What Is Ruumi?
ruumi is all about enabling farmers to restore and maintain soil health on livestock pasture. It’s not just about farming—it’s about creating more productive farms that use fewer inputs and emit less. ruumi connects sponsors who want to be part of this transition directly with farmers. Through ruumi, sponsors can actually reach net zero in their supply chains. Pretty cool, right?
The Main Benefit: Accurate Farm Data at Scale
Working with farmers to reduce supply chain emissions and hit sustainability goals is at the heart of ruumi. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Soil can store up to eight times more carbon when restored properly.
- Supports biodiversity and local businesses along the way.
- Monitors progress via satellite and soil sampling for full visibility.
- Provides detailed reports to understand sustainability levels.
- Ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
- Verifies farming practices against rigorous standards.
How Ruumi Works With Farmers
It’s a partnership, really. ruumi provides farmers with the know-how, technology, and sponsorship needed to improve soil health and capture carbon. First, they baseline the farm by taking soil samples to create a solid data set. Then, together with the farmer, they craft a soil improvement plan, using satellite data and soil sampling to verify progress. Finally, farmers get connected with sponsorships that incentivize them to make—and keep—those important changes. It’s a win-win.
Why Soil Health Matters
Soil health is the foundation of productive and cost-effective farming systems. Healthy, biodiverse soil means more resilient food production that can handle weather swings and needs fewer artificial inputs. It all starts with the soil! Without it, farming just doesn’t work as well. And with ruumi, that soil gets the attention it deserves.
Is Animal Farming Really That Bad?
Animal farming often gets a bad rap for its environmental impact, but here’s the thing: not all animal farming is created equal. “It’s not the cow, it’s the how,” as the saying goes. Sustainable livestock farming can actually sequester carbon, improve soil health, promote biodiversity, and protect natural habitats. Plus, it helps build resilient rural communities, boosts access to healthy food, and supports fair supply chains. ruumi helps sponsors back farmers committed to these sustainable practices—reducing chemicals, improving soil, and optimizing grazing patterns. It’s about doing animal farming right.
Ruumi’s Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger – by promoting productive and sustainable agriculture.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – through sustainable farming practices.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – by reducing emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration.
- SDG 15: Life on Land – protecting biodiversity and restoring ecosystems.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – connecting farmers, sponsors, and researchers.
Technology and Transparency: Real-Time Monitoring
ruumi’s unique technology lets sponsors follow their farming partners’ progress in real time. Satellite imagery, a bespoke free-to-use grazing app, and soil sampling all feed into an open registry that keeps everyone in the loop. This transparency means better compliance, better reporting, and ultimately, better results. It’s like having a front-row seat to the future of sustainable farming.
