Insets + Scope 3 Emissions Reductions
Ground-truth data is the foundation for Scope 3 emissions reductions. At AgriCapture, we rely on actual field-level data, not regional defaults, to measure, monitor, report, and verify your climate impact. We work directly with farmers and can certify on-field emissions reductions in your supply shed.
Insetting is the term used when companies reduce GHG emissions from within their own supply chain. For food and beverage companies, Scope 3 emissions often come from crops and ingredients sourced for their products.
Working with AgriCapture, agriculture value chain companies can confidently claim Scope 3 emissions reductions for rice and other commodity crops.
Our dMRV + Insetting Process
Connect with the Grower
Our Field Data Staff connects with growers to understand their unique operation and capture relevant operational data that can’t be obtained remotely.
Monitor Practices Remotely
We use remote sensing to monitor sustainable practices at the field level, reducing the burden for farmers, ranchers, and landowners while increasing credibility relative to self-reporting and surveys.
Quantify Greenhouse Gas Emissions
We integrate with biogeochemical models such as COMET and DNDC to quantify greenhouse gas emission data and soil carbon sequestration using the latest peer-reviewed science.
Verify Our Findings
We undergo third-party verification to ensure a high degree of rigor around our process and results.
Verified Face-to-Face and From Space
Weekly Satellite Monitoring
Our Data Management team utilizes satellite imagery to collect time-series imagery and detect changes in land use over time. By processing and analyzing this data, we are able to measure and monitor irrigation practices, residue management practices, and vegetation.
Aggregating Field Operations Data
We provide low-burden solutions for farmers, ranchers, and landowners to integrate field maps and documentation of irrigation, tillage, fertilizer application, and other operational data into our database management system.
Direct Soil Sampling
Using our proprietary soil stratification software, we apply a multi-staged stratification approach to select soil sampling points on a property. Our Data Management team then analyzes the results of the sampling, allowing us to calculate soil organic carbon and bulk density.
