Problem
Accurate, scalable, and cost‑effective measurement of soil carbon is lacking, limiting the ability of farmers to verify and monetize carbon sequestration practices and hindering growth of the voluntary soil carbon credit market.
Solution
EarthOptics provides a digital twin of soil by combining high‑resolution field sampling with advanced analytics to quantify soil carbon at scale. Its measurement platform delivers precise, repeatable carbon data that can be reported, verified, and used to generate tradable soil carbon credits. By offering a cloud‑based MRV (measurement, reporting, verification) service, the company enables farmers to access carbon markets and improves transparency for carbon offset buyers. The resulting data also supports agronomic decisions that enhance soil health and crop yields, creating economic benefits for growers and environmental benefits for the climate.
Target Audience
Primary customers are farmers and agribusinesses seeking to generate and sell soil carbon credits, as well as carbon offset buyers and registries requiring reliable soil carbon data.
