Impact

Measuring what matters.

Impact claims are easy to make and hard to prove. We publish figures only when we can show how we measured them. This page sets out what we track and how.

What we measure

Five areas, tracked continuously.

  • Climate

    • CO₂ utilised in cultivation
    • Emissions avoided (with method stated)
    • Biomass produced
  • Circularity

    • Organic waste diverted from dumping or burning
    • Materials recovered
    • Resources reused
  • Agriculture

    • Farmers reached
    • Inputs supplied
    • Soil and productivity outcomes from documented trials
  • Livelihoods and economy

    • Jobs created
    • Local suppliers and value chains
    • Aquaponics systems installed
  • Innovation

    • Technologies developed
    • Pilots completed
    • Research partnerships

How we measure

Five rules for every figure.

Measured, not modelled
Or clearly labelled when modelled.
Dated and sourced
Every figure shows when it was measured and how.
Conservative
When in doubt, we round down.
Verified where possible
We seek independent verification for climate figures before publishing them.
Updated regularly
Figures are reviewed annually.
