. Epoch automates emissions calculations, including biomass, soil, and process-driven emissions, even with custom lifecycle assessments. The platform aggregates multiple MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) data sources using open-source data standards and APIs for data sharing and reporting. Integrated payments facilitate collaboration on carbon reduction and removal programs across the supply chain.
Target Audience
Epoch targets companies operating within agricultural and forestry supply chains, as well as governments and NGOs seeking to promote and monitor sustainable practices.
