MORRISON, Ill., June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Merge Impact, the most comprehensive data solution helping farmers and brands build ethical, sustainable, and transparent food systems, announced BEE: Biodiversity & Ecosystems Evaluation (BEE), a new solution taking another vital step toward a completely sustainable, transparent, independently verified supply chain from farmer to food brand to consumer. Through BEE, Merge Impact will work with regenerative and organic farms to measure biodiversity metrics, such as species and habitat density, and provide each farm with a biodiversity score. Using these initial results as a baseline, Merge Impact will provide tailored recommendations about how to further increase biodiversity and then continue tracking progress, ultimately connecting the farm to food brands and supply chain managers seeking ingredients, crops, and animal products with transparent, easily verifiable biodiversity impact metrics.

Key Points: 
  • Through BEE, Merge Impact will work with regenerative and organic farms to measure biodiversity metrics, such as species and habitat density, and provide each farm with a biodiversity score.
  • As the premiere client of BEE, A-Frame Farm, which supplies ingredients to top food brands such as Simple Mills and Lil Bucks, will work with Merge Impact to increase overall biodiversity.
  • “The more diverse a farm ecosystem is, the better chance it has to survive,” said Luke Peterson of A-Frame Farm.
