Agoro Carbon's Science & Data Teams
High Quality, Science-Based Carbon Credits
Science & Data: Credits Rooted in Quality
Science Team
Agoro Carbon’s scientists work to ensure that soil-carbon quantification and calculations are scientifically robust, accurate, and measurable. They work with best-in-class soil-sampling design methods, sample analysis, and modeling procedures to ensure we measure and generate the highest-quality carbon credits. Our expert team reviews scientific literature regarding soil carbon sequestration, greenhouse gas emissions, and how these are affected by ag practices to best sequester soil organic carbon.
Data Team
Accurate and transparent data supporting carbon credit claims is vital to the health and long-term viability of the ag carbon industry.
Agoro Carbon’s Data Team comprises three unique but intricately tied professionals who work together to understand the impact of newly adopted regenerative agriculture practices on soil organic carbon (SOC) levels. The stratification group is responsible for using scientifically proven tools and datasets to understand the specific characteristics of the land enrolled program and help determine the number of and specific placement of locations for soil samples to be collected in order to fully and accurately represent the SOC levels of growers’ soils.
The soil sampling group then takes this information. It is tasked with the logistical operations surrounding the collection and analysis of these soil samples in order to determine SOC levels during different phases of the project. This collected data and the specific management data of each enrolled grower are then used by the modeling group, in conjunction with research findings from around the country and the world, to determine the full impact of carbon practices on current and future SOC levels on a grower-by-grower basis.
Agoro Carbon's science and data teams deliver sound methodology and
calculations for soil carbon quantification to ensure they are
scientifically robust, accurate and with minimal uncertainty.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Our scientists come from several fields, including data science, ecology, agronomy, soil science, geospatial analysis, agricultural engineering, and modeling – with many decades of experience. Our scientists and agronomists have worked in research, production, and technical roles across the United States and globally. This team ensures the quantification and calculations are scientifically robust.
The Science team helps to ensure that the practices Agoro Carbon offers are supported by scientific literature to sequester carbon or mitigate greenhouse gases. We accurately measure, quantify and report tradeable carbon – ensuring our claims are accurate, transparent and traceable.
We’re constantly evaluating new practices including: integrated crop-livestock systems, grazing crop residue and cover crops, feed additives for reducing enteric methane production in cattle and orchard systems.
Our science team is excited to explore the concept of insetting, and how we can help advise farmers on their whole carbon footprint. How can we bring in the folks who have already adopted some of these practices,i.e. legacy farmers and ranchers. Focusing on practices that generate high value carbon credits, ensure a safe food supply, and diversify income for producers. Having a better understanding of the rate of carbon accrual across a number of different practices on a large scale.
