Technology/ Innovation:
Satellite and AI analysis to generate high quality carbon credit from farmland
Sagri is an impact startup established in 2018 and has worked with Japan's Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, JICA and UNDP in the past. Despite being a startup, Sagri is actively pursuing overseas expansion, and its technology is already in use in 10 countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The company has a global team that includes a doctor of Agriculture who is a lecturer at a European university and has experience working for the United Nations and the World Bank, and it is using the power of satellite data and AI to both solve social issues and conduct business.
Overview of Technology / Project:
Sagri will utilize satellite data and AI to enable the creation of high-quality carbon credits derived from agriculturalland. Specifically, we have gained the patent for farmland boundary identification, and established models for soilanalysis and water detection using satellite data, which we use as a basis for increasing carbon sequestration andimplementing Alternate wet and dry (AWD), with Japan, India, and Southeast Asia as our main markets.
