About SoilBeat

The environmental ramifications of current farming practices are substantial, as they account for an alarming 31% of worldwide human-caused greenhouse gas discharge, stimulate close to 90% of deforestation each year globally, and negatively affect the health of the soil and the diversity of species living within it.

​

Regenerative agriculture practices prioritize soil health, enhance on-farm biodiversity, and promote carbon sequestration, offering a viable solution to mitigate agriculture's environmental footprint. But implementing these methods requires translating a broad set of principles into actionable practices and tangible results on the farm, a process ripe for technological innovation.

​

Introducing SoilBeat - a solution designed to facilitate the transition to regenerative farming. Our mission is to decipher complex soil and plant health data, transforming it into practical, day-to-day recommendations for farmers. But we can't do it without you.

​

If you're a developer with a passion for sustainability, this is your chance to make a real impact. By aiding us in creating a platform that leverages data science, you can help farmers make informed decisions that promote soil health, improve crop yield, and pave the way for more sustainable agricultural practices. Together, we can revolutionize farming and contribute to a more sustainable future.

To support our mission to scale profitable regenerative agriculture, we are building a scalable platform using Node.js and React as core modules. Enhanced by other JavaScript libraries, vanilla Typescript and Python to analyze the data. Our goal is to provide farmers across the globe with the best soil & plant health-management recommendations and knowledge and in the most efficient way.
