That\u2019s why ESMC places so much importance on Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) technologies.<\/p>\n
EMSC develops tools and technologies to permit long-term monitoring and verification of regenerative agriculture. In particular, ESMC is working with Dagan on the development and expansion of their OpTIS platform, a satellite system that tracks conservation tillage- and cover crop deployment.<\/p>\n
ESMC is developing a secure platform to cost-effectively collect, store, and manage data to support the marketplace. We will use the latest in geospatial technology to produce a land ledger that tracks ecosystem service outcomes across the landscape.<\/p>\n
ESMRC\u2019s Working Groups are also refining ESMC\u2019s data collection practices so that farmers and ranchers can report their progress easily and securely. Soon we will have a process that is as private and secure as it is profitable.<\/p>\n
Better remote sensing tools and technologies will improve quantification and verification processes for credit buyers as well as farmers and ranchers. Ongoing pilot projects and ground-truthing components will generate confidence in the value of ecosystem service assets while demonstrating increased value to farmer and rancher participants.<\/p>\n
