MERELY MEASURING SOMETHING HAS AN UNCANNY TENDENCY TO IMPROVE IT. P. Grahman The loss in agriculture due to poor soil health amounts to over $300 billion (source: UNCCD, 2019). This is due to poor soil management owing to a lack of useful and usable soil data that can be used together with precision farming tools. Around 3.2 billion people worldwide suffer from damaged soils. Only 3% of the earth's surface is suitable for arable industry, and 75 billion tons of fertile soil are lost each year due to land degradation. Globalization and global environmental issues necessitate the collection and interpretation of global, scalable and accurate soil information. SmartCloudFarming is doing it! We develop a regenerative agriculture indicator based on soil organic carbon and carbon stock remote assessment. The indicator uses satellite images as input and advanced AI, therefore it is available anywhere and anytime. Main characteristics: 1). Assessment of SOC at 0-30cm soil deep; 2). Currently one measurement every 30 meters, in development every 10 meters; 3). Model build and validated with ground truth data based on the ISO 10694:1995 protocol (Automated Dry Combustion). 4). Fast: 2ha process per sec (7200ha/hour). We deliver this value both with a Plug'n'Play setting (regular maps and data tables, data backbone with API) as well as with customised applications (learning system and alert system).
