Contribution to climate change: Collects, processes and analyzes soil data to generate digital agronomic recommendations on correctives, fertilizers, cover crops, soil management and carbon footprint. In this way, it contributes to the reduction of environmental impacts and promotes adaptation and mitigation of climate change in the agricultural sector.
Use of technology: The company uses LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) technology, the same technology used by NASA to characterize the soil on Mars. This technique performs photonic analyses of soil samples using a high-energy pulsed laser, allowing the analysis of carbon content, nutrients and other soil characteristics.
Application examples:
Rural producers use diagnostics to adjust soil management, optimizing the application of fertilizers and correctives, reducing costs and environmental impacts.
Agricultural cooperatives and technical consultancies adopt technology to monitor large areas, promoting precision agriculture and sustainability at scale.
Research and rural extension projects use LIBS analysis to assess soil health in different biomes, supporting regenerative practices and public conservation policies.
Companies in the sugar, alcohol and grain sectors use data to track soil quality over time, ensuring environmental certifications and improving production traceability.
Initiatives to restore degraded areas benefit from accurate monitoring to guide restoration strategies and measure soil carbon gains.
