Method and system to calculate net carbon sequestration for agriculture using remote sensing data

A system 100 to calculate net carbon sequestration for agriculture using remote sensing data comprising:

• a memory (102) storing instructions;
• one or more communication interfaces (106);
• and
• one or more hardware processors (104) coupled to the memory (102) via the one or more communication interfaces (106), wherein the one or more hardware processors (104) are configured by the instructions to:
• process remote sensing data comprising one or more input images indicating one or more characteristics of at least one agriculture crop associated with a geographical region;
• calculate a carbon footprint value of at least one agriculture crop by obtaining a plurality of carbon values associated with the geographical region, wherein the plurality of carbon values includes an intensive tillage value from soil carbon release, a carbon sequestered in soil value, one or more agriculture crop management practices, an agricultural crop respiration loss value, and a locked carbon value above ground crop biomass;
• and
• calculate a net carbon flux of least one agriculture crop based on the carbon footprint value, a data maturity index, and a difficulty level.

One or more non-transitory machine-readable information storage mediums comprising one or more instructions which when executed by one or more hardware processors cause:

• processing remote sensing data comprising one or more input images indicating one or more characteristics of at least one agriculture crop associated with a geographical region;
• calculating a carbon footprint value of at least one agriculture crop by obtaining a plurality of carbon values associated with the geographical region,
• wherein the plurality of carbon values includes an intensive tillage value from soil carbon release, a carbon sequestered in soil value, one or more agriculture crop management practices, an agricultural crop respiration loss value, and a locked carbon value above ground crop biomass;
• and
• calculating a net carbon flux of least one agriculture crop based on the carbon footprint value, a data maturity index, and a difficulty level.
