HabiTerre

Core Features

HabiTerre’s quantification engine combines satellite/remote-sensing data with process-based models (including a scalable implementation of the ecosys ecosystem model) and AI. This “system-of-systems” simulates energy, water, carbon, and nutrient cycles above and below ground to estimate net field-level GHG outcomes. Third-party validation and program deployments demonstrate methodological rigor and applicability at national scale. Key features of HabiTerre include:

• Scope 3 GHG & SOC MMRV: End-to-end measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification for supply chains, with credit-quality calculations where relevant.

• Field-Level Actionable Insights: Diagnostics and scenario modeling to test practice changes and forecast environmental and productivity impacts.

• Farmland History Reconstruction: Historical land-use and management context to improve baselining and additionality assessments.

• Early In-Season Yield Signals: Predictive crop indicators to align agronomy and sustainability objectives during the season.

• Validated Modeling Stack: Scalable ecosys implementation and third-party validation (Climate Action Reserve) for model credibility.

• Partner Data Integrations: Major collaborations to fuse in-field sensing with carbon models and cut MRV costs.

Closing Insights

A spin-out of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, HabiTerre’s methods are being adopted by programs that require credible, scalable accounting. The Ecosystem Services Market Consortium (ESMC) evaluated HabiTerre’s approach in 2023 and, following strong results, selected it to provide modeling for all U.S. Eco-Harvest project data—covering net field-level GHG outcomes including SOC change, nitrous oxide, and methane. This demonstrates suitability for producer-focused market programs that need consistent quantification across geographies and practices.

HabiTerre has also collaborated with Arable and Quanterra Systems in a Shell-supported effort to pair in-field sensing with HabiTerre’s carbon models, targeting accurate estimation and verification at a fraction of the cost of traditional MRV approaches—important for corporate Scope 3 at scale. Independent model validation with the Climate Action Reserve adds assurance for environmental market use cases, while an initial $10 million Series A is funding further scale-up of the modeling stack and productization.

Organizations may consider HabiTerre if they need field-resolved, auditable metrics that connect agronomic performance with environmental outcomes, enabling both supply-chain reporting and on-farm decision support within a single, science-backed system.
