geoFootprint
geoFootprint is accelerating sustainable agriculture by transforming how you measure and manage the footprint of your supply chains.
By combining data from satellite imagery with environmental metrics, geoFootprint visualizes the environmental footprints of key commodity crops on an interactive world map, giving you quick answers to complex sustainability questions.
Supported by EIT Climate-KIC and corporate funders, and developed by Quantis in partnership with the Cool Farm Alliance and ArxIT, the geoFootprint initiative involves 25+ corporate, public, global, academic and non-profit organizations.

The Data Challenge
Companies in crop-based industries that set ambitious environmental targets to reduce their footprint face massive supply chain management data challenges. To set and track progress toward sustainability goals, businesses often rely on incomplete, inconsistent and generic, country-level environmental data on one hand, and highly precise farm-level data for selected locations on the other. The two are often incompatible due to the difference in assessment methodologies. geoFootprint bridges this gap by providing generic data that is much more granular and a platform to overwrite inputs with proprietary data.
Non-corporate stakeholders are also limited in their access to reliable and transparent environmental data. A free online tool that is visual and user-friendly will empower research organizations, policymakers and farm-level actors to understand, inform and engage others on these topics.
