Advancing the regenerative agenda through remote sensing

Our world-leading science MRV software uses ground-truth data, satellites, AI and deep tech to enable scalable detection.

MRV is indispensable for carbon and ecosystem markets.

With an overwhelming need to scale regenerative agriculture, monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) is the critical capability for any platform or corporate committed to being part of the solution.

Carbon markets

Verify farm data for carbon certification

Agri-food corporates

Monitor supply chains, build traceability and enable monetisation of ecosystem services

Regulators

Verify farm practices for subsidy programmes

NGOs

Monitor practices for water quality risk management

Remote sensing offers a scalable and reliable approach to detecting key metrics, including regenerative agriculture principles such as cover crops, no till and crop rotations.

Cover crop detection

One of the most important sustainable agriculture management practices, cover crops improve soil structure, reduce erosion and runoff risk, and sequester carbon in the soil. We can detect cover crops from satellite by analysing vegetation indices during the non-growing season, enabling stakeholders in the agrifood chain or water resource management to monitor and verify the prevalence of cover crops over large areas.

Tillage detection

Minimising soil disturbance and retaining crop residue on the soil surface is another vital component of regenerative agriculture, improving soil structure and mitigating carbon emissions. We can classify different types of tillage practice, such as no-till, min-till and conventional tillage, by analysing the percentage of reflectance at key wavelength bands in the near-infrared and shortwave-infrared spectral zones.

Crop rotation detection

Applying our crop type classification models to analyse geospatial and temporal trends in crop types enables us to identify crop rotations and diversity. This allows users to monitor these management practices at large scale, as a component of sustainable agriculture verification or supply chain vision.
