Digital MRV Revolutionizes Agroforestry with Reliable Carbon Data
A new digital platform, Digital MRV, is transforming agroforestry by providing reliable data and verification, enabling farmers and cooperatives to access carbon credit markets and meet regulations like the EUDR with confidence. This platform solves challenges in proving carbon sequestration due to fragmented records and lack of credible evidence.
Digital MRV uses satellite imagery, geotagged field data, and AI-driven analytics to track tree growth, biomass, and soil carbon levels over time. It establishes a verifiable baseline, monitors changes in canopy and soil health, and generates audit-ready reports aligned with global standards. This process, powered by platforms like ours, covers baselining, sapling distribution, planting, monitoring, verification, reporting, and impact.
The platform's origin traces back to the CAD Trust prototype and testing phase, carried out by the World Bank as part of the Climate Warehouse initiative. It uses blockchain technology to create an immutable and verifiable record of carbon market data. Since its three-year testing phase, the underlying Chia Network blockchain technology has evolved.
Digital MRV transforms agroforestry from good intentions into measurable, market-ready results. It provides the proof that buyers, carbon registries, and regulators demand, making claims of carbon sequestration in agroforestry recognizable and valuable in carbon markets.
