The Seam Is Now Technology Partner With Field to Market
June 18, 2020 The Seam, a leading provider of food and agriculture software solutions, has been approved as a Qualified Data Management Partner with Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture.
The announcement comes following an integration of sustainability metrics powered by Field to Market’s Fieldprint Platform into The Seam’s latest technology suite – offering farmers a unified solution for measuring their sustainability performance and operational efficiency.
This integration is made possible through Field to Market’s Fieldprint Application Programming Interface, which connects sustainability metrics and algorithms from the Fieldprint Platform directly into The Seam’s software solutions. This allows farmers to assess the environmental performance of their management practices against regional, state and national benchmarks for key sustainability indicators.
“We are proud to be recognized as a Qualified Data Management Partner by Field to Market,” said Mark Pryor, Chief Executive Officer at The Seam. “Through this integration, we can provide producers with enhanced, science-based tools that are simple and streamlined for continuous, overall improvement in sustainable farming.”
The Seam’s first deployment of the technology is for the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, in collaboration with the National Cotton Council of America. The farmer-friendly platform allows U.S. cotton farmers to assess and verify production practices, environmental footprint and progress measurement toward long-term sustainability goals. The platform includes a mass-balance chain of custody model and a bale registration and verification process that digitally links cotton production to the producer’s sustainability profile.
Using the common measurement framework of the Fieldprint Platform, farmers can document and demonstrate their sustainability performance. This outcomes-based and metrics-driven sustainability measurement platform is supported by nearly 140 organizations across the food and agriculture industry.
“By combining Field to Market’s sustainability metrics and algorithms with The Seam’s software solutions, farmers can simultaneously evaluate productivity, profitability and sustainability outcomes as part of their planning process,” said Rod Snyder, President of Field to Market. “This integration provides farmers with a robust analysis of their environmental performance at their fingertips, which is underpinned by the industry’s most accepted and recognized sustainability measurement framework.”
