AdAstra has launched Orbae, a free platform designed to expose the environmental impact of deforestation and land conversion in agricultural supply chains. The idea is to give agribusinesses, policymakers, and researchers insight into where deforestation is occurring.
3Keel has been working with Orbae since 2019 to develop a bespoke solution for their clients.
Orbae’s approach is to use machine learning algorithms to identify the most impactful interventions.
Understanding the Challenges of Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture is a pressing concern for the global community, with the need to balance food production with environmental protection and social responsibility.
Orbae’s algorithm is designed to provide a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the environmental impact of land conversion for each commodity, taking into account various factors such as soil type, land use, and climate.
Key Features of the platform
The platform is designed to provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the environmental impact of agricultural commodities. To achieve this, the platform uses a combination of data sources and algorithms to calculate greenhouse gas emissions. • Data Sources: The platform draws data from a variety of sources, including government reports, academic studies, and industry reports. • Algorithms: The platform uses advanced algorithms to calculate greenhouse gas emissions based on the data provided.
Orbae processes billions of satellite-based data points with an algorithm developed by AdAstra. It factors in 20 years of land history, carbon stock data, and the precise locations of crop production.
