Boomitra Inc.

Descripción de la Empresa

Boomitra (https://boomitra.com) is working to accelerate climate mitigation and adaptation on a planetary scale – through the actions of farmers. We can measure soil carbon with satellites and AI, with third party-certified accuracy better than conventional soil testing. We work with farmers of all sizes - from a single acre in India to 100,000+ acres in the Americas. Soil carbon sequestration has been held back by expensive soil sampling and testing requirements - Boomitra's satellite and AI-based soil carbon measurement technology changes that paradigm. Farmers can efficiently capture CO2 using their soils; easier than planting a tree. Farmers adopt sustainable practices like manure/compost additions, cover crops, crop rotations, rotated grazing, and more - which increase soil carbon. We operate in many parts of the world - across the Americas, Africa, Europe and Asia. Thanks to our great network of partners, we have a truly global portfolio of projects - work with us anywhere.
