Systems, methods, and computer program products for recommending farming practices based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more field are received. Management event data comprising one or more management events within the one or more fields is received. For each management event, a management event boundary defining geospatial boundaries is received, and one or more management zones is determined based on the management event boundaries. One or more ecosystem attribute quantification method is applied to each of the one or more management zones to generate one or more ecosystem attributes of the one or more management zones. One or more ecosystem attribute is selected for each management zone. An ecosystem credit token or portion thereof is generated for each selected ecosystem attribute. The ecosystem credit token is associated with a quantity of raw agricultural product.

Systems and methods for ecosystem credit recommendations

Dynamic data tiling is provided. In various embodiments, a request is received for a tile of geographic data from a requestor. The request specifies a region relative to a projection. The region is looked up in a spatial index to determine one or more source tiles. The spatial index corresponds to the projection and the one or more source tiles intersecting the region. The one or more source tiles are requested from a proxy. The proxy is configured to maintain one or more persistent connections to one or more datastores and to retrieve the one or more source tiles via the one or more persistent connections. The one or more source tiles is received from the proxy. The requested tile of geographic data is constructed from the one or more source tiles. The requested tile of geographic data is provided to the requestor.

Dynamic data tiling

Imagery-based boundary identification for agricultural fields is provided. In various embodiments, a time series of surface reflectance rasters for a geographic region is received. For each of the surface reflectance rasters, at least one index raster is determined, yielding at least one time series of index rasters. The at least one time series of index rasters is divided into a plurality of consecutive time windows. The at least one time series of index rasters is composited within each of the plurality of time windows, yielding a composite index raster for each of the at least one time series of index rasters in each of the plurality of time windows. The composite index rasters are segmented into a plurality of spatially compact regions of the geographic region. A plurality of polygons is generated from the plurality of spatially compact regions, each of the plurality of polygons corresponding to an agricultural field in the geographic region.

Imagery-based boundary identification for agricultural fields

Systems, methods, and computer program products for recommending ecosystem credit tokens based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more field are received. One or more methodology is accessed. For each of the one or more fields, one or more farming practice is accessed, wherein each farming practice comprises a location and time. For each of the one or more fields, for each crop production period, an ecosystem attribute is generated by applying one or more ecosystem attribute quantification methods to each spatially and temporally unique set of one or more farming practices. Selection of one or more program is optimized for each field based on the set of selected programs being compatible within the field and production period.

Systems, methods, and computer program products for maintaining a collection of ecosystem credit tokens based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, an ecosystem attribute target profile for the collection of ecosystem credit tokens is accessed. The target profile comprises a set of ecosystem characteristics, quantities of one or more ecosystem characteristics, and permanence of one or more ecosystem characteristics. A set of ecosystem credit tokens is accessed, wherein each ecosystem credit token data record comprises one or more of: a validated and verified management event, a methodology, an ecosystem attribute, a boundary, an ecosystem impact, an ecosystem credit, and an ecosystem attribute quantification method. A current profile of the collection of ecosystem credit tokens is determined, wherein the profile comprises the set of ecosystem characteristics within the collection, quantities of ecosystem characteristics, and permanence of ecosystem characteristics. The collection is automatically updated to maintain a current profile.

Systems, methods, and computer program products for recommending farming practices based on modelled outcomes are provided. In various embodiments, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more field are received. Management event data comprising one or more management events within the one or more fields is received. For each management event, a management event boundary defining geospatial boundaries is received, and one or more management zones is determined based on the management event boundaries. The determination of one or more management zones comprises sequentially intersecting a geospatial boundary. Each sequential intersection operation creating two branches, one with the intersection of the geometries and one with the difference. This process is repeated for all management event boundaries occurring in a geospatial boundary defining a contiguous region, wherein each individual management zone contains a unique set of farming practices relative to any other management zone within the contiguous region.
