The Platform
Hypocotyl: CI infrastructure for agricultural supply chains.
We measure, explain, and report carbon intensity with scientific rigor and clear boundaries — so every stakeholder can trust the result.
CI Scoring Engine
Farm-specific carbon intensity calculated using a transparent, documented methodology. Every output is bounded, traceable, and auditable.
Farm Data Infrastructure
Structured data collection that meets producers where they work. Integrations with existing farm management tools where available.
Disclosure Readiness
Methodology aligned with recognized LCA frameworks. Outputs include boundary statements and confidence ranges — not just a number.
Buyer-Ready Reporting
Auditable CI reports formatted for procurement, Scope 3 disclosures, and low-carbon program participation.

Example values for illustrative purposes. Actual outputs depend on farm data and confirmed methodology parameters.
Who It Serves
Built for the entire agricultural supply chain.
Hypocotyl creates value for producers, buyers, food companies, and lenders — because trusted data only works when the whole chain can rely on it.

Methodology
Built on recognized scientific frameworks.
Our carbon intensity methodology draws from established LCA principles and agricultural emissions accounting standards. Boundaries are defined, assumptions are documented, and outputs include explicit uncertainty ranges.
—Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) aligned approach
—Cradle-to-farmgate boundary definition
—Field-level data inputs, not regional defaults where avoidable
—Confidence ranges and data completeness reporting
—Methodology governance and transparent versioning
Boundary Statement
Cradle-to-farmgate. Included emission sources: fuel combustion, fertilizer manufacture and application (including N₂O), seed production, on-farm energy use, and field-level carbon stock changes where data supports estimation.
Excluded: downstream transport, processing, and packaging. Exclusions are explicitly noted in all outputs.
Methodology details are subject to change as scientific standards and program requirements evolve. All output documents carry a version reference.
