About Arva Intelligence

Arva is an environmental intelligence engine linking agriculture and the corporations that depend on it - supporting profitable farms, resilient supply chains, and defensible reporting. Our AI optimization engine is fed by primary field-level data and grounded in foundational scientific models, helping global brands, biofuel producers, and carbon buyers turn regenerative agriculture into a supply chain advantage by reducing emissions, de-risking supply, and improving soil health. The result is verified, audit-ready outcomes for Scope 3 emission reductions, biofuel credits, and carbon dioxide removals (CDRs). From farmer enrollment and compensation, to measurement, verification, and audit-ready delivery, Arva runs the full program for the clients we serve. Since 2023, we've helped farmers regenerate more than 4.4 million acres across nine countries, reducing carbon emissions by 3.4 million metric tonnes of CO₂e and returning more than $100 million to the farmers who did the work. Founded by farmers, rooted in a decade of field research, and built on models co-developed with the US Department of Energy, Arva is uniquely positioned to turn regenerative agriculture into the global standard.
