Agreement aims to enhance
farmer experience with
CarbonNOW® regenerative agriculture incentive
program
MINNEAPOLIS, July 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CIBO Technologies, the climate
software company for agriculture, and Anew Climate, LLC, a
global leader of diverse climate solutions, announced today an
agreement that provides growers participating in the Locus
Agriculture (Locus AG) CarbonNOW® program access to CIBO Impact, an
award-winning, science-based platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, farmers participating in the
CarbonNOW program can now easily monitor the progress of their
soil carbon results. Offering growers an automated, transparent,
and efficient program enrollment, soil sampling planning, and
reporting experience, the CIBO Impact platform also uses
the Control Plot Manager feature to identify scientifically
valid control plots and sampling plans used to quantify carbon
credits at scale. CarbonNOW is the first U.S. carbon farming
program to use biologicals as an approved practice change for
carbon program participation.
"CIBO Impact offers us the technology to manage massive amounts
of data effectively and continues to provide significant benefits,
ranging from ease of managing soil sampling to automated control
plot designs. Ensuring a positive and easy grower experience is
paramount to the success of the program and working with strong
partners like Anew and CIBO ensures we deliver tangible impact to
program stakeholders and the climate," said Jackie Boden, CarbonNOW Program Manager at
Locus AG.
"Anew has a demonstrated track record of developing and
monetizing meaningful carbon reduction in North America," said Scott O'Neill, Senior Vice President of
Implementation at Anew. "High-quality carbon credits depend on data
integrity. CIBO's platform streamlines complex data management
processes, enabling us to more effectively monitor the impact of
the Locus Ag program and quantify the climate benefits achieved
from soil carbon to credit."
"Our partnership agreement with Anew benefits hundreds of
thousands of acres enrolled in the CarbonNOW program to generate
carbon offsets and strengthen land resilience, and we're on pace to
exceed well over a million acres of farmlands across the U.S. in
the program," said Daniel Ryan,
President and CEO of CIBO Technologies.
