Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV) is an outcome-based monitoring protocol for grassland environments.
Currently deployed on over 6 million acres globally, EOV evaluates both leading and lagging indicators to give you a holistic assessment of ecosystem function.
EOV works on two time scales. Annually, an EOV monitor assesses qualitative aboveground indicators like bare ground and biodiversity. And every five years, plant diversity metrics, water infiltration, and soil data. Soil samples are tested for quantitative measurements such as soil carbon and water-holding capacity
Most monitoring protocols are cost-prohibitive and designed primarily for academics.
EOV was designed to be farmer-first, adaptable across eco-regions, and providing actionable insights based on land health trends.
