CL6-2026-FARM2FORK-01-two-stage | Farm data infrastructure for environmental efficiency — Pacific R&D

Greenback is developing an integrated farm environmental monitoring architecture that combines satellite-derived indicators, laboratory soil analysis, freshwater quality measurement, and eDNA biodiversity sampling into a continuous data pipeline for organic farms in Aotearoa New Zealand. The design intent is to enable year-round remote monitoring between periodic full verification cycles, reducing the per-hectare cost of environmental outcome measurement while maintaining audit-grade data integrity. This architecture is currently at design stage — the methodology for integrating and cross-validating multiple data sources at farm scale has not yet been field-tested, and resolving this is a prerequisite for everything else we are building.

We hold a signed letter of intent from an anchor offtaker — a leading certified organic food company operating across Asia Pacific — confirming commercial intent to purchase verified ecosystem services credits once the methodology is validated and the registry is operational. This gives the data infrastructure research a clear applied endpoint and a real user waiting for the output.

We are seeking consortium partners with remote sensing, agricultural monitoring, precision agriculture, or farm data systems expertise, where co-developing and validating this multi-source observation pipeline in a Pacific Rim context would contribute to the consortium's research on efficient and sustainable use of agricultural production factors. We bring domain expertise in organic certification audit systems, knowledge of what farmers will and will not tolerate in terms of monitoring burden, and a concrete applied use case to drive the research design.
