Sustainability and Climate
Carbon Farming
Carbon Farming means all activities agriculture can undertake for sustainable reduction and sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. One challenge in Carbon Farming is to independently assess and verify the actions taken as well as their impact on carbon sequestration.
Vista offers an EO-based MRV-Tool to monitor, report and verify farming measures as well as to derive soil organic carbon.
Soil Organic Carbon Measurement from Space
Reliable determination of field carbon stocks is key to monitoring the climate impacts of carbon farming and to developing business models.
Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Carbon Farming Measures
The MRV Tool includes functionalities to monitor the carbon in plant and soil, to report on required measures like crop rotation and catch crop planting, and to verify them. Additionally, their impact can be evaluated. This enables performance assessment of sustainability measures and more resilient farming practices.
Satellite data are integrated with field data and the sophisticated crop growth model PROMET. There are two ways for the MRV-tool to receive data: either fully automated via API or in a less automated way e.g. via email.
Customers with performance-based remuneration for sustainability services, such as carbon certifiers, governmental agencies, NGOs and the agri and food industry rely on this service as well as agricultural service companies.
Reliable and cost-efficient reporting and verification for the sustainability measures that have been performed by the farmer is provided by the service as well as independent assessment of the success of carbon sequestration measures and information for educated decisions.
