Ecological Outcome Verification: Monitoring and Training
🌱 Gain Deeper Insights into Your Land’s Health
What is Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV)?
Ecological Outcome Verification (EOV) is a science-based, outcome-focused monitoring protocol developed by the Savory Institute. It provides land stewards and producers actionable insights into the ecological health of their land.
EOV evaluates holistic indicators—like soil health, biodiversity, water infiltration, and carbon storage—giving you clear data to inform your land management choices.
