Key Takeaways
- MyEasyFarm introduces MyEasyBiomass, a digital tool for biomass quantification in support of regenerative and low-carbon farming
- The module integrates the SAFYE-CO2 model developed by CESBIO, transferred through Toulouse Tech Transfer
- MyEasyBiomass offers high-resolution satellite and agro-meteorological data to replace estimation-based biomass reporting
- The tool assists stakeholders in generating more credible carbon credits and reducing Scope 3 emissions
- Developed in collaboration with ESA, CESBIO, and Connect by CNES
MyEasyFarm Enhances Biomass Monitoring with Launch of MyEasyBiomass
MyEasyFarm (Profile), an AgTech startup focused on regenerative and low-carbon agriculture, has announced the launch of MyEasyBiomass, a new operational module designed to support biomass initiatives and carbon projects. This release follows a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and developed in partnership with CESBIO, with support from Connect by CNES.
The module addresses a key uncertainty in carbon sequestration measurement: the amount of biomass returned by cover crops. MyEasyBiomass integrates the SAFYE-CO2 model, developed by CESBIO, which allows for the precise estimation of crop and cover crop biomass at high spatial and temporal resolution, even in variable growth or cloudy conditions.
“MyEasyBiomass is the first commercial solution to integrate the SAFYE-CO2 model, the result of over fifteen years of R&D by our teams,” said Eric Ceschia, Research Director at CESBIO.
Technological Integration and Use Cases
The SAFYE-CO2 model’s integration into the MyEasyFarm platform was facilitated by Toulouse Tech Transfer. This technology provides data that enhances the credibility of regenerative agriculture and carbon sequestration claims by replacing general estimations with specific, validated figures.
Key functionalities of MyEasyBiomass include:
- Real-time biomass quantification for crops and cover crops
- Calculation of additional soil carbon storage via the AMG model
- Support for project developers and supply chain actors in validating carbon credits
- Tools for reducing Scope 3 emissions in agriculture-based value chains
“With MyEasyBiomass, we provide the sector with a unique tool to validate biomass measurement, a fundamental but still too uncertain lever for carbon sequestration,” said François Thierart, CEO of MyEasyFarm.
