DYRT · Earth Systems — powered by Vorterra

The operating system
for living land.

DYRT installs one complete system across your ground — the STACK. It starts with a Stewardship Score, then integrates Vorterra water, living-soil bio-enhancers, carbon capture, and plasma-made nitrogen and power. Every drop, every microbe, every ton of carbon — measured and made to pay.

Your food depends on two things we cannot afford to lose. 01 Freshwater: every harvest begins with water — about 70% of global freshwater withdrawals are used by agriculture; water stress puts harvests under pressure. 02 Living soil: the foundation is wearing away — losing soil means losing productive capacity. Why it matters: food security, farm viability, resilience to drought.

01The STACK

The STACK — one complete
system for living land.

Everything DYRT installs is one integrated system — the STACK. It starts with a baseline Stewardship Score, then layers in the technologies that move the needle: Vorterra water, living-soil bio-enhancers, carbon capture, and plasma-made nitrogen and power. Five integrated layers. One system.

The STACK by DYRT — five layers, one system
Layer 01 · Baseline START HERE

Stewardship Score

Every acre is measured first — soil, carbon, water, and energy — so every gain that follows is quantified, reproducible, and bankable. The score is the starting point and the scoreboard.

01
Layer 02 · Water

Vorterra

Inline water optimization — more crop per drop and guaranteed acre-foot savings, verified in the meter.

02
Layer 03 · Living soil

Bio-enhancers

Natural fertilizers and biologicals that rebuild the carbon-rich fungal and bacterial network — soil that feeds the crop and holds its own water.

03
Layer 04 · Credits

Carbon

Verified soil-organic-carbon gains become high-integrity credits — on Alfarm, enough to fund the entire program and return a profit.

04
Layer 05 · Nitrogen + Power

Plasma

Air, water, and electricity into clean nitrogen and on-farm energy — the first plasma-activated water platform to market in the U.S.

05
One system · four wins

A win for the farmer, the consumer, the country, and the planet — at once.

The Farmer wins

Water saved, inputs cut, and new carbon & energy revenue — the program pays for itself and turns a profit.

The Consumer wins

Nutrient-dense, clean, resilient food grown in living soil with less water and no fossil-fuel fertilizer.

The Country wins

Food, water, and energy security — nitrogen and hydrogen made at home, on the farm, not shipped from abroad.

The Planet wins

Carbon drawn down, freshwater conserved, and soil, microbes, and watersheds restored — at scale.

02Returns

Five ways the STACK shows up
in your books.

Water saved

More than an acre-foot per acre targeted — a direct cut to pumping and delivery cost, and headroom when allocations tighten.

Fertilizer offset

On-site, plant-available nitrogen trims one of your largest input bills — and your exposure to the fertilizer market.

Carbon income

Verified soil-organic-carbon gains become high-integrity credits — a new, durable revenue line for stewardship you already do.

Energy & hydrogen

Clean hydrogen and kilowatts from air and water — plus what you send back to the grid — turn the farm into an energy asset and a new revenue line.

Resilience

Ground that holds water and life rides out drought and price swings — and opens the door to resilience and supply contracts.

01Stewardship Score
Prove it · get paid for outcomes

One number that shows your ground is getting better.

The DYRT Powered by Vorterra Stewardship Score fuses soil health, carbon, and water into a single crop-neutral 0–100 index — measured the same way across every crop, reproducible from your own lab and meter data, and built to feed outcomes-based programs and lenders. Watch it climb, season over season.

02Vorterra

At the core of every STACK: Vorterra.

Vorterra

A passive, inline water-optimization technology — a flanged spool that installs in your existing line with no moving parts and no power draw. It changes how water behaves so your crop takes up more of every drop, and carries the plasma-activated chemistry that feeds soil and plant at once.

  • More crop per drop. Higher yield on measurably less applied water — the change shows up in your meter.
  • Less fertilizer. Plant-available nitrogen generated on-site, trimming input cost and footprint.
  • Nothing to babysit. No moving parts, no maintenance cycle — it works in the line, season after season.
  • Independently trialed. Evaluated on real ground, tracked field by field.

03Bio-enhancers

Natural fertilizers that wake the soil up.

Decades of tillage and synthetic chemistry broke the living network under our feet. DYRT’s bio-enhancers — biological inoculants and natural, plant-available nutrients — rebuild the fungal and bacterial web that feeds crops, stores carbon, and holds water. Fewer synthetic inputs, more living soil.

  • Biological inoculants — reintroduce mycorrhizae and beneficial bacteria to dead ground.
  • Plant-available nutrients — natural nutrition, not synthetic salts that leach and burn.
  • Carbon-rich soil — the same living network that stores carbon and holds every drop of water.

04Carbon

The stewardship that pays for itself.

On Alfarm Global, verified soil-carbon credits generated enough revenue to cover the entire program cost — and returned additional profit on top. The carbon your ground stores doesn’t just heal the planet; it funds the whole system and pays the grower.

05Plasma

Nitrogen and power, from air and water.

The final layer closes the loop. DYRT’s plasma technology — the first plasma-activated water platform to market in the United States — turns air, water, and electricity into clean, plant-available nitrogen and on-farm energy. No fossil-fuel fertilizer. No imported ammonia. Made where it’s used.

02Below The Surface

What actually happens
in living ground.

One field, one system. Vorterra conditions the water in the line; the crop takes up more of every drop; the root zone comes alive; and carbon starts to stay. Here is that ecosystem, at work.

Mycelial network threading through living soil

Living soil is a carbon asset that holds its own water.

Rebuild the microbial network and two things compound at once: the ground stores more carbon, and it holds more water — a measurable, verifiable, sellable dividend that grows every season.

Ground Zero · Arizona

Arizona is where the water crisis
stops being abstract.

The Colorado River sits at its lowest since 1957, and Arizona is absorbing the largest cuts of any state — with agriculture, roughly 70% of the state’s water use, first in line. Beneath the surface, groundwater is being drawn down faster than it refills. This is the front line DYRT was built for: sourcing proven, field-tested solutions — Vorterra at the core — and integrating them onto real Arizona ground, so a grower can turn the water down without turning the yield down.

LumenVorterra Water · Nutrient Density Platform

The measure of
what’s actually in the food.

The STACK regenerates the ground. Lumen is the platform we’re launching to measure — and create — the most nutrient-dense food in the world. A reflectometer reading becomes a single score, the Lumen Density Index (LDI), and every crop lands on one leaderboard that growers and buyers can trust.

1 · Scan

The Our Sci reflectometer reads ten light channels on crop and soil, right in the field — no lab needed to start.

2 · Score

Four pillars roll into one number: the LDI. A field score first, then a lab-verified certified grade.

3 · Rank

Every lot lands on the leaderboard. Growers compete on density; buyers source the best.

A grower loads a crop or soil sample and scans it on the spot — no lab trip to start. The device fires ten light channels and reads what bounces back: the raw signal behind every Lumen score.
