Introducing SoilSense

Standard satellite data can sometimes miss the nuances of local soil health. SoilSense bridges that gap.

Today we are unveiling "SoilSense," a revolutionary hybrid monitoring model that integrates low-cost IoT soil sensors with our high-resolution satellite imagery. This multi-layered approach allows for a level of granular accuracy previously unseen in the parametric insurance market.

How it Works

While satellites provide broad coverage and historical context, SoilSense sensors measure real-time moisture levels and nutrient density directly from the earth. This data is fed back into our AI models, which can then distinguish between a temporary dry spell and a serious agricultural drought with near-perfect precision.

The pilot program has already seen success in three test regions, reducing false-positive triggers by 22% and ensuring that payouts only go to those who truly need them.
