DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
Spatialise is a geospatial monitoring solution for carbon project developers, agribusinesses and government agencies. It delivers soil health and carbon stock predictions through APIs and built dashboards, using satellite data and AI. The service reduces reliance on field sampling by providing scalable, high-resolution insights to support land management, regenerative agriculture and sustainability reporting.
TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.
Spatialise integrates data from multiple satellite systems (e.g. Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, MODIS, Planet, SPOT, RapidEye, WorldView-3, Pleiades) with proprietary neural network models trained on more than 350,000 ground soil samples. The system uses AI to estimate key soil properties, including organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, pH and bulk density. Results are delivered via APIs for integration into external platforms and with dashboards available for enterprise clients, enabling continuous monitoring and trend analysis without extensive physical sampling.
TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.
The main users of Spatialise include agritech platforms, Measurement, Reporting and Verification providers, carbon program managers, and farmers. As of August 2025, the solution has supported more than 50,000 farmers across 25 countries. While most users could be institutional or service providers, the platform indirectly benefits farmers, particularly those engaged in regenerative agriculture or climate-smart practices, by improving decisions on fertilization, soil restoration, and carbon credit eligibility.
Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.
Spatialise operates on a fee-for-service basis, offering soil health intelligence through API integrations.
ImpactThe observed or intended effects of the initiative.
Spatialise aims to make high-resolution, scalable soil health monitoring accessible globally, reducing the need for costly and time-consuming sampling. By delivering accurate data on soil carbon, nutrients, and structure, the platform can support optimised input use, regenerative agriculture, and land restoration.
