About us
Downforce Technologies is pioneering a science-led, data-driven, land management solution focused on optimising soil health and biodiversity. Our ISO-certified and US-patented solution connects agricultural supply chains – farmers, processors and retailers – with actionable data and insights. Sustainability managers use Downforce for their net zero reporting. Farmers use Downforce to target their sustainability interventions. Features of our Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) analysis include: + Historical analysis from 2017 onwards – immediate insight into SOC variance over time. + Realisable potential – how much carbon can be stored on a property. + 10m x 10m resolution in a non-intrusive manner – no physical soil core samples required. + Data is updated every 10 days – providing seasonal SOC variance. Our data fusion approach integrates quality assured, locally relevant, geophysical and environmental data with the latest airborne and satellite data to generate a Digital Twin of the land. Our customers use our data to improve resilience of their land, efficiently manage soil carbon capture initiatives and biodiversity conservation.

🌱 Advancing Sustainable Agriculture: Downforce Technologies at the Leading Harvest Summit 🌱 🎉 Our CEO, Peter Moss, and Head of Product (Americas), Luke Richards, will be attending the upcoming Leading Harvest Summit in Seattle! This event is a vital platform for connecting capital, land, and operations to drive sustainability in agriculture. At Downforce Technologies, we believe in the power of robust scientific data to transform supply chains and enable organisations to drive positive change on the ground. By advancing the conversation on impact monitoring within the Leading Harvest sustainability standard, we aim to contribute to a future where sustainable practices are measurable, actionable, and scalable. We look forward to engaging with the Leading Harvest community and exploring innovative ways to support its mission of advancing agriculture from the ground up. Let’s lead the way. Together. 🌍 #Sustainability #Agriculture #LeadingHarvest #DownforceTechnologies #SoilOrganicCarbon #RegenerativeAgriculture
We are excited to connect capital, land and brands at our 2024 North America Summit for an important discussion on sustainable agriculture and supply chain resiliency. The two ends of the supply chain share a need for transparency, risk management, and good governance on sustainability topics, but have little opportunity to interact and explore collaboration. This invitation-only event will foster dialogue up and down the supply chain among landowners, farmland managers, consumer-facing brands, and retailers. By aligning interests, we aim to accelerate sustainable outcomes and drive continuous improvement at scale. Thank you to our sponsors Manulife Investment Management, International Farming, Peoples Company, AgIS Capital LLC, PGIM Real Estate, Constellation Brands, K&L Gates, UBS, Optimum Agriculture and Averum for their generous support.

🌱 Happy #WorldSoilDay! At Downforce Technologies, we’re committed to making every hectare count toward global climate, biodiversity and food security goals. Did you know that soils are the largest terrestrial sink of carbon on our planet? Our Chief Scientist, Jacqueline McGlade, highlights that a 1% increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) across global cropland and pasture could sequester 311 Gt CO2e. That’s the equivalent of a decade’s worth of the emissions cuts needed to keep global temperature rises under 2°C—or on track for Net Zero. But the benefits of healthier soils don’t stop there! Increased SOC also means: - Lower input costs for farmers - More nutrient-dense food for consumers - Better water retention for resilient farming systems 🌍 Let’s celebrate the power of soil to transform our future. How are you protecting and improving your soil today? Get in touch if you would like to start measuring your SOC today. Video courtesy of FAO #WorldSoilDay #SoilHealth #SoilOrganicCarbon #FAO
