The story
We make the value of nature visible.Hectare by hectare.
Earth Surveillance is a Danish greentech company working with farmers, cooperatives, and producers of products from the world's bean belt. We document what nature delivers, so that buyers, banks and investors can trust it and pay for it.
From the forestto the boardroom floor
Earth Surveillance grew from a group of entrepreneurs, foresters and land managers working with agroforestry in Latin America.
In the field we saw the same problem again and again. The people who protect nature are rarely paid for it, because its value cannot be documented in a way that buyers and banks accept.
So we built a way to do it. We combine thousands of data points from satellite, field and AI to show what each hectare delivers, from carbon and biodiversity to proof that land is free of deforestation.
Today we are based in Copenhagen and work with partners throughout the bean belt. Our work is supported by, among others, the European Space Agency and Innovation Fund Denmark.
