Fieldprint Projects
Driving Measurable Impact Through Collaboration
Fieldprint Projects bring organizations together around shared measurement, turning farm-level insights into scalable sustainable, and regenerative progress across the value chain. Projects are run in the Fieldprint Platform, where participants enroll acres, run analyses, and generate project reporting.
Measure
Measure outcomes at the field level using industry-recognized environmental indicators
Benchmark & Improve
Benchmark & improve environmental outcomes by tracking progress over time.
Report
Report with confidence using aggregated results designed for credible communication.
What is a Fieldprint Project?
A Framework for Collaboration and Continuous Improvement
What a Fieldprint Project Is
A Fieldprint Project is a structured initiative, run within the Fieldprint Platform, and an industry-recognized framework to work with farmers and partners to credibly enhance the adoption of sustainable and regenerative agriculture practices.
What Fieldprint Projects enable
Measure
Turn farm-level data into outcomes in the Fieldprint Platform across eight environmental indicators.
Benchmark
Compare results to relevant baselines and local benchmarks.
Improve
Identify areas for improvement and prioritize actions that support measurable progress.
Report
Use aggregated results to support credible sustainability communications and reporting, helping you meet your responsible business goals.
Project Pathways
Choose the Pathway That Matches Your Goals and Level of Support
Fieldprint Projects are designed and implemented through one of three Project Pathways. Each pathway supports sustainable and regenerative outcomes, with increasing levels of measurement and transparency for practice adoption.
Incubation
Incubation projects create enabling conditions by engaging growers on the connection between practices and at least one sustainable and/or regenerative outcome targeted in Field to Market’s program.

The Continuous Improvement Process
Our 5-Step Process
This process is managed through the Member Portal, where projects are registered, progress is tracked annually, and updates are shared through the Project Directory. The Fieldprint Platform is then used to process data and generate indicator results that support reporting and insights.
- Select project pathway
- Define project geography
- Identify relevant natural resource concern
- Identify project supply chain partners
- Confirm project partner(s)
- Register the project
- Describe continuous improvement goals, objectives, and strategies
- Implement continuous improvement strategies
- Track and report progress annually
- Practice adaptive management
- Conduct project-level evaluation
- Evaluate metric results to demonstrate impact
- Use the Claims Protocol (participation, adoption, measurement, trend and impact) to communicate project outcomes
Our Framework for Credibility & Governance
Built On a Foundation of Trust and Scientific Rigor
Explore the standards, processes, and safeguards that support consistency and integrity across every Fieldprint Project, ensuring tracking is comparable, transparent, aligned with global environmental frameworks, and designed to drive measurable agriculture outcomes and document improvement over time.
The Fieldprint Project Standard
What It Is
The Project Standard defines the requirements for establishing and operating a Fieldprint Project, ensuring consistent implementation, appropriate data handling, and credible aggregated outputs.
Key Requirements
- Be led by full members of Field to Market
- Have multi-stakeholder participation
- Give a public commitment to sustainable agriculture by registering in our Fieldprint Project Directory
- Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based) Objectives for their project
- Develop a Continuous Improvement Plan (A Project-based plan for improvement in environmental outcomes over time that includes goals and objective(s) relevant to addressing the identified natural resource concerns and a grower engagement plan that considers outreach, engagement, support, and retention over the length of the project.)
- Commit to tracking progress and providing annual updates for each year the project is active
- Take place in the Continental US, focusing on a grain-shed, supplier shed, watershed, county state, or multi-state region
- Enroll at least 10 growers for project level benchmarks
- Focus on agricultural improvements for Field to Market supported crops and indicators
- Choose one of our project pathways detailed above
- Insight and Innovation projects must use the Fieldprint Platform directly via the Fieldprint Calculator or with a data management partner to measure Field to Market’s 8 environmental outcomes.
The Claims Framework
What It Is
The Claims Framework explains what types of statements can be made based on project participation and data, helping ensure communications are accurate, consistent, and grounded in outcomes and improvements.
Common Claim Types
- Participation/adoption claims:
Based on involvement in projects, collaborations, or improvement efforts - Measurement claims:
Based on measured, aggregated outcomes tied to sustainability indicators - Trends/impact claims:
Focused on progress over time, learning, and improvement trajectories
FAQ
Projects must be led by a full Field to Market member who coordinates participants and manages scope, and follows the Project Standard requirements.
Projects rely on farm-level inputs to calculate environmental indicators and benchmarks.
Project claims can be submitted for consideration by project participants in adherence to the Claims Framework guidance.
Assurance expectations depend on the project design and the intended use of reporting/communications, and is not mandatory. Some projects include third-party review as part of their credibility approach.
Fieldprint Projects operate on farms, where data is collected at the field level. That data is then processed within the Fieldprint Platform using the assessment framework to calculate metrics and generate indicator results. This enables aggregated reporting and insights, supporting the tracking of sustainability progress over time.
Fieldprint Projects may include independent assurance processes, such as third-party review of project documentation and reporting. This helps ensure results are consistent and comparable, supporting credible communication of measured sustainability progress and supply chain sustainability results.
The Fieldprint Platform is available for anyone to use, free of charge. The tool is also available through data management partners, embedded as a value-added service to their farm management software. Some of these data partners may charge a fee to access their software. Only full members can register and lead Fieldprint Projects.
