Farm to Certificate

Your supply chain's
living proof
of regeneration

Verdant connects sourcing teams to verified farm-level regenerative data — cover cropping, soil carbon, biodiversity — and turns it into auditable Scope 3 certificates your investors can scrutinise.

Where your ingredients begin is the only place your claims can end

Verdant builds genuine provenance from the ground up — named farms, verified practices, real sequestration numbers. Not estimates from a model. Evidence from the soil.

01

Farm-level data that stands up to investor scrutiny

Every farm in your Verdant network submits soil carbon measurements, tillage records, and biodiversity survey data each season. We cross-validate each submission against satellite normalized difference vegetation index readings and third-party on-site sampling before any number appears in your Scope 3 inventory.

Practice records that connect what farmers do to what you claim

Cover cropping schedules. No-till adoption years. Compost application rates. Biodiversity corridor percentages. Verdant captures the actual agronomic practices driving soil health and ties each one to the causal mechanism in our sequestration model — so your carbon claims are grounded in real agronomic cause and effect.

A supply chain map that procurement teams can actually use

Verdant connects every ingredient in your procurement portfolio to a named farm source, then maps the practice and sequestration data to your Scope 3 Category 1 inventory automatically. When your CSRD or CDP submission is due, the data is already structured, validated, and export-ready.

Verification Engine

Institutional-grade verification that procurement teams and ESG auditors trust

Our sequestration engine doesn't produce aspirational estimates. It produces conservative, defensible numbers with a complete audit trail — the kind a short-seller or regulatory examiner can't pick apart.

  • 01
    Conservative by design. Not ambitious.
    We use the lower 80th percentile confidence interval on all sequestration models. If a farm sequesters between 240t and 310t, we certify 240t. We'd rather under-report and be right than over-promise and be exposed.
  • 02
    Immutable audit trail on every certificate
    Each certificate carries a cryptographic hash of the underlying data package — soil samples, satellite readings, practice records, and audit notes — anchored to a public blockchain. A regulator or investor can verify the inputs haven't changed.
  • 03
    Third-party independent review annually
    Every farm cohort is audited annually by one of four accredited third-party verification bodies. Their findings are appended to your certificate record and disclosed in your ESG framework exports.

Carbon Certificates

A certificate your CFO, ESG auditor, and short-seller can all interrogate

Every Verdant certificate is a structured data package — not a PDF. It carries the complete chain of evidence from farm practice to sequestration quantity to issuing methodology, all linked to an immutable hash. Your disclosures become self-defending.

We'd made regenerative sourcing claims for two years. Verdant was the first tool that actually let us show the work — soil data, audit trail, the lot. Our investors stopped asking follow-up questions.

Case Study

From assertion
to evidence

Clearfield Foods had committed to 100% regeneratively sourced grain ingredients by 2026. The procurement team had farmer relationships. The sustainability team had goals. What they lacked was anything their auditors could look at.

They enrolled 47 grain farms into Verdant over six months. Practice verification ran alongside their existing supplier onboarding. By the end of year one, their CDP submission included farm-named, IPCC-aligned sequestration data for every wheat and oat ingredient in the portfolio.
