CIBO Impact

Core Features

The CIBO Impact methodology is based on the SALUS biogeochemical model which simulate carbon and yield under different practices and weather, producing verifiable impact data for Scope 3 reporting, carbon markets, and ESG compliance. The platform combines modeling with program management, data/APIs, and incentive stacking to move from plans to outcomes. Some of its main features are:

• Field-level modeling at scale: SALUS simulates soil carbon, GHGs, and yields at field level, then rolls up to supply-shed, regional, or state analyses for MRV.

• Scenario planning & baselines: Model historical baselines and “what-if” practice changes to target the most effective reductions before deployment.

• Program engine & workflows: Private-label tools to configure eligibility, practices, payments, and compliance; digital enrollment and workflow automation.

• Incentive stacking: Let growers see eligibility and apply to USDA EQIP and private programs simultaneously to boost adoption and impact.

• Open data & APIs: Access modeled baselines, reductions, and practice verification via secure APIs; computer-vision classifications support practice detection.

• Third-party model integrations: Industry-first open platform to plug in outside carbon/ecosystem models when programs require them.

Closing Insights

CIBO’s deployment with Truterra exemplifies scale in U.S. agriculture. Since 2022, Truterra has used CIBO’s platform across 20+ sustainability programs, jointly enrolling more than 2 million acres. Their co-developed “MyPortal” simplifies enrollment: farmers complete a short survey and their remote-sensed data is used to prequalify land, reducing friction. In the first months, over 1 million acres across 30 states were onboarded this way.

On carbon markets, Anew Climate’s CarbonNOW® program uses CIBO Impact to streamline soil sampling, automated control plot design, and outcomes reporting across hundreds of thousands of acres. That enables growers to monitor carbon results and participate in offset programs efficiently. Moreover, CIBO recently introduced an open platform integration that lets sponsors use SALUS or bring their preferred ecosystem models—useful where standards, crops, or geographies necessitate different methods.

For organizations seeking measurable Scope 3 programs rather than raw inventories, CIBO Impact offers a unified path from baselining to verified impact. CIBO differentiates itself through scientific, farm-scale modeling, embedded program infrastructure (eligibility, payments, compliance), incentive stacking mechanisms, and a trusted advisor network. That said, CIBO currently focuses its modeling on North American farms. While its incentive programs are open to all U.S. farmers, and expansion to other crops is possible upon customer request, prospective users outside those bounds should verify model coverage, or plan for future expansion, with the provider.
