ESMC is conducting pilot tests leading up to the targeted 2022 market launch. Working with our extensive network of partners and collaborators, we are testing and refining our integrated ecosystem services credit protocol and other new technologies for every major farm commodity across the nation. We will quantify environmental assets generated by participating producers and arrange the sale of credits or assets through the ESMC market. Farmers and ranchers will be recognized and rewarded for their documented impacts to soil carbon, net greenhouse gases, water quality, and water use conservation. 

Currently, ESMC is only launching projects within specific regions and production systems where program buildout has been completed. ESMC’s map continues to expand as ESMC adds more regions and production systems.
