Basalt. Soil. Longevity. Carbon Removal Readiness.
A Mediterranean field pilot connecting basalt remineralization, regenerative agriculture, longevity crops and MRV-ready carbon-removal research.
A real field project, not an abstract GreenFi story.
TarCasso Field Lab is a Mediterranean pilot site in Cassacco, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, designed to test basalt-based soil remineralization, regenerative agriculture and MRV-ready carbon-removal research.
The site covers approximately 21,000 m², divided into 10 agricultural parcels. This structure allows the project to test different crops, basalt application rates, soil responses and field-documentation methods.
The project is operated by TarCasso and connected to the Flour Yield Ecosphere, with Balkan Basalt as the basalt material partner and potential ERW knowledge partners supporting field design and MRV readiness.
10 parcels. Controlled trials. Visible field data.
The field is designed as a practical pilot, not a laboratory claim. Each parcel can be documented separately by crop, basalt dosage, soil response and yield.
Control Parcels
One or two parcels remain untreated to compare crop and soil development without basalt.
0 t/ha basaltStandard Application
Several parcels receive a standard application to test practical agronomic benefits.
20 t/ha basaltHigher-Dosage Trial
Selected parcels test whether a higher basalt dosage creates measurable differences.
30 t/ha basaltDemo Parcels
Dedicated parcels for visitor communication, photos, drone footage and FYT storytelling.
Field showcaseEach parcel becomes a documented field unit.
The 10-parcel structure allows TarCasso Field Lab to compare crops, basalt dosages and soil responses in a transparent and repeatable way.
| Parcel | Crop Focus | Basalt Application | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC-P01 | Tomatoes / reference crop | 0 t/ha | Control parcel |
| TC-P02 | Chili / reference crop | 0 t/ha | Control parcel |
| TC-P03 | Tomatoes | 20 t/ha | Standard tomato trial |
| TC-P04 | Chili | 20 t/ha | Standard chili trial |
| TC-P05 | Mediterranean herbs | 20 t/ha | Crop diversification trial |
| TC-P06 | Mixed vegetables | 20 t/ha | Practical farming trial |
| TC-P07 | Tomatoes | 30 t/ha | Higher-dosage tomato trial |
| TC-P08 | Chili | 30 t/ha | Higher-dosage chili trial |
| TC-P09 | Mixed longevity crops | 20–30 t/ha | Demonstration parcel |
| TC-P10 | Tomato / chili / herbs showcase | 20–30 t/ha | FYT / TarCasso communication parcel |
Remineralizing the soil, one parcel at a time.
Basalt rock powder may support soil remineralization by adding mineral components that can contribute to soil health, plant resilience and long-term fertility.
In the TarCasso Field Lab, basalt is not treated as a marketing symbol. It is treated as a measurable field input: source, batch, particle size, chemical profile, delivery, application rate and parcel-level response should be documented.
Basalt documentation should include:
- Origin and batch documentation
- Chemical and mineralogical composition
- Particle-size distribution
- Heavy-metal profile
- Transport and application data
- Parcel-level application quantity
Potential, not promises.
TarCasso Field Lab is designed as an MRV-ready carbon-removal pilot. It does not currently issue certified carbon credits.
Any carbon-removal estimate depends on basalt chemistry, particle size, soil conditions, lifecycle emissions, weathering rates, monitoring methodology and third-party verification. The Field Lab is designed to collect better data before making stronger claims.
From GreenFi concept to field reality.
The TarCasso Field Lab shows that FYT can be connected to real-world basalt deployment, agricultural activity, soil data and regenerative field documentation.
FYT should not be positioned as a carbon-credit token or a CO₂-backed asset. Its role is to support and document utility within the Flour Yield Ecosphere: basalt use, farmer participation, field updates, green commerce and future incentive mechanisms.
Built as a cross-partner field hub.
TarCasso Field Lab is designed to bring together land, basalt, field data, regenerative agriculture and ecosystem utility.
TarCasso
Land operator, local project identity, Mediterranean longevity brand and field documentation hub.
Flour Yield / FYT
Ecosystem and utility layer connecting basalt deployment with real-world Proof-of-Utility.
Balkan Basalt
Basalt material partner providing the physical input for soil remineralization trials.
ERW Knowledge Partners
Potential technical partners supporting field design, MRV readiness and carbon-removal discipline.
Follow the field, not the hype.
The Field Lab will document key milestones: parcel mapping, soil baseline, basalt delivery, application, planting, growth, harvest and data updates.
Parcel Mapping
10 parcels documented with field IDs and layout plan.
Soil Baseline
Initial soil data collected before basalt application.
Basalt Deployment
Basalt batch, delivery and application rates recorded.
Crop & Yield Data
Tomatoes, chili and other crops tracked across the season.
Project Note
TarCasso Field Lab is a pilot project for regenerative agriculture, basalt-based soil remineralization and MRV-ready carbon-removal research. It does not currently issue certified carbon credits. Any carbon-removal estimates are indicative and subject to feedstock analysis, lifecycle accounting, MRV and third-party verification.
FYT is a utility token within the Flour Yield Ecosphere. FYT does not represent ownership of carbon credits, land, crops or project revenues. The Field Lab is designed as a real-world Proof-of-Utility pilot, not as an investment product or carbon-credit sales platform.
Where the Flour Yield thesis becomes field reality.
Basalt is applied. Soil is measured. Crops are grown. Data is collected. FYT gains a real-world Proof-of-Utility.
