In England, approximately 8 million hectares of land is cultivated annually, and with every cultivation carbon loss in soil accelerates at an average rate of 0.6% per year, with some soils losing up to 20% of its carbon within said year.Soil strength (carbon content) at the time of cultivation is directly related to soil texture and soil moisture. We plan to use satellite technologies to record soil carbon loss over time and combine that with ground truth data including cultivations, soil texture and climatic data. The objective is to validate that cultivating at optimum soil moisture levels leads to a predictable reduction in soil carbon loss.Our project will develop a timing forecast API and smartphone app for farmers to drive reduced carbon emissions from soils following cultivation. We will work with soil experts at Harper Adams University, the farming industry and other stakeholders to develop a solution that significantly reduce agriculture's carbon footprint while concurrently minimising impacts of cultivation on soil health through minimising carbon loss, all whilst maximising soil organic matter retention.Our project budget is £441,919 and duration will be 18 months.

在英国，每年大约有800万公顷的土地被耕种，每次耕种，土壤中的碳损失每年平均加速0.6%，有些土壤在一年内损失的碳高达20%。耕种时的土壤强度（碳含量）与土壤质地和土壤湿度直接相关。我们计划利用卫星技术记录土壤碳随时间的流失，并将其与耕作、土壤质地和气候数据等地面实况数据相结合。目标是验证在最佳土壤湿度水平下耕作可导致土壤碳损失的可预测减少。我们的项目将为农民开发时间预测 API 和智能手机应用程序，以减少耕作后土壤的碳排放。我们将与哈珀亚当斯大学的土壤专家、农业行业和其他利益相关者合作，开发一种解决方案，显着减少农业的碳足迹，同时通过最大限度地减少碳损失，最大限度地减少耕作对土壤健康的影响，同时最大限度地保留土壤有机质。我们的项目预算为 441,919 英镑，持续时间为 18 个月。
