About Us

Value-driven technologies for traceability, sustainable agriculture, and deforestation monitoring.

We work to ensure that food supply chains are transparent, accountable, and compliant with emerging global standards, including the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Norway’s Transparency Act. By combining digital platforms, GIS mapping, and local partnerships, we connect smallholder farmers to global markets while safeguarding ecosystems and strengthening community resilience. Our mission is to build trustworthy supply chains that empower producers, protect forests, and deliver sustainable food from our communities to tables worldwide.

Impact

Our Impact: Empowering African Farming Communities

We are creating value-driven, transparent, and sustainable agricultural technologies to strengthen supply chains and empower communities. In 2024, we invested $500,000 with 1,400 farmers (72% women) in Guinea, purchasing 600 MT of fonio and reducing migration pressures on rural women. Through partnerships with AGUIPEX (Guinea´s export agency), IRAG (Guinea´s National Research agency), and Michigan State University, we are advancing local value creation, agricultural innovation, and women’s leadership in agriculture. Our impact aligns with the UN SDGs on poverty reduction, food security, gender equality, and decent work.

Traceability

Full Transparency in Our DNA

Every product is traceable back to its source, ensuring accountability, transparency, and trust. Through digital platforms and GIS tools, we map the journey from farm to consumer, guaranteeing sustainable and deforestation-free production across food supply chains.
