Through a data-first approach, Trimble offers
a carbon marketplace to bridge the gap between farmers, agronomists
and businesses to track and leverage sustainable farming
practices
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Jan. 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today the
Connected Climate Exchange, a carbon marketplace to connect and
aggregate verified data across the agriculture supply chain to
enable a more sustainable future. To meet net zero commitments,
Trimble offers new opportunities for industry stakeholders to
quantify their sustainability efforts, scale their businesses with
climate offerings and ultimately minimize the negative effects of
climate change.
Trimble's Connected Climate Exchange creates a streamlined
process for aggregating data across farm organizations and
verifying this data for emissions reductions and removals buyers.
By connecting an ecosystem of farmers, agronomists, ag retailers
and carbon buyers in one marketplace, the Connected Climate
Exchange enables participation in carbon markets and sustainability
programs that were previously too time-consuming and complex.
"Farmers have long struggled to comprehensively report and tell
their sustainability story in quantifiable and verifiable terms.
They need a technology solution that brings greater value and helps
bring structure to disconnected data," said Darren Howie, director, emerging digital and
sustainability, Trimble. "As a trusted partner in the agriculture
industry, Trimble is taking a farm-centric approach. While many
carbon programs work by identifying a specific practice to
implement and search for farms, Trimble is partnering with
agronomy-focused, enterprise agriculture companies to optimize
interventions at the farm level, then aggregate the impacts to
support emission reduction programs for companies upstream in the
agriculture value chain."
A Farmer-First Solution
As a key participant in the
carbon market since 2007, Trimble offers high-quality, in-field
data in a platform solution that allows smooth data integrations.
Over the past 17 years, Trimble has sold over 4.5 million tonnes of
agricultural carbon offsets in Canada, generating over $50 million for farmers. For more than 40 years,
Trimble has worked shoulder-to-shoulder with farmers and farm
service providers to develop innovative agriculture solutions that
drive productivity, efficiency, profitability and sustainability.
Through this work, Trimble is now able to help stakeholders across
the agriculture value chain get closer to a net zero
future.
The Trimble Connected Climate Exchange works seamlessly with
Trimble Ag Software and other third-party farm management tools
to:
- Centrally manage sustainability projects and customers
- Perform calculations to report on carbon emissions, reductions
and removals
- Provide reporting and visualization to sustainability
impacts
- Calculate payments where applicable
- Generate cross-sector supply chain insights
"One key roadblock to other carbon programs has been data
aggregation. Trimble has been on the farm and collecting data for
decades," said Dietmar Grimm, vice
president, corporate strategy and sustainability, Trimble. "Through
its data aggregation capabilities, the Connected Climate Exchange
is able to deliver quantifiable and verifiable reports, validated
by independent third-party MMRV (measure, monitor, report and
verify) providers. This documentation is subject to annual
third-party audits that track carbon emissions reductions and
removals within the agriculture supply shed at scale."
