What we build
Geospatial mapping
Independent, repeatable measurement of what is planted and where. We map crops from satellite imagery, validate the map in the field, draw field boundaries and link them to the registers boards and factories already keep. The output is not a picture; it is statistics, datasets and a web map your staff can use.
What we map
- Crop extent by county, sub-county and catchment
- Field-boundary polygons for smallholder and estate plots
- Factory catchments and delivery distances
- Deforestation-risk overlays for coffee supply chains (EU Deforestation Regulation)
- Change over seasons
Method
- 1
Sentinel-2 composites at 10 m
- 2
Deep-learning classification trained on hand-labelled fields
- 3
Stratified field validation with county officers and factories
- 4
Linkage to grower and factory registers, with personal data kept in country
- 5
Statistics, GeoPackage and shapefile datasets, interactive map, seasonal refresh
Tea is outside the EU Deforestation Regulation; the certification hook for tea is the polygon requirement in sustainability standards. EUDR overlays apply to coffee.
Proof
Delivered, with the numbers.
of Kenyan tea mapped at field level
hand-labelled fields behind the model
- Kenya tea: 282,727 ha of Kenyan tea mapped at field level from open satellite data and 16,825 hand-labelled fields
- Rwanda and Ethiopia: 25,000+ plot geometries audited and remediated to 99%+ validity
Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2023.
