Radicle™ Soil Carbon Sensor
The SEED Radicle™ draws its name and inspiration from the primary, embryonic root of a plant. This rechargeable device drills into the soil to measure CO₂ using spectroscopy, providing real-time monitoring and direct measurement of CO₂ values. Soil carbon data is calibrated to remote sensing and digital soil databases and uploaded to a smart device.
WHY BE RADICLE?
Farmers need a reliable system that quantifies soil carbon in a low-cost way, which also delivers clear economic rewards and remediation solutions. When they have better data, they make better decisions about management. When they make better decisions about management, they build soil carbon levels, increase yields and reduce grenhouse gas emissions. This can change the world.
SEED Grow & Give System™ Mobile App
An application for every type of small plot grower. Forward planning requires a user-friendly platform that makes data accessible and shareable. The SEED app delivers clarity on soil organic carbon, stewardship planning, irrigation, and projections about carbon sequestration — for individuals and community aggregates.
SEED Small Plot Kit
The Small Plot Kit helps growers — from home gardeners to urban farmers to smallholders — save water and grow more produce. Powered by simple, accessible technology, the SEED SPK is currently deployed in urban demonstration sites. The SPK is reliable and affordable precision irrigation for small growers, can pair with the Radicle, and scale up while staying cost-effective.
GROW & GIVE STARTER KIT
The Grow & Give Starter Kit — a proof-of-concept project launched in Summer 2020 — helps home gardeners grow quickly, allowing SEED to assess ease of use and sensor performance. See it in action.
