Eco-Harvest Projects
Since 2020, we have been conducting pilot tests leading up to our May 2022 Eco-Harvest market program launch. Working with our extensive network of partners and collaborators, we have been testing and refining our integrated ecosystem services credit protocol and other new technologies for every major farm commodity across the nation. We quantify environmental assets generated by participating producers and arrange the sale of credits or assets through the Eco-Harvest program.
Currently, ESMC is only launching projects within specific regions and production systems where program buildout has been completed. ESMC’s map continues to expand as ESMC adds more regions and production systems. Eco-Harvest market projects are those that are at scale; Eco-Harvest pilot projects are innovation and research-focused projects.
