Claim 14:
15. A system for monitoring implementation and maintenance of regenerative management practices in agricultural parcels, the system comprising:
a CO2E sequestration server, comprising a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory, configured to execute an application program disposed in said memory comprising a plurality of code segments, the plurality of code segments comprising:
a CO2E management processor, configured to determine first baseline management practices for a first agricultural parcel and build first simulation inputs that correspond to said first baseline management practices, and configured to determine regenerative management practices for said first agricultural parcel and build second simulation inputs that correspond to said regenerative management practices, wherein said regenerative management practices comprise regenerative tillage practices to improve carbon sequestration;
a crop simulation processor, configured to employ said first simulation inputs to simulate crop growth for said first agricultural parcel fora prescribed number of growing seasons to generate first outputs, and configured to employ said second simulation inputs to simulate crop growth for said first agricultural parcel for said prescribed number of growing seasons to generate second outputs;
a CO2E determination processor, configured to employ said first outputs to compute first average yearly greenhouse gas emissions components and aggregate said first average yearly greenhouse gas emissions components to yield baseline annual carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, and configured to employ said second outputs to compute second average yearly greenhouse gas emissions components and aggregate said second average yearly greenhouse gas emissions components to yield regenerative annual carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, and configured to subtract said baseline annual carbon dioxide equivalent emissions from said regenerative annual carbon dioxide equivalent emissions to yield a first regenerative carbon footprint for the first agricultural parcel;
a client communications processor, configured to communications from a client device indicating acceptance of an offer to implement offered regenerative management practices for said first agricultural parcel; and
a remote sense processor, configured to:
employ remote sensing at a corresponding frequency to infer implementation of said regenerative management practices, wherein:
images having missing data above a prescribed quality threshold are removed;
images having missing data below the prescribed quality threshold are retained;
images not missing data that are time-adjacent to the retained images having missing data are processed by estimating the missing data of the retained images having missing data using the images not missing data that are time-adjacent; and
for a given image of images not missing data and the retained images having missing data that was estimated, relevant spectral bands of said given image are combined to generate composite vegetative indices for subparts of said first agricultural parcel; and

determine that the inferred implementation of the regenerative management practices is compliant with the offered regenerative management practices of the offer;
in response to determining that the inferred implementation of the regenerative management practices is compliant with the offered regenerative management practices of the offer, configured to:
direct said client communications processor to transmit an indication of compliance to a purchaser of carbon credits; and
transmit signals that cause payment of an incentive corresponding to said offer for implementing the regenerative management practices.
