Acre-insights

Acre Insights is a web-based drone and satellite monitoring service for African farms, forests, and carbon projects that need measurable outputs for operations and MRV reporting.

Key capabilities include:

• Data capture from drones and satellites: Drone RGB/LiDAR surveys and 30m-resolution satellite imagery to monitor land at scale.
• Analytics for nature-based metrics: Models that use canopy area and tree height to estimate forest biomass, plus outputs such as tree counts, canopy cover, yield insights, and CO₂ sequestration tracking for carbon credit workflows.
• Decision-ready deliverables: An interactive map, a PDF insights report, and an asset database that can include tree count, biomass, volume, and CO₂.
• Boundary cleaning and validation: Support for cleaning and validating farm boundaries (plot boundaries), which affects delivery and pricing.

Available on Web.

Target users include smallholder farmers, community forestry projects, agribusinesses, and carbon project developers operating across Africa (including Kenya, Tanzania, and Mauritius).

Notable in the African climate economy context, the service has been used in projects such as TungaMiti’s forestry monitoring, including a hybrid satellite, drone, and LiDAR approach with reported biomass model performance (R² = 0.85) and large-scale smallholder boundary validation. Pricing is quoted as an estimate of , depending on area size and whether plot boundaries already exist.
