Demonstrating Carbon Storage in Agricultural Forestry through Digital Monitoring and Verification
The Digital Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (DMRV) Platform is transforming the agroforestry landscape by leveraging digital technologies to improve monitoring, management, and sustainability.
At its core, the platform geotags every farm and plot with GPS coordinates, digitally records farmer profiles, land ownership, and soil health. This creates a clear, auditable baseline for carbon tracking and compliance.
The DMRV Platform uses satellite imagery and AI to track canopy development and tree survival rates, integrates soil and biomass data, and creates immutable records with geo-tagged photos and time stamps for each stage. Allometric equations are employed to estimate above-ground biomass and carbon dioxide stocks in trees, providing accurate assessments of carbon sequestration potential.
Remote sensing technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are utilised to estimate the extent and distribution of tree cover in agroforestry systems, offering valuable data for calculating carbon dioxide stocks at landscape or regional scales.
By capturing plot level data, tracking growth over time, and creating immutable audit trails, the platform provides the proof that buyers, carbon registries, and regulators demand. The data is stored securely, forming a tamper-proof digital audit trail that meets the rigorous requirements of carbon registries and sustainability standards.
The platform digitizes inventory management, logs handovers with time-stamped receipts and photos, and captures planting events with geotagged images and digital signatures. It generates auto-generated sustainability reports in formats accepted by EUDR, Verra, or Gold Standard, and exports data for buyer ESG reporting or grant applications.
The DMRV Platform enables every stage of an agroforestry project to be measurable, auditable, and impactful, from baselining to reporting. Soil sampling and laboratory analysis can provide insights into the carbon dioxide content at different soil depths, further enhancing understanding of the overall carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry systems.
With platforms like the DMRV Platform, farmers and cooperatives can confidently demonstrate carbon sequestration, unlock carbon credits, and meet global standards. This ensures their sustainability efforts translate into real impact and revenue opportunities, making agroforestry systems a promising solution in the fight against climate change.
