Ruumi: Sustainable Agriculture through Technology and Innovation
editRuumi is a company dedicated to transforming agriculture from a climate burden to a climate asset. Founded by Johannes, Patrick, and Daniel, who originally worked in the automotive industry, Ruumi focuses on supporting livestock farmers in transitioning to regenerative and sustainable agricultural practices.
Key Products and Services
edit-
Grazing App: Ruumi offers a free Grazing App that works with data from multispectral and radar satellites, machine learning, and soil measurements. This app allows farmers to efficiently manage their grazing lands, monitor grassland density, and automatically keep records[2][3][5].
-
Soil Improvement Programme: Ruumi supports farmers in improving soil health through the implementation of soil carbon sampling and advanced carbon modeling. This leads to increased grass production, reduced overgrazing, and decreased reliance on synthetic fertilizers[2][3].
-
Financing and Know-How: The company provides farmers not only with technology but also the necessary know-how and financial resources to facilitate the transition to sustainable practices. There are no entry fees, and Ruumi finances the necessary changes[1][3].
Mission and Values
editRuumi's mission is to make global food supply more environmentally friendly, restore ecosystems, and remove tons of carbon from the atmosphere while simultaneously creating profitable farms. The company believes this can only be achieved by improving soil health and collaborating with innovative farmers[3].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
edit-
Carbon Sequestration: Ruumi is working to remove large amounts of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere through soil sequestration. The goal is to sequester 15 megatons of CO2 equivalent annually by 2030[2].
-
Regenerative Agriculture: By promoting regenerative agricultural practices such as rotational grazing and the use of diverse grass species, biodiversity is enhanced and the need for emissions-intensive inputs is reduced[2].
-
Partnerships and Certifications: Ruumi collaborates with premium brands and food delivery services to sell sustainable agricultural products directly to consumers. The carbon credits issued by Ruumi meet the stringent verification standards of the Verra VCS VM0042 method[1][2].
