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.
