❤ DESCRIPTION:
Regrow is a technology company that uses remote sensing and soil biogeochemistry modeling to help farmers make datadriven decisions about regenerative agriculture practices. Their Sustainability Insights product provides farmers with tools to track their progress and quantify the impact of their practices, while their MRV platform enables companies to measure, report, and verify the environmental benefits of their supply chains to reduce GHG emissions in their agricultural supply chains by providing key baseline data, monitoring resilient agricultural practices, and quantifying soil carbon gains and reduced emissions. One of their core products, Sustainability Insights, provides data on key commodities in their sourcing regions by:
1) delineating field boundaries
2) mapping crop production annually
3) classifying the practices used on each field and
4) modeling how these practices change SOC levels over time.

In this session, Regrow discusses how they generate field level crop and management practice histories for the US, Europe, and Brazil by capitalizing on the power of Google Earth Engine to drive their machine learning models. They demo how field level data is translated to actionableinsights through onthefly aggregation of user defined supplysheds to drive sustainable sourcing decisions and enable emissions reporting workflows.
