Better Sustainability Starts With Soil Health

The indicator of the Rate is the soil microbiome.

Firstly, the Biome Makers team studies the areas of interest using satellite imagery to understand how many samples are required. Once we have nailed down the location and quantity of samples needed, one of our partners takes the samples.

The samples are then sent through BeCrop®’s advanced algorithm, which assesses how fertilizer, cover cropping, and biodiversity can be improved and adjusted to biological indicators.

It is flexible, but the most optimal time we typically recommend is during the active growing season.

The BeCrop Rate is valid for one year.

We would like to emphasize that the baseline of 100 is a wild forest, so agricultural land will never have the perfect score. The Rate serves to benchmark where you are on your journey toward complete regenerative agriculture.

That being said, if your Rate is low, we have the perfect next step for you. Our service BeCrop® Management will provide you with additional insights to understand how the management practices impact the soil over time and in different locations. Biome Makers will take a Rate of each land and see which soil microbiome is healthier. This data will help you see exactly which management practices are working efficiently, allowing you to optimize them for a bigger impact.

Then, you can use the data and analysis to communicate the steps you are taking to be more regenerative. BeCrop® Rate helps you measure your progress and take the necessary steps toward true regenerative agriculture, even if your Rate is low.

The A++ rating, equivalent to 100, represents a pristine, untouched wilderness, like a wild forest. 

It's important to emphasize that achieving a 100 (A++) rating is only possible for such environments. Any form of human intervention will lower the overall score.

Customers should understand that a 100 (A++) rating is exclusive to natural, undisturbed landscapes. It's perfectly normal for farmers or managed areas to score between 60 and 80, which indicates some level of human involvement.
