Acquires Soil Metrics, industry-leading technology for comprehensive soil carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment
Indigo Agriculture, a company leveraging nature and technology to unlock economic and environmental progress in agriculture, has announced a deepened commitment to advancing discovery in soil carbon science, enabled by the acquisition of Soil Metrics — an industry-leading technology for comprehensive soil carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment in agricultural soils.
The strategic investment reaffirms Indigo’s commitment to the rigorous scientific process underlying soil environment measurement and will further enhance and scale the premier carbon measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) system powering its industry-leading carbon farming programme to maximise profitability and sustainability benefits for growers.
The companies have already been working together to meet the high scientific standards set by the registry-approved soil carbon methodologies in use by the Carbon by Indigo program. Indigo’s digital and technological capabilities, along with its diverse network of ag partners, will help scale and enhance Soil Metrics’ biogeochemical modelling. In turn, Soil Metrics will be able to leverage Indigo’s resources to improve and expand upon its soil carbon modelling capabilities while continuing to deliver services to its existing and future customer base.
In collaboration with farmers across the US, Indigo researchers are also now in their third year of the Soil Carbon Experiment, a long-term soil study that includes a combination of observational and interventional field-scale research sites that span 12 states and over 130 fields.
