How TerraValue Works

From farm data inputs to modular model layers to decision-ready ecosystem value — a complete workflow for agricultural natural capital intelligence.

Workflow

Three-stage pipeline

Data In. Model Layers. Value Out.

1

Farm Data Inputs

  • Soil samples & organic matter
  • Weather & climate data
  • Management practices & history
  • Crop system & rotation details
  • Landscape & hydrologic context
2

Model Layers

  • Carbon Module
  • Water Quality Module
  • Water Quantity Module
  • Biodiversity Module
  • Yield Module
  • Economic / ROI Module
3

Value Outputs

  • Ecosystem performance scores
  • Estimated value ($/acre)
  • Scenario comparison
  • ROI insights & payback
  • Credit & payment pathways

Operating context

The workflow is designed around field decisions, assets, and farm operations.

Operations

Practice changes need proof.

The product is built to translate visible management decisions into measurable carbon, water, resilience, and value outcomes.

Infrastructure

Farm systems are operational systems.

Natural capital intelligence has to fit the logistics, assets, and financial reality of working farms, not abstract models alone.

Long Horizon

Better decisions compound over time.

The platform is designed to help producers compare scenarios now while building a longer-term picture of land health and economic leverage.

Model Layers

Transparent, modular scoring

Each module is designed to be replaced with validated scientific models.

Soil Carbon Module

Models how management practices affect soil organic carbon stocks using RothC-inspired decomposition dynamics, IPCC Tier 2 stock change factors, and climate-soil interactions. Predicts sequestration rates and carbon credit revenue potential.

Key Inputs

  • Tillage type & intensity
  • Cover crop strategy
  • Soil organic matter %
  • Crop rotation diversity
  • Climate zone & temperature

Outputs

  • Carbon stock direction (t C/ha)
  • Sequestration rate (tCO2e/ha/yr)
  • Carbon credit value (USD/ha/yr)
  • Climate mitigation score
