Chapter synopsis: This chapter explores the digital tools for assessing soil organic carbon at farm and regional scale. It first reviews monitoring, reporting and verification frameworks, which is then followed by a discussion of the sampling strategies that can be used for soil organic carbon estimation. A section on data source integration is also provided, followed by a review of the effects of moisture on soil colour. The chapter also examines model calibration, proximal sensing, tools and frameworks available for soil organic carbon estimation.
