Credible. Evidenced. Valued.

Soil quality, food security and climate change are inextricably linked. Healthy soils improve agricultural performance, capture and store carbon and generate tradeable credits.

A future-proofed ecosystem

It is for this reason that ecometric has brough together the very best tools available to create a new ecosystem that uses physical samples, spatial satellite data and calibrated AI assessment to cross check at every point, and to embed accuracy and quality at its heart. 

  • The accuracy of physical and virtual: Highest Quality Data

    With physical samples to establish baseline, AI learning and assessment, and repeat sampling to ensure ever more accurate calibration, ecometric enables large scale surveying, with improved accuracy and at reduced cost.

    This is how ecometric delivers 90% plus accuracy at many times the resolution of any other system.

  • The danger of modelling versus measuring: Amplification of error

    As has been seen with the recent pandemic there are real and significant margins of error in modelling, due to the inconsistent quality of inputs, the assessment of impacts and the amplification of statistical error over time. We can and should be measuring actual carbon stock change to secure credits.

    This is why ecometric’s ecosystem is built on historic trends and current data, measured real time.

  • The value of satellite and AI: High density mapping

    Physical sampling is time consuming and costly to do at a density that takes account of the often significant in-field and between field spatial variation. ecometric’s system delivers equivalent sampling density of 100 points per hectare when typical physical sampling is only affordable at one sample per hectare.

    This is why ecometric’s whole farm assessments, calibrated on the physical, calculated in the virtual, are so accurate and its field mapping so valuable.

  • The return on AI learning: Understanding your soil, in advance

    Unlike a ‘physical only’ regime reliant on testing of a fixed location at a fixed point in time, ecometric’s AI system is learning soil types and behaviours. This means that with every new soil type tested it becomes faster, more accurate and requires less baseline inputs.

    This is why ecometric is able to deliver large geography audits quickly and cost effectively.

  • The importance of best practice: Commitment to continuous improvement

    Ecometric’s commitment to working in partnership is central to our business. This is manifest in our commitment to delivering the best processes and to continuously refine and improve our ecosystem as new technologies come online – from soil sampling to spectral analysis. All methodology is subject to external peer review to ensure 3rd party scientific scrutiny.

    This is why ecometric is your long-term partner.
