ECOM, a global soft commodity giant, has taken the front seat in championing regenerative agriculture. Partnering with Costa Rica coffee farmers, the group adopts innovative tools to ensure sustainable farming. One standout tool is the BeCrop® Rate by Biome Makers.
This metric employs advanced AI and a massive microorganism database to gauge the health of the soil. Its aim is to check the positive effects of sustainable practices like shade farming, organic amendments, and biostimulants.
Biome Makers' Alberto Acedo emphasizes the need for a consistent, scientifically backed metric to track soil health. He believes that BeCrop Rate can help farmers assess their practices and promote transparent, sustainable food production.
Using BeCrop® Rate, ECOM evaluated 100 coffee farms in Costa Rica. This assessment gave these farms an idea of the effectiveness of their current practices. But that's not all. The tool also offers a Certification, digital access to key assessment metrics, and marketing support.
DISAGRO®, ECOM's agronomic solution provider, recommended the BeCrop® Rate. They believe it's the future of farming, combining soil health insights with potential cost-saving benefits.
This partnership has set a gold standard in the agriculture sector. Their combined expertise promotes sustainable goals and encourages other farmers to adopt regenerative practices.
