Soil carbon measurement that’s affordable, robust, and landscape scale

Carbon Quester is a scientifically rigorous measurement service developed with Rothamstead Research, that doesn’t cost the earth.

Our approach

We combine physical soil sampling with hyperspectral testing techniques to unlock soil carbon measurement at scale. Our DNA is farmer-led and science-driven. Our method was tested in real world conditions and trialled at landscape scale in the North-East Cotswold Farming Cluster.

How it works

  • Plan

    We design a bespoke stratified soil sampling plan tuned for precision, certainty, and cost

  • Measure

    We use Rothamsted Research Laboratory facilities for rigorous and high quality soil testing

  • Analyse

    We crunch the data, providing your carbon baseline report and benchmarking against comparable sites

Why measure your soil carbon?
