Problem
Agricultural activities are a major driver of land conversion, leading to significant carbon emissions and environmental impacts. Stakeholders in agricultural value chains often lack access to precise, high-resolution data on land conversion emissions, hindering their ability to make informed decisions and mitigate environmental risks.
Solution
AdAstra Sustainability provides Orbae, a geospatial data science platform that calculates land conversion emissions from agricultural activities at a 30-meter resolution globally. The platform offers stakeholders in agricultural value chains detailed insights into the environmental impacts of their operations, enabling them to identify land conversion hotspots and assess risks. By providing best-in-class, scientifically rigorous data, AdAstra helps food manufacturers, commodity traders, financial institutions, NGOs, and government agencies understand their land conversion risks and reduction opportunities. Orbae allows users to track emissions across various land areas, from individual farms to entire countries, and evolves with improvements in traceability.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes food manufacturers, agricultural commodity traders, financial institutions, NGOs, and government agencies involved in agricultural supply chains.
