Today, we're excited to launch Soil Ecosystem Maps — an interactive tool for exploring critical data on the health of soil ecosystems around the world. Soil Ecosystem Maps provides high-resolution visualizations of first-of-its-kind data on soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential, SOC measurements, and four novel soil health indicators. Without requiring soil sampling or farmer inputs, this data enables sustainability teams, carbon project developers, conservation organizations, and stakeholders across the agricultural value chain to: • Compare land based on its long-term potential for carbon sequestration • Get baseline estimates for soil organic carbon • Uncover the microbial and biophysical factors influencing soil ecosystem and carbon dynamics • Assess both the risk and potential impact for different opportunities 👉 📃 Learn more about Soil Ecosystem Maps and what sets our data apart in this press release: https://lnkd.in/eA38yXGA 👉 🗺️ Or, jump in and begin exploring insights directly on the map: https://lnkd.in/eQnjzM8P

Going to Regen Ag Summit or NACW next week? Let’s connect! Jack Roswell, CEO & Co-Founder, will be in Chicago for the Regenerative Agriculture Summit. Juan Diego Carluccio, VP of Commercial, is managing to attend both(!)—catch him in Los Angeles for North American Carbon World on Monday and Tuesday or in Chicago for Regen Ag Summit on Wednesday and Thursday. Perennial provides end-to-end MRV for any crop, any program, anywhere. We’re excited to connect with teams advancing regenerative agriculture — and to share how our MRV solutions help make carbon and Scope 3 programs more scalable, cost-effective, and impactful. Looking forward to great conversations — if you’d like to set up a time to meet, send us a message. #RegenAgSummit #NACW2025 Climate Action Reserve

"Supporting global food security and advancing regenerative agriculture requires scalable, global data that covers the full spectrum of soil ecosystems, including physical, biological, and chemical factors." We’re proud to help meet this need with Soil Ecosystem Maps — "providing stakeholders worldwide with access to crucial information about SOC sequestration potential, SOC levels, and emerging microbial health indicators, such as Carbon Use Efficiency and the Microbial Soil Temperature Index." Thanks to Violet George and Carbon Herald for covering our launch! Read more 👇

Our team—Jack Roswell, David Schurman, Daniela Moody, Ph.D., and Juan Diego Carluccio—had a fantastic time at World Agri-Tech in San Fran last week! On Wednesday, Jack participated in the “Regen Ag and Natural Capital: Derisking and Monetizing Ecosystem Services” panel, moderated by Carrie Vollmer-Sanders, MBA of Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture. The discussion explored how companies are de-risking and scaling ecosystem services, highlighting strategies for farmer adoption, long-term ROI, and the role of technology in making regenerative agriculture more viable. In the video below, you can catch a quick clip of Jack explaining how Perennial’s MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) solutions help scale regenerative practices across diverse regions and crop types. Huge thanks to the organizers for bringing together such a great group of people. We're already looking forward to the next one!

Thanks to Google for featuring Perennial! David Schurman dives into everything from our origin story—how analyzing Martian soil led to a breakthrough in measuring soil carbon here on Earth—to the tech that powers our work today. With Google Earth Engine, Google Cloud, and BigQuery, we’ve scaled global soil carbon and soil health measurements, giving companies the data they need to drive real climate action and support regenerative agriculture with confidence.

Have you explored Soil Ecosystem Maps yet? Perennial co-founder and CPO, David Schurman, gives a tour and talks through the different data products in this short video.

Catch Perennial at World Agritech next week! Perennial provides end to end measurement & verification (MRV) for agriculture programs anywhere -- on any crop in any geo.

The Perennial team is heading to World Agri-Tech San Francisco, March 11-12! Attending the event? Be sure to say hello to Jack Roswell, David Schurman, Daniela Moody, Ph.D., and Juan Diego Carluccio. And catch Jack on the panel, "Regen Ag and Natural Capital: Derisking and Monetizing Ecosystem Services," Wednesday, March 12th at 2:30PM. We’re excited to connect with teams advancing regenerative agriculture—and to share how Perennial’s MRV solutions make sustainability and carbon projects more scalable, cost-effective, and impactful. Looking forward to great conversations—see you there! 👋

When people hear "digital soil mapping," they sometimes assume what we do is entirely digital — no soil sampling or ground truthing needed. Not true. Soil samples still play an important role — we just need far fewer of them. Digital soil mapping enables us to provide measurements with 95%+ accuracy while using up to 10x fewer samples. Perennial Co-founder and CPO, David Schurman, breaks it down in this video.

What a difference a year makes! At the December '23 AGU meeting, our team published a poster introducing SOCSPOT — a model named for soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential. SOCSPOT enables you to see the relative potential for durable long-term carbon sequestration, leveraging understanding of how microbial communities adapt and respond to both contemporary and historical weather, vegetation, and soil conditions across croplands and grazing lands. At that point, Perennial’s SOC Sequestration Potential data was limited to US rangelands. Today, it has global coverage. Commercial partners have used it to evaluate and compare land, identifying where regenerative interventions can yield the highest impact and returns. And soon*, we’ll be sharing this data in a way that anyone can engage with. Thanks to everyone on our team who worked to create and scale SOCSPOT — and especially to the two leads on it: Senior Agroecosystem Scientist Dr. Mitchell Donovan (pictured here, with the freshly-published poster at the American Geophysical Union meeting!) and Staff Geospatial Data Scientist Rose Rustowicz -- *SOC Sequestration Potential is just one of the soil ecosystem data sets we’re gearing up to launch.
