Creating a Market for Regenerative Agriculture with Christopher Gergen, CEO of the Regenerative Organic Alliance

Event Type: Webinar

Date: 8/1/2025

Regenerative Organic Certification isn’t just checking a box—it’s transparently proving an authentic commitment to ecosystem, soil, and human health, as well as gathering the necessary data to do so. Part of the goal of every grower pursuing this work is differentiation: higher integrity and higher quality products to market at higher value. The difficulty is that food and beverage are still largely commoditized (even more so in fresh produce), consumers and retailers do not fully understand “regenerative” and pricing premiums for regenerative products are not yet ubiquitous.  

Many growers can’t stomach the risk without the reward, nor can they build a consumer-facing brand on their own. How do we build a market for regenerative agriculture and products, make it accessible (and affordable) for all growers, while maintaining the integrity, value and premium for regenerative growers? 

Join Christopher Gergen, CEO of the Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA), and Charlie Dubbe of Agrology for a conversation focused on how regenerative organic certification can work for growers and how we collectively can build a marketplace for regenerative goods. We’ll explore the standards and practices behind the label, and more importantly, the results they drive—like increased crop quality, improved ecosystem function, market-place differentiation and improved long-term profitability. Learn how growers are restoring their land by leaning into regenerative principles rooted in both science and tradition, how they are measuring the impacts to improve their bottom lines, and how the ROA is amplifying their stories and working to build markets for their regeneratively grown crops. If you're looking to future-proof your farm, grow healthier crops, and stand out in a competitive marketplace, this webinar is for you.

Carbon Credits in High-Value Crops

Event Type: Webinar

Date: 3/6/2025

How growers can use environmental assets and carbon programs to de-risk and fund regenerative transitions

In our work with regenerative growers, primarily in high-value crops, we’ve found that very few are participating in carbon programs. Our customers typically pursue regenerative agriculture for a more-profitable and sustainable means of production. Carbon sequestration and revenue is not the primary reason to pursue regenerative agriculture, but there is no doubt that regenerative farmers take significant amounts of carbon out of the atmosphere and put it into their soils and ecosystems. While the carbon spotlight in the US has primarily focused on grains and broad-acre agriculture, there are great opportunities for specialty growers to participate and excel in carbon farming.  

Working with our partners Carbon Friendly, we’ve confirmed that carbon programs can offer specialty growers a viable means to fund and de-risk their regenerative transitions and to differentiate themselves in their supply chains. That said, a lack of focus and industry attention has left specialty growers with more questions than answers: not all carbon programs are created equal, and not all “carbon farming” practices fit into intensive, specialty production systems.  

Join us for an in-depth discussion on carbon markets, how and why specialty growers should be building healthy soils on their farms, and how they can participate in carbon programs to maximize their ROI and fund their regenerative transitions.

Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) Measurement for Climate-Smart Agriculture

Date: 2/13/2025

In agricultural systems, carbon is like currency. It's used in all biologic processes, transformed into different compounds, then stored and spent, but rarely static. When growers and land managers are able to measure carbon flows and soil carbon stocks in real time, they get a more complete picture of ecosystem health and agricultural performance.

Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) data is key. It can help growers understand the productivity and growth of soil-building systems, observe carbon-cycle dynamics, and tie practices to real world impact.

On our next webinar, Agrology Co-Founders, Adam Koeppel and Kevin Kelly, will walk you through our new NEE Measurement System, discussing how Agrology now delivers real-time insights into carbon flows and carbon-cycle dynamics. 

Join us and learn:

  • How to better-understand carbon accrual and soil microbial activity (a key factor in the humification of carbon ie: long term storage).
  • How to fill the gaps of traditional MMRV approaches by increasing accuracy and transparency in regenerative agriculture and carbon programs.
  • How to create bespoke environmental assets to differentiate products, regions and practices via ground-truth data.

The Agrology Nitrous Flux Sensor delivers a groundbreaking solution, enabling farmers to measure and report climate-smart practices for verified greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions at scale

Salinas, CA, November 12, 2024Agrology today launched the first real-time, in-field nitrous oxide (N2O) flux sensor, breaking new ground for climate-smart agriculture. This technology advances efforts by farmers, academics and supply chain partners who are seeking scalable solutions to accurately measure nitrous oxide and other GHG emissions at scale in commercial agriculture. Currently undergoing rigorous in-field validation with experts and partners, the Agrology Nitrous Flux Sensor is available in limited quantities, with a commercial release slated for early 2025.

The agricultural sector recognizes its role in Nâ‚‚O emissions and has sought ways to mitigate them. However, reducing Nâ‚‚O emissions and achieving accurate impact quantification have been challenging due to the lack of affordable measurement tools. This gap has forced farmers and supply chains to rely on estimated emissions factors. Agrology’s new sensor solves this problem at a fraction of the cost of research-grade equipment.

Adam Koeppel, Co-Founder and CEO of Agrology, highlighted the challenge and opportunity: “Accurately measuring Nâ‚‚O emissions at scale has been a significant barrier, limiting the adoption of practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our Nitrous Flux Sensor changes that by enabling precise nitrogen application without compromising yield, empowering growers to implement agricultural practices that lower emissions effectively.”

The launch of Agrology's Nitrous Flux Sensor addresses the critical challenge of nitrogen fertilizer management. Fertilizer applied at the wrong time, location, concentration, or in the wrong form not only releases Nâ‚‚O but also causes water pollution and biodiversity loss. With Agrology’s sensors, growers can measure and verify the impact of climate-smart nitrogen management strategies. These tools, combined with nitrogen reduction programs, support insetting initiatives by providing in-situ data that transparently quantify emission reductions. Growers can benefit from incentives beyond fertilizer savings, further encouraging sustainable practices.

Agrology’s innovation demonstrates the practicality and necessity of climate-smart practices and Nâ‚‚O reduction, paving the way for large-scale agricultural climate mitigation.

Key features of the Agrology Nitrous Flux Sensor include:

  • High Accuracy: Comparable to expensive laboratory-grade equipment, the sensor provides precise real-time Nâ‚‚O measurements across multiple locations.

  • Transformative Potential: The sensor revolutionizes measurement, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MMRV), reducing dependency on models and estimated emissions factors.

  • Enhanced Assessment: Farmers and partners can accurately evaluate the emissions impacts of various farming practices and products alongside cost and yield, enabling better decisions at scale.

  • Empowerment Through Data: Growers can adjust farming practices based on real-time data and report progress on emissions reductions, fostering continuous improvement.

  • Affordability and Accessibility: Priced for average farmers, the sensors can be deployed across diverse crop types, production systems, and regions, supporting in-field GHG monitoring at scale.

  • Broad Implications: Access to real-time, high-resolution Nâ‚‚O data across various systems and practices will expand research and enhance understanding of climate-smart agriculture.

Dr. Michael Schuppenhauer, Principal Investigator and Affiliate at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, has tested the Agrology Nitrous Flux Sensor for 18 months in commercial row crops. His research compared the sensor against cavity ringdown spectrometers and ground-truth nitrous oxide eddy flux sensors. The Agrology system achieved an R² value >0.8 for Nâ‚‚O when compared to measurements from research-grade sensors, demonstrating comparable performance at a fraction of the cost. Full results are detailed in the Agrology Gas Measurement Cross-Validation White Paper.

"Nitrous oxide is the white elephant in agricultural GHG emissions. Affordable, real-time emissions data is essential for growers to see the impact of their sustainable practices,” said Dr. Michael Schuppenhauer. "Agrology's Nitrous Flux Sensor is a paradigm shift in sustainable agriculture as it provides any grower with an affordable, accurate, and continuous tool to measure, reduce, and monitor nitrous oxide emissions, and thus enables GHG reductions and innovations at the source while replacing static factors and rigid, non-conforming models.”

The release of the Agrology Nitrous Oxide Sensor comes one year after the company introduced the Arbiter, the first system that continuously monitors and quantifies carbon flux and soil respiration for commercial farmers. The Arbiter provides data on soil health, the carbon cycle, water cycles, and microclimates, accessible through mobile and desktop apps. Agrology’s Nitrous Flux Sensor will integrate into the Arbiter, with the combined release scheduled for early 2025. More information can be found at agrology.ag/nitrous-oxide.
