Company said report shows power of data-driven soil intelligence to profitability, resilience, and sustainability
Soil intelligence specialist Biome Makers has published its 2024 Impact Report: Transforming Soil Health for a Sustainable Future. Powered by the world’s largest global soil database, the report highlights the company’s progress in advancing sustainable agriculture, reversing soil degradation, and empowering farmers worldwide through its innovative BeCrop technology.
According to Biome Makers, the 2024 Impact Report showcases its achievements across its three core pillars: fostering a nature-positive food production system, promoting fair socio-economic conditions for farmers, and empowering the agricultural ecosystem. Key highlights include:
- Environmental Impact: Supported 895,450ha with biodiversity-improving recommendations and sequestered 269 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions through BeCrop-based practices.
- Farmer Empowerment: Generated US$18mn in additional profits for farmers through cost savings and yield improvements, with 32,225 farmers adopting sustainable practices.
- Ecosystem Collaboration: Trained 640 advisors in sustainable soil management and enabled food companies and ag retailers to validate regenerative claims using BeCrop insights.
Co-founder and CEO Adiran Ferrero commented: “Biome Makers is revolutionising agriculture by putting soil health at the heart of the food system. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, our 2024 Impact Report demonstrates the power of data-driven soil intelligence to drive profitability, resilience, and sustainability for farmers and the broader ecosystem. We’re excited to build on this decade of innovation to further transform agriculture”.
The report also highlights Biome Makers’ alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including food security (SDG 2), climate action (SDG 13), and sustainable land management (SDG 15). The launch of BeCrop Farm in 2024, a digital platform offering field-level soil intelligence, has empowered farmers in over 54+ countries to make data-driven decisions that enhance soil health and boost profitability.
