Our vision
To enable inclusive approaches to stop deforestation and implement innovative climate action in the supply chain
By closing the geospatial and carbon data gaps, and lowering the capacity barrier to use geospatial data in a simple-to-use platform
750k ha
of coffee growing area covered.
1,7M tons
of yearly production.
90%
of Vietnamese coffee.
About us
Creating better traceability through remote sensing
For the past 17 years, the Terra-i+ team has attracted remote sensing experts, climate scientists,
data scientists, and computer programmers with the common goal of using science and modelling for
better management of agroforestry supply chain sustainability.
Back in 2006, we started with Terra-i, a pan-tropical deforestation alert system to help increase
effectiveness of national forest protection programs. With the release of Terra-i+, we are empowering
companies to access supply-chain specific information about deforestation risk, water risk, carbon
sequestration opportunity and climate change impact projections.
We are part of the CGIAR, a global research partnership for a food-secure future. We believe this
information will help businesses in the agroforestry sector act where change is most needed to decrease
commodity-driven deforestation, increase their farmers’ resilience to climate change, and invest in
carbon-reducing farming systems.
Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.
