Estimate farm impact before you make claims.

The Kokonut Impact Calculator helps farm founders, DAO members, grant reviewers, contributors, and partners explore how a regenerative farm scenario may translate into SDG alignment, revenue potential, public goods allocation, and evidence requirements. Use it as a planning tool, not as certified proof. The calculator helps you ask better questions; Kokonut’s MRV workflow is what turns farm activity into verifiable evidence.

Built for scenario design, proposal drafting, farm planning, public goods reporting, and impact review.

Calculator outputs are indicative estimates. They are not financial advice, investment returns, certified carbon credits, audited SDG outcomes, or guaranteed farm results. Actual performance depends on land conditions, weather, execution, crop survival, market prices, governance, and data quality.

What this calculator helps you do

User	What you can use it for	Best next step
Farm founder	Estimate how land size, crops, labor, and practices affect the impact story.	Convert the scenario into a farm proposal
DAO member	Review whether a proposal’s impact assumptions are directionally reasonable.	Compare scenario outputs with MRV evidence
Grant reviewer	Understand how a farm connects to SDGs and public goods	Inspect the Data Hub and reports
Impact contributor	Identify what data needs to be measured, reported, and verified	Help improve MRV workflows
Developer or agent builder	See which assumptions become useful inputs for scoring or simulation	Connect calculator logic to structured farm records

The calculator is most useful when paired with the Common Data Schema, MRV Methodology, and a live farm reference such as Adelphi.

How the calculator fits into Kokonut

The calculator sits before verification. It helps estimate what might happen if a farm follows certain assumptions. MRV then checks what actually happened.

Calculator

Start by loading the Adelphi baseline if available, then adjust land size, crop mix, worker count, and regenerative practices to compare a new farm scenario against Kokonut’s first live reference farm.

What the calculator estimates

Output	What it means	What verifies it later
SDG alignment	A directional view of how the farm may contribute to selected SDGs	Field records, harvest data, employment records, training logs, SDG reporting
Revenue potential	Estimated production value based on crop and area assumptions	Actual harvest records, sales records, buyer agreements, Data Hub entries
Public goods allocation	Estimated portion of farm value that may support public goods	DAO proposal terms, treasury records, allocation reports
Job signal	Approximate employment or work-creation potential	Payroll records, role logs, contributor records, and local reporting
Climate co-benefit	A planning signal for soil, biomass, and carbon-related potential	Soil data, vegetation indices, biochar records, methodology-specific MRV
Verification needs	The evidence required before claims should be used publicly	MRV payloads, IPFS records, EAS attestations, annual reports

What the calculator does not prove

The calculator does not prove that a farm has already produced an impact. It does not certify:

carbon credits or carbon removals
guaranteed crop yield
guaranteed revenue
investment returns
Final SDG achievement
legal compliance
organic certification
farm success

It creates a structured starting point for discussion, proposal review, and evidence planning.

How assumptions should be handled

Assumption type	Safe use	Risk if overstated
Land size	Use for planning production capacity	Land may not all be usable or irrigated
Crop mix	Use to compare short, medium, and long-cycle revenue potential	Crop survival, disease, pests, and weather can change outcomes
Revenue rates	Use as scenario assumptions, preferably from Adelphi forecast data	Market prices and buyer access can change quickly
Public goods share	Use only if the farm proposal commits to it	Allocation is not real until governed and reported
Jobs	Use as a planning signal	Actual employment depends on budget, season, and operations
Carbon or climate	Treat it as a co-benefit until the methodology and MRV support it	Unsupported carbon claims can become greenwashing
SDG scores	Use to guide measurement priorities	SDG alignment is not the same as verified impact

SDG 13 should be treated as a climate co-benefit unless a farm has a complete carbon methodology, baseline, monitoring plan, and verification workflow. Kokonut should avoid presenting carbon as a guaranteed result before evidence exists.

How every number should become evidence

The calculator becomes useful when its assumptions are converted into measurable events.

Calculator input or output	Evidence to collect	Where it belongs
Farm area	Polygon, GPS boundaries, land-use map	Common Data Schema and Data Hub
Crop mix	Planting records, crop cycle logs, density assumptions	Farm Registry and harvest forecast
Harvest estimates	Harvest logs, sales records, loss rates, and photos	Data Hub and annual reports
Labor or jobs	Role records, payroll notes, contributor logs	DAO reports and SDG reporting
Biochar or soil practices	Input logs, soil readings, and field observations	MRV payloads
Vegetation health	NDVI, NDRE, ReCI, MSAVI, drone imagery	MRV and Data Hub
Public goods allocation	Proposal terms, treasury transfers, and reporting	DAO governance and public reports

This is the intended relationship:

Recommended workflow

Start with the calculator

Create a rough scenario using land size, crop mix, workers, and regenerative practices.

Write down the assumptions

Record which numbers are based on Adelphi, which are local estimates, and which still need validation.

Map assumptions to the Common Data Schema

Turn the scenario into a comparable farm record that includes location, land size, funding needs, crops, governance, public goods allocation, and market assumptions.

Define MRV requirements

Decide which soil, satellite, harvest, field, and financial records will be needed before the farm can make public impact claims.

Compare estimates against actuals

Once the farm is active, update projections using live Data Hub records, MRV events, and annual reports.

How to read the result

If the calculator shows…	Interpret it as…	Do next
High SDG alignment	A strong planning hypothesis	Identify evidence needed for each SDG
High revenue potential	A promising economic scenario	Verify prices, buyers, crop cycles, and loss rates
High public goods allocation	A possible community benefit	Confirm it through DAO proposal terms
Strong climate co-benefit	A reason to collect better ecological data	Do not claim carbon impact until verified
Low score in one category	A design gap	Adjust crop mix, labor plan, training, or MRV scope

Common Data Schema

The 13-field farm record makes calculator assumptions comparable across farms.
