Sustainability starts with better data
We provide free and methodologically harmonised data on the production practices and environmental impacts of farms and food products. Our models and data standard enable farms and supply chains to quantify, communicate, and reduce their impacts.
Global data coverage
Tracking environmental impacts across the world's food systems
Data sources include:
National agricultural databases
Academic research studies
Supply chain reports
Harmonise data to unlock progress
The current landscape of agricultural data is fragmented, inconsistent, and costly. From incompatible formats to duplicate efforts, billions have been wasted on systems that can't communicate with each other.
Our solution provides a unified data standard that covers the entire food chain—from crop production to retail—enabling evidence-based decisions and real sustainability progress.
From production to retail: unified data standard
Calculate environmental impacts at scale
Current solutions only provide GHG emissions and require you to share sensitive data. We offer multi-indicator environmental impact calculations while keeping your data private and secure.
