Regenerative Farm Marketplace
Marketplace and verification platform connecting regenerative farms with buyers (brands, restaurants) needing audited Scope 3 emissions reductions and biodiversity data; uses satellite imagery, soil sensors, and AI models for low-cost MRV (measurement, reporting, verification); targets mid-market food companies facing 2025 SEC and EU CSRD climate disclosure rules; now viable due to maturing carbon markets and cheaper remote sensing; differentiator is bundled premium pricing for verified regenerative commodities plus direct buyer-farmer contracting tools.
