Fieldprint Project Claims

Field to Market enables our members to make credible claims about advancing progress and impact through Field to Market Fieldprint Projects. Claims are available for Fieldprint Projects that meet the requirements of the Fieldprint Project Standard and are in good standing.

Claims are enabled for projects at various stages of operation in the field. In order to make claims, a Field to Market member or licensee must be in good standing and the project must demonstrate compliance with Field to Market Fieldprint Project Reporting Requirements. While not an explicit requirement, it is highly recommended that projects enroll a minimum of ten growers to preserve the anonymity of growers when reporting project metric results. Common uses of claims, including eligible pathways for each type of claim are listed in the table below.

For more information on claims, please consult the Understanding Claims Quick Starter Guide. Use this guide to submit a claim through our online process.

Step 1: Access Member Portal

• To begin, log into your Field to Market member account with your email address and password. If you have trouble logging in, please follow the prompts or reach out to support@fieldtomarket.org.

Step 2: Navigate to the Claims Submission Form

• Navigate to the Project Guidance Section of the Learning Center to find the Claims Form.

Step 3: Complete the Claim Form (Section 1) for all Claim Requests

• Type the project for which you are submitting the claims request.
• Indicate the type of claim you are requesting. Please note that this form does not need to be completed for Participation Claims (statement or assertation of participation in a Field to Market Fieldprint Project by a Field to Market member organization or licensee, which may also include the number of acres and growers enrolled in the project). To submit a Participation Claim for review, please email claims@fieldtomarket.org.
  • Measurement Claim: A static, one-year snapshot of aggregated annual metric performance
  • Adoption Claim: Related to the uptake of a specific practice or intervention in the context of a Fieldprint Project
  • Trend Claim: Interim directional improvement for Field to Market metrics
  • Impact Claim: Sustained improvement in environmental outcomes within a Fieldprint Project
• Indicate how many growers and acres there are, as well as the grower retention rate, for the claim.

• Confirm that weighted averages were used if the claim is related to changes in average metric outcomes (Trend or Impact Claims). If weighted averages were not used, describe the methodology. If not applicable for your claim, select ‘None.’
• If you used any additional methodologies for calculations related to the claims, please describe them in the text box.
• Indicate verification level.
  • First Party: Farmer-entered data
  • Second Party: Implementation partner checked farmer data or QDMP
  • Third Party: Person outside of the project verified data. A third-party verification is required for projects that seek to make an Impact Claim.
• Upload any supporting documentation. For First- or Second-Party Verification, please attach any relevant charts or spreadsheets that show data analysis. For projects that wish to use a Third-Party Verified Badge, please attach an audit summary.

Step 4: Complete Impact Claim Section (Only for Impact Claims)

Move to step 5, if not submitting an Impact Claim.

• Indicate:
  • The baseline you established for aggregated metric outcomes you wish to quantify a change over time.
  • Improvement trends shown from the collected data.
  • If you employed sampling.
• Select how you wish to use the Impact Claim.
• Upload files to indicate the top-line conclusions of your independent, third-party verification and provide accompanying documentation.

Step 5: Submit Claim

Please allow 3 to 5 business days for the review of your claim. If you need to make a change to your submitted request, please email claims@fieldtomarket.org.
