Problem
Agri-food businesses face increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact and enhance biodiversity, but lack comprehensive tools to effectively monitor emissions and environmental impacts across their value chains. Existing sustainability strategies often struggle with engaging farmers and implementing effective mitigation pathways due to a lack of data-driven insights.
Solution
Carbon Harvesters provides a suite of sustainability solutions that enable businesses to measure, monitor, and implement strategies for Net Zero and Nature Positive value chains. Their platform utilizes life cycle assessment (LCA) to comprehensively measure environmental impacts from farm to fork, addressing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The biodiversity tool employs machine learning and satellite data to map and assess habitat extent and condition, enabling baselining and monitoring of biodiversity in supply chains. Carbon Harvesters collaborates with supply chain members and technology providers to develop customized dashboards and integrate models into existing platforms through APIs.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes Agri-Food corporates, cooperatives, supermarkets, and farmers seeking to reduce their environmental impact, enhance biodiversity, and meet sustainability targets.
