Perennial

For the past 6+ years, Perennial has been a trusted provider of critical MRV data for soil organic carbon. Today, we’re announcing the next step in our mission to unlock the potential of soils around the world: we’re making soil ecosystem data available for croplands and grazing lands globally. Soil carbon, sequestration potential, and soil health. No soil sampling. No farmer data collection. No geographical or land use limits. Our global soils data is for teams throughout the agriculture and sustainability value chain who want to make informed decisions before collecting data from the field. Our data products will enable you to: → Get baseline estimates for soil organic carbon → Uncover critical soil microbial health indicators → Compare land based on its long-term potential for carbon sequestration → Assess both the risk and potential impact of different opportunities   This is data that hasn’t existed before. In the past, options have been limited to outdated static maps, expensive soil sampling, or biogeochemical models that are locked behind closed doors and confined to select geographies and crop types. We’re excited to be changing that by providing data that will enable you to make critical decisions about your land. The data will be available in Early 2025, so stay tuned!

How are we able to offer MRV for any crop, anywhere in the world, while reducing soil sampling and costs? It boils down to our underlying tech: advanced digital soil mapping. In this video, Perennial co-founder and CPO, David Schurman, explains how we’re able to scale to new regions — without the multi-year validation lag associated with biogeochemical models.

Looking forward to this! Streamlining the verification of emissions reductions and carbon removal is essential to incentivizing and scaling regenerative agriculture adoption. Perennial is proud to offer MRV for any crop, and any program, anywhere on earth — plus predictive data that helps minimize risks.

On Wednesday, our CTO, Daniela Moody, Ph.D., spoke at #GeoBuizSummit2025’s Insurance & Risk Management panel alongside Benjamin Tuttle, Alexander Martonik, Ian Boneysteele, and Kris Wagner. The panel explored how geospatial technology—particularly satellite remote sensing and downstream analytics—is reshaping risk management and insurance. While Perennial is best known for global MRV and digital soil mapping for sustainability teams and carbon markets, Daniela highlighted how our technology and geospatial intelligence also feed into risk mitigation and climate adaptation applications. From carbon footprint reduction to crop insurance, food security, resilience planning, and beyond, our data-driven insights can help stakeholders adapt to emerging climate risks and reduce uncertainty. Thank you to Geospatial World for hosting this forward-thinking discussion. We’re excited to see how geospatial analytics can continue to strengthen climate resilience, and we look forward to collaborating with partners across industries who share our vision for healthier soils and a more secure future.

Heading to the Sustainable Foods conference in London Jan 28-29? Our Business Development Lead, Priti M., will be on site connecting with folks about verifying sustainable outcomes at scale. If you’re looking for a streamlined way to measure soil health, carbon, and agricultural emissions across a global supply chain, keep an eye out for her and say hello! Don’t want to leave it to chance? Send Priti a DM to schedule a time to chat. #sustainablefoods

We couldn't be happier to be starting the new year with Daniela Moody, Ph.D. on our leadership team! Learn more about her journey in this feature from Space Talent.

Today, Perennial is incredibly excited to announce that Daniela Moody, Ph.D., has joined our leadership team as Chief Technology Officer! Passing the torch to Daniela, our founding CTO, David Schurman, is now Chief Product Officer. With decades of proven leadership in geospatial intelligence, Daniela will play a critical role in helping scale Perennial’s measurement and verification of customers’ emissions reduction and ecosystems services programs across the agriculture industry. “Perennial has a strong foundation and is well positioned to deliver meaningful innovation”, said Daniela. “I’m thrilled to be joining the team and operationalizing its technology to deliver high-impact geospatial insights that support climate adaptation and sustainability efforts worldwide.” Learn more in our latest press release: https://lnkd.in/eSCK2aXU

Lifting the curtain to share this internal PSA from our Senior Agroecosystem Scientist, Mitchell Donovan. For context, ATLAS-SOC is Perennial’s flagship soil carbon mapping framework. It leverages our database of over 100,000 soil samples, machine learning algorithms, and both microbial- and biophysically-informed predictors from remote sensing and environmental datasets. Since it's geographically transferable, it can measure soil carbon on croplands and grazing lands all around the world. In fact, it can be applied on any land on Earth that has satellite coverage (except wetlands). When we say we can measure soil carbon worldwide, ATLAS-SOC is how.

This World Soil Day, we were honored to participate in Healthy Soils, Healthy Planet, an international workshop hosted by The World Bank and the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India. Our Co-founder and CTO, David Schurman, joined Dr. Upendra Singh, Mr. SANJAY AGARWAL, Natalia Rodríguez Eugenio, Dr. Suresh Kumar Chaudhari, and Dr. Mangli Lal Jat on the panel, "Soil as a Core Pillar for Planet, People, and Sustainable Agriculture." Panelists were in agreement that: • Soil health is important for the future of food production. • Change has to start with the farmer and with things that work for the farmer. • We need better ways of measuring, monitoring, and managing outcomes. David shared our perspective on the need for both physical sampling and technology that scales up the measurement you get from samples alone. → We need samples because agriculture and soils are so diverse, especially in places like India. → We need scalable solutions, like digital soil mapping, to reduce the data collection and cost burden on farmers and stakeholders. One stat that stood out to us was regarding over-fertilization; up to 70% of applied fertilizers are wasted because they’re not getting taken up by the plants. This underscores the need to measure soil attributes and better understand the unique needs and dynamics of soil on each field. We left feeling inspired by the collective commitment to advancing soil health — and honored to be a part of it. #worldsoilday #worldsoilsday

Heading to the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit in Mexico City this week? Our Business Development Lead, Marcos Machado, will be attending and connecting with folks looking to measure soil organic carbon and soil health at scale. Send him a DM if you'd like to chat!
