We monitor the farms using remote sensing technologies (drones and satellite photos), and through satellite monitoring combined with climatic data, we will analyze the health of vegetation and crops. For satellite monitoring, we will implement images from Landsat 8 and Sentinel satellites combined with advanced analysis tools. Also, through the use of drones, we will fulfill multiple functions, such as mapping different areas, analyzing vegetation indices, and monitoring crops and diseases. This will result in a reduction in production costs, increased efficiency and productivity, time savings, and better management decisions.

On The Ground Sensing

  • Volumetric Water Content: Determines the amount of water present in the soil in relation to its total volume, providing an accurate measurement of moisture levels in the various soil layers.
  • Electrical Conductivity: Measures the soil’s ability to conduct electricity, which is an important indicator for assessing soil salinity and nutrient availability.
  • Soil Temperature: Records the soil temperature, a crucial factor that influences the biological and chemical processes affecting plant growth and development.

Remote Sensing

​
Vegetation & Environment Indices

Normalized Difference Vegetation IndexIt is the most common vegetation index in remote sensing. We will use it throughout the crop production season, except when vegetation and its canopy are too sparse, as its spectral reflectance is too low.
Fórmula: NDVI = (NIR – RED) / (NIR + RED)

​
Ecological Impact Tracking and Measurement

We track and report on the environmental and social impacts of our project using the EBF Framework for Environmental & Social Impact Reports. We employ several eco-friendly practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon sequestration.

Impact Areas

Methodology
  • Using seaweed-based organic fertilizers
  • Collaborating with local farmers to incorporate seaweed in cow feed
This holistic approach minimizes agricultural carbon footprint, promoting soil health, biodiversity, and restoration of marine ecosystems.

Holistic Annual Reports

  1. Environmental Impact: Annual carbon sequestration rates, changes in local biodiversity indices.
  2. Economic Impact: GDP contribution, changes in average household income.
  3. Social Impact: Changes in community well-being indices, education rates, and health outcomes.
  4. Sustainability: Annual sustainability audit measuring progress across all 8 forms of capital.
This information enables more efficient and sustainable management of irrigation and nutrients, improving both crop yields and the conservation of natural resources.
