Our Story
From Broken Eco-systems to Living Intelligence
EarthSurveillance.ai was founded in 2024, but our story goes much further back— with the common goal of restoring the disconnect between Human beings and Nature, the broken logic of how we see ourselves as part of Earths living systems, manage land and destroy forests – 10 years ago an experienced team of entrepreneurs came together to find solutions.
Then came AI. Could it be that we finally got the intelligence needed to truly understand Nature and the technology to restore? We believe so.
We saw an opportunity: A system that could visualize even the most hidden vital natural resources, like carbon stored in tree trunks – could collect data from satellites, drones and smartphones – and, thereby prove the real value of forests, biodiversity, water, a cacao grown under a shade-tree….. So we built a system that could See it all. Measure it all. Value it all.
We did not start from scratch — a small core team with 100+ years of experience, we stand on the shoulders of scientists, farmers, coders, climate economists, and space engineers to create AI models that don’t sit in labs — but walk in forests.
Why We Exist
EarthSurveillance turns ecological insight into visible value. Driving the protection and regeneration of nature.
1
Operators and Producers
From local smallholder farmers, cooperatives, forest communities to international brands and private land owners, our platform helps optimize production, plan, transform, forecast — and implement sustainable land management practices.
- Precision AI for productivity
- Real-time monitoring for EUDR compliance
- Traceability from seed to shelf
2
Landowners for Conservation
Whether protecting ancestral forests and bio-diversity or optimizing the quantification of carbon stored in an ecosystem, our system help you turn ecology into income.
- Carbon, biodiversity, and soil health monetization
- Forest monitoring using AI, satellites, drones and in-situ sensors
3
Traders in Transition
From bulk buyers to certified commodity brokers, we help traders source with transparency — and prove every claim.
- Certification dashboards, Track&Trace
- Satellite-confirmed due diligence tools
4
Green ReFi Players
Banks, impact funds, and climate investors need data to deploy capital. We give them living proof on value creation
- Risk-reduced investment intelligence
- Field-to-fund traceability for grants, green bonds, and equity
- Evidence for climate-linked lending
Why We Exist
EarthSurveillance exists to turn data into power for those who regenerate Earth — not those who extract from it. That means:
Operators and Producers
From landowning cooperatives to brands sourcing from smallholder cacao farms, our system helps produce more — while taking less from the land.
- Precision AI for productivity
- Real-time monitoring for EUDR compliance
- Traceability from seed to shelf
Landowners for Preservation
Whether protecting ancestral forests or selling biodiversity and carbon as verified services, our system turns ecology into income.
- Carbon, biodiversity, and soil health monetization
- Forest monitoring with acoustic, drone, and satellite AI
Traders in Transition
From bulk buyers to certified commodity brokers, we help traders source with transparency — and prove every claim.
- Ecological certification dashboards
- Satellite-confirmed due diligence tools
Green ReFi Players
Banks, impact funds, and climate investors need data to deploy capital. We give them something better: living proof.
- Risk-reduced investment intelligence
- Field-to-fund traceability for grants, green bonds, and equity
- Evidence for climate-linked lending
Built to Learn.
Built to Scale.
We started with cacao. Our AI learned from real farms, scientific journals, and satellite feeds.
Then it grew — into coffee, rubber, palm oil, soy, timber, and cattle. Wherever there’s land to manage or protect, EarthSurveillance shows what works — and what doesn’t.
This isn’t legacy AgTech. It’s a living, self-learning AI that adjusts to every coordinate, every forest, every regulation, and every market signal.
It’s the end of blind agriculture. It’s the beginning of regenerative intelligence at planetary scale.
Built for those who grow, trade, protect, or finance the Earth
Turning satellite data, science, and soil into living intelligence
From farms to capital flows — regeneration, proven and scalable
Not Just a Platform.
A Proof.
We don’t pitch regeneration. We prove it.
From Amazonian cooperatives to European investors, from forest edge sensors to cloud-hosted dashboards, EarthSurveillance is a bridge between ecology and economy.
We build tools not for one sector, but for an ecosystem of change agents.
This is our story. But more importantly: this is your story, if you farm, protect, invest in, or trade with the living Earth.
Let the land speak. Let the data prove. Let regeneration scale.

Our Story
From Broken Maps to Living Intelligence
EarthSurveillance.ai was founded in October 2024, but our real beginning lies deeper — in the broken logic of how land is managed, financed, and protected. Before there was a platform, there was a purpose: to build the intelligence Earth needs to see, understand, and restore itself.
We saw a system that made invisible the most valuable things on Earth: carbon stored in trees, biodiversity in shade-grown cacao, resilience in farmer knowledge. So we built a system that could see it all. Measure it all. Value it all.
We did not start from scratch — we stood on the shoulders of scientists, farmers, coders, climate economists, and satellite engineers. Our tools are born of CATIE, CIAT, FHIA, and AI models that don’t sit in labs — they walk in forests.
