About

Climate resiliency is the key to building the crop supply chain of the future. However, our food supply chain is critically vulnerable to shocks. Many top crop-producing countries are among the most vulnerable to climate change. By some estimates, in the absence of effective adaptation, global yields could decline by up to 30 percent by 2050. As the world is currently lagging substantially behind the 1.5℃ target of the Paris Agreement, it’s quite clear that major steps are needed to be taken to ensure food supply chain sustainability not only at the farm level but also pre- and post-farm gate. We have identified that post-farm-gate organizations are in need of improved field data collection and field operations management for: -Increased farmer yields and profitability -Reduced crop supply costs -Mitigating crop yield risks -Improved sustainability, including regulatory compliance -Improved cross-department reporting & ERP and FMIS integrations One of the crucial allies in agriculture that has the potential to be better utilized for climate resiliency is field agronomists. They work at any organization that directly works with farmers, including cooperatives, crop input companies, contract buyers, and more. Their job is to help farmers ensure high yields that will benefit both the buying company and the farmer. One big issue they face is collecting data & managing vast farmlands. Without proper tools, data gets lost, on-ground support is delayed, risks materialize, and farmers are not optimally supported. We help agronomists and other field operators at any post-farm-gate organization collect rich field data & manage complex tasks. We have a core remote-sensing and AI backed engine in our digital platform that: -detects and delineates farm fields -detects crops -detects crop rotation history -estimates crop yield per hectare -detects harvest progress -forecasts seasonal climate variances -measures daily crop biomass growth -estimates daily crop water stress -validates EU deforestation compliance of the farms and the regions of interest. Using the same platform, we enable field agronomists of our customer organizations to collect and input customizable field data, including farmer demography, crop input recipes used per farm, photos taken, data from contracts, notes, and more. Combining remotely sensed data with field data, our platform helps: -optimize field force with better managed field tasks, -mitigate crop supply risks with proactive intervention, -highlights the risks of your crop supply portfolio, -improve farmer communication, -integrate geospatially derived data into your ERP & FMIS systems in-use -report the performance of field teams Our platform has a SaaS subscription model per user, which has tiers per number of users, farmlands under management, and requested features. Moreover, as we are able to assess the climate risks of your portfolio, we assure any remaining crop supply risks with tailor-made parametric insurance products. We are backed by top-rated global insurers & reinsurers. With their backing, we offer satellite-driven parametric yield insurance, a first-of-its-kind crop yield insurance that protects customer organizations and their farmers against crop yield loss. How does it work? -The business model is B2B or B2B2Farmer -The policyholder is the organization itself, the farmer, or a mixture of both -Insures against all perils for crop yield loss -50% lower cost & better protection than alternatives As a result, we offer comprehensive risk & sustainability management solutions on a single digital platform.
