  • Patent number: 11861625
    Abstract: A method for monitoring regenerative management practices in agricultural parcels includes: determining a regenerative carbon footprint value for a parcel that comprises a difference of a regenerative carbon footprint and a baseline carbon footprint, where the baseline carbon footprint is derived by calculating greenhouse gas emissions based on simulating crop growth under current management practices and the regenerative carbon footprint is derived by calculating greenhouse gas emissions based on simulating crop growth under one or more regenerative management practices; for key dates corresponding to implementation and maintenance of each of the one or more regenerative management practices, processing and evaluating remotely sensed images against corresponding crop curves to determine compliance/noncompliance indicators that correspond each of the key dates; and storing the compliance/noncompliance indicators within a parcel database, where the compliance/noncompliance indicators are employed at a final da

  • Patent number: 11823296
    Abstract: A method for agricultural land parcel valuation includes: accessing data for parcels within a prescribed region, the data comprising management practices, historical weather conditions, locations and topography, remote sense images, soil types, and crop types; assessing and ranking the management practices for each of the parcels; generating simulation inputs for the each of the parcels, where the simulation inputs comprise highest ranked management practices, the historical weather conditions, the locations and topography, the soil types, and the crop types; simulating crop growth for the each of the parcels over a prescribed number of previous years, where the simulating employs the simulation inputs provided by the generating; and employing selected outputs from the simulating to calculate agricultural metrics and a valuation corresponding to the each of the parcels, where the agricultural metrics include a productivity metric.

  • Patent number: 11775906
    Abstract: A method for verifying regenerative management practices in agricultural parcels includes: determining a regenerative carbon footprint value for a parcel that comprises a difference of a regenerative carbon footprint and a baseline carbon footprint, where the baseline carbon footprint is derived by calculating greenhouse gas emissions based on simulating crops under current management practices, and where the regenerative carbon footprint is derived by calculating greenhouse gas emissions based on simulating crops under regenerative management practices corresponding to a plan proposed by a grower; approving and publishing carbon credits according to the plan; for key dates corresponding to each of the regenerative management practices, processing remotely sensed images against corresponding crop curves to determine compliance/noncompliance indicators corresponding to the key dates; and storing the compliance/noncompliance indicators database, and determining at a verification date compliance with the plan.
