ALEXANDRIA, Va.– Agrology, a leading Predictive Agriculture company, today launched the Arbiter Carbon Monitoring System, the only system that continuously monitors and quantifies soil carbon flux for farmers. The Agrology Arbiter System helps growers track and quantify soil carbon, delivering carbon flux data and soil health data to growers on their mobile and desktop devices. With Arbiter, growers receive critical alerts for anomalies and complex challenges like soil carbon flux and soil microbiome health, the pinnacles of regenerative farming.
“The future of climate-smart farming is here,” says Adam Koeppel, Co-Founder and CEO of Agrology. “Sequestering, storing, and keeping carbon in the soil is the best way to rapidly and affordably remove atmospheric carbon. Agrology is helping farmers do just that. For the first time growers can comprehensively monitor carbon projects, own their carbon data, and use this data to offset their carbon footprints or earn money with carbon credits.”
Leading organic grower Braga Fresh announced this morning that they use the Agrology Arbiter System to track and quantify soil carbon in real time. Braga Fresh installed Arbiter in July 2022 as part of a regenerative trial program. Leading wineries Silver Oak and Emeritus Vineyards are also trialing the Arbiter system.
“Agrology’s Arbiter Carbon Monitoring System is the best tool we’ve seen to date to help us evaluate our regenerative trials,” says Eric Moran, Braga Fresh vice president of environmental science and resources.
The Agrology Arbiter Carbon Monitoring System:
- Monitors soil carbon flux, soil carbon changes, soil carbon respiration, soil carbon sequestration, and soil conditions.
- Continuously tracks soil carbon sequestration by evaluating soil carbon flux and then delivers that data to growers in real time.
- Gathers the highest quality carbon data from an entire project geography, enabling growers to know what is happening ecosystem-wide.
- Characterizes soil composition changes including soil carbon flux, soil moisture release curves, and soil fertility/salinity. This helps growers understand soil health and carbon content. (As soil carbon increases, soil water and soil nutrient availability improve).
- Alerts growers of significant soil or atmospheric events that impact carbon levels so they can adjust regenerative practices accordingly.
With Arbiter, growers continuously track what’s happening ecosystem-wide. Agrology Arbiter devices gather comprehensive data below and above the ground, and track soil conditions and atmospheric gasses. Once data is gathered, Agrology’s machine learning models synthesize data to monitor complex challenges like soil carbon flux and soil microbiome health. Growers own their data and can pull it anytime from their individually encrypted storage using Agrology’s grower portal and data APIs.
Pricing
The Agrology Arbiter Carbon Monitoring System is now available as a monthly subscription service. Starting around $600 per month, Agrology installs and maintains the Arbiter System including all hardware, hardware replacements, software, and the Agrology mobile app. In addition, customers own their data.
