Switching from traditional laboratory soil testing to the Subterra Green’s mobile platform changes the game for farmers and service providers.

Recent advances in visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy have revolutionized our capacity to measure SOC in situ. Peer-reviewed studies consistently demonstrate that vis-NIR instruments, when properly calibrated, deliver rapid, reliable, and spatially resolved data on SOC and bulk density. This technology enables dense sampling grids and three-dimensional mapping—critical for both baseline establishment and ongoing verification demanded by carbon programs.

For farmers, understanding and accurately measuring carbon levels in soil has become a transformative practice, opening doors to a world...
