Taranis Launches Strategic Partnership with Pivot Bio to Support Sustainable Nitrogen Management
Taranis, the global provider of AI-powered crop intelligence, has entered a new partnership with Pivot Bio (Profile) to help farmers adopt sustainable nutrient management practices and access USDA conservation funding. Through the Taranis Conservation™ program, Pivot Bio’s dealer network can now refer growers for support in securing financial assistance from programs such as the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) and Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
“We created Taranis Conservation to remove the administrative hurdles and information gaps that often prevent growers from tapping into the conservation dollars potentially available to them,” said Opher Flohr, CEO of Taranis.
Taranis Conservation™ to Assist Growers in Implementing PROVEN® 40 and Regenerative Practices
The collaboration focuses on supporting adoption of Pivot Bio’s PROVEN® 40, a microbial nitrogen product that replaces part of synthetic nitrogen applications—particularly in fall and spring, where nitrogen loss risk is higher. Taranis will provide digital recordkeeping tools, USDA-aligned documentation, and guidance to help growers qualify for federal funding tied to practices such as:
- Soil testing and nutrient monitoring
- Use of nitrogen stabilizers
- Variable rate nitrogen application
“Taranis has built a seamless process that reduces the friction in accessing government programs. Together, we can help more growers adopt PROVEN 40 and other smart agronomic tools,” said Jim Kelly, Director of Commercial Sustainability Partnerships at Pivot Bio.
Success-Based Model Offers Low-Risk Entry for Growers
The Taranis Conservation™ service operates without upfront costs, charging growers only when funding is successfully secured. The goal is to increase ROI for participating farms while also supporting broader goals in sustainability, soil health, and reduced nitrogen loss.
The program is designed to align with USDA guidelines and emerging requirements related to carbon intensity (CI) scoring, positioning it as a potential pathway for growers to adapt to evolving environmental and compliance standards.
Taranis Expands Reach Through Pivot Bio Dealer Network
Through the partnership, Taranis enables Pivot Bio dealers to begin referring customers immediately. Participating growers retain full agronomic autonomy while gaining access to technical support and administrative tools to improve their chances of funding success.
