VM0042
Soil Organic Carbon dMRV
Run soil organic carbon programmes with field-level practice-change logging, permanent soil sampling points and lab-data linkage — built for VM0042's model-plus-measurement approach.
- 100% of sampling points GPS-permanent
- 5% max field overlap tolerance enforced
- 1 linked record per lab result
The problems with paper-based Soil Carbon MRV
Manual, paper-based monitoring is error-prone and hard to scale — every gap here resurfaces later as a verification delay.
Recalled practice changes
Tillage and cover-crop changes are reported from memory at season-end, not logged per field as they happen.
Shifting sample points
Samples are pulled from a slightly different spot each round, breaking the time series a soil-carbon model needs.
Disconnected lab data
Lab results land as PDFs with no link back to the field or round they belong to.
Overlapping enrolments
Enrolled farms overlap unnoticed with other regenerative-agriculture programmes, risking double-counted area.
Paper-based Soil Carbon MRV drives up operational cost, delays verification, and pushes carbon-credit issuance further out of reach.
How TrueCarbon digitises Soil Carbon monitoring
Tillage change and soil sampling, tied to the same field every time, with enterprise-grade accuracy and immutable audit trails.
Farmer & field enrolment
Duplicate detection at enrolment catches farms already claimed by another programme before they're double-counted.
Practice-change logging
Tillage, cover cropping and input changes are logged per field as they happen, not recalled at season-end.
Permanent soil sampling points
GPS-registered sampling points mean every round — this year or in five — measures the exact same ground.
Lab data linkage
Lab results attach directly to the sampling point and round, building the defensible time series VM0042 modelling needs.
Everything needed for digital MRV
- Multi-tenant workspaces
- Role-based access
- Offline-first mobile app

Soil Carbon dMRV — FAQs
Answers to the questions teams ask most about Soil Carbon dMRV and TrueCarbon.
Does TrueCarbon support VM0042's model-plus-measurement approach?
The platform captures the practice-change and soil-sampling evidence VM0042 requires to calibrate and validate a soil carbon model, with lab data linked to permanent GPS sampling points.
Can TrueCarbon flag farms already enrolled in another programme?
Yes. Duplicate detection on national ID, name similarity and GPS proximity flags likely overlaps with other regenerative-agriculture programmes at enrolment.
