Our commitments

Sustainability, measured in the field — not on a poster.

BAU Farm Intelligence exists to make specialty crop farms more resilient, more profitable, and easier for the next generation to take on. Sustainability isn't a side program for us — it's the outcome our tools are built to produce.

Four pillars

Every feature we ship rolls up into one of these. If it doesn't, we don't build it.

Soil & carbon

Cover crops, reduced tillage, perennial acres, and biochar tracked per field using USDA COMET-Planner coefficients. Farms that build soil organic carbon unlock carbon-credit revenue on top of yield.

See the carbon module
Water & inputs

Nutrient plans sized to soil-test results, IPM-driven pest watch, and irrigation records that cut synthetic N, fungicide passes, and pumped water — without cutting yield.

Conservation tools
Farmer community

Built with and for veteran, beginning, and family-scale specialty crop growers across the Southeast. Free tier stays free. Pilot cohort keeps founding pricing for life.

Farmer pilot
Supply-chain transparency

Wholesale and institutional buyers get clean, defensible data for Scope-3 disclosures — the same field-level records the farmer uses to run the operation, not a marketing summary.

Buyer pilot

How we back it up

Published coefficients
EPA GHG Emission Factors Hub, IPCC 2019 Refinement, USDA COMET-Planner v3.1, and NRCS Conservation Practice Standards — cited on every report we generate.
Field-level records
Practices, inputs, and outcomes are logged per field per season. No aggregated averages standing in for real activity.
Farmer-owned data
Growers own their records and choose what to share with buyers, lenders, or carbon programs. Data is never sold.

Sustainability FAQ

Common questions from buyers evaluating suppliers and farmers evaluating the platform.

Whether you're a grower sizing up the platform or a buyer evaluating suppliers, we'd rather have a real conversation than leave you guessing.
