New AI-powered program streamlines access to conservation funding and unlocks significant revenue potential for growers
Westfield, IN, December 10, 2024 — Taranis, a global leader in AI-powered crop intelligence, announces the launch of Taranis Conservation™, an innovative solution that streamlines access to conservation funding for growers. By addressing common barriers such as limited program awareness and navigating requirement complexities, Taranis Conservation accelerates the process, enabling growers to unlock significant financial potential while advancing sustainability.
Combining detailed crop intelligence data with expert conservation planning, Taranis Conservation is uniquely positioned to help growers stay ahead of market and regulatory trends. This program aligns with key provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and supports growers in accessing USDA programs facilitated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
“With increased funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, growers have more opportunities than ever,” said Opher Flohr, Taranis CEO. “Funding grows to $9.5 billion in 2025 and $11 billion in 2026, offering unprecedented support through programs like Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP), and 45Z tax credits. Taranis Conservation empowers growers to navigate these opportunities with ease, combining advanced crop intelligence with expert guidance to maximize both financial and environmental outcomes—having the potential to more than double a grower’s net profit in today’s challenging agricultural economy.”
Taranis Conservation™ is the service for program enrollment that leverages Taranis Intelligence™ to streamline conservation planning and automate practice verification and reporting. Offering expert guidance, Taranis Conservation helps growers adopt practices such as pest and nutrient management, no-till or reduced tillage, cover cropping, and crop rotation. Its automated application process reduces the time required by nearly 75%, providing unprecedented speed and efficiency in securing funding. By integrating detailed crop intelligence data, Taranis facilitates access to funding through advanced pest management practices.
Leading this initiative is Tom Buman, Taranis’ newly appointed Director of Sustainability, who brings more than 30 years of expertise in conservation programming and implementation. “Many farmers are unaware of the vast opportunities available through NRCS-facilitated programs,” said Buman. “Taranis Conservation simplifies the process, connecting growers with these resources and reducing the burden of implementation.”
Program Highlights:
“Conservation practices are more than a path to funding—they’re a strategic advantage for growers,” said Pablo Bruzzoni, Vice President of Customer Success and Agronomy. “By eliminating barriers and unlocking advanced pest management opportunities, we’re helping farmers build a more sustainable and profitable future.”
