The recent article in ScienceDaily on managing forests with smart technologies highlights the transformative potential of innovation in addressing deforestation. At Deadwood Innovations, we are at the forefront of this movement by utilizing advanced technology to convert underutilized aspen trees into high-quality hardwood. However, it is shortsighted to think that there is any one technology, practice, or method that will be a complete solution for sustainability, economy, and industry. It will take new technologies, like Deadwood’s, to work alongside and complement the forest industry to help producers unlock value and create sustainability. https://lnkd.in/gvybuCyz #SustainableForestry #ClimateAction #Innovation #DeadwoodInnovations #CanadaForestry #GreenFuture

👋Hey everyone!👋, I recently had the incredible opportunity to travel to the Netherlands, and let me tell you, it was an eye-opening experience! Not only did I get to soak in the rich culture and stunning landscapes, but I also got to explore some of the most innovative farm and garden technologies I've ever seen. As a IT Administrator and Data Analyst with a passion for sustainability and technology, this trip was like stepping into a wonderland of cutting-edge innovations. One of the first things that caught my attention was the ingenious ways Dutch farmers are using technology to optimize their operations. From precision farming techniques that maximize crop yields while minimizing environmental impact to automated greenhouse systems that regulate temperature, humidity, and lighting, every aspect of the farming process seemed to be infused with innovation. It was inspiring to see how data-driven insights are being leveraged to make farming more efficient, sustainable, and productive. But it wasn't just the large-scale agriculture industry that impressed me. I also had the chance to visit some smaller-scale farms and gardens where local entrepreneurs are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. One particularly fascinating innovation I came across was a smart garden management system that utilized sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers to automate tasks like irrigation, fertilization, and pest control. It was incredible to see how technology is empowering individuals to grow their own food in urban environments, reducing food miles and promoting self-sufficiency. Of course, no trip to the Netherlands would be complete without marveling at the iconic windmills and picturesque tulip fields. But what really captured my imagination were the sustainable energy initiatives that are helping the country transition towards a greener future. From offshore wind farms harnessing the power of the North Sea to innovative solar panel installations on rooftops and canals, the Netherlands is leading the way in renewable energy innovation. Overall, my time in the Netherlands was an unforgettable journey filled with inspiration, learning, and adventure. It reaffirmed my belief in the power of technology to drive positive change and transform industries for the better. I'm excited to bring back everything I've learned and apply it to my work helping to create a more sustainable and technologically advanced future for us all. hashtag #Netherlands #Innovation #Sustainability #Technology #DataAnalysis #TravelDiaries 🌍✈️🌿

Tracking Soil Carbon with Satellites & AI Carbon credits are currently the subject of heated debate, especially following the October collapse of one of the world’s largest offset experiments, the Zimbabwe Kariba project. https://lnkd.in/dXN94mWm Enter Boomitra, an agricultural technology startup that’s rethinking how we track CO2 beneath the Earth’s surface. https://boomitra.com/ Measuring, reporting, and verifying credits, or what’s known as MRV, requires farmers to manually collect continuous data on their land to measure levels of carbon in the soil over time. With the time and effort this takes, farmers may skip the “convoluted, burdensome and unpredictable” carbon offset process altogether. Overall, the system “has proven difficult and nuanced,” says Columbia Climate School’s State of the Planet. https://lnkd.in/dMHyme3s Remote monitoring could cut the cost of measuring soil carbon by more than 90%. Boomitra integrates “an archive of [more than a million] soil samples” and imagery from 100+ multispectral satellites to accurately model 5 million acres of global crop and farmland. The startup’s machine learning models then analyze levels of carbon in the soil over time, helping farmers qualify for third-party-verified carbon credits. Meanwhile, farmers can use Boomitra’s app to track critical soil markers like moisture and nutrients. Remote monitoring is a little bit like a jigsaw puzzle, in which you fit together different pieces of information to see the full picture, but it could cut the cost of measurement, Boomitra claims, by more than 90%. The startup, which works with partners like the World Economic Forum, AWS, and Mercy Corps, sends income from selling these credits back to its network of 150,000 farmers and ranchers. It’s not just about tech: Interestingly, Moorthy makes the case that scaling Boomitra’s solution isn’t just a technological change — it’s psychological. For farmers living on the brink, after all, a single setback can have devastating effects. Moorthy recalls being particularly struck by the funeral of a farmer who, after losing everything during monsoon season, took his own life.  Boomitra is just one of a growing array of startups using data to help farmers adapt to changing crop yields, temperatures, and growing seasons. By 2027, the market for precision agriculture is predicted to surpass $14 billion. Meanwhile, farmers can use Boomitra’s app to track critical soil markers like moisture and nutrients. 

We were very pleased to see our deeptech portfolio company constellr feature in Forbes last week. The article discusses constellr's innovative use of satellite technology, and how it is transforming how we monitor and manage agricultural landscapes globally. By creating a bio-physical atlas, constellr provides essential insights into the chemical and physical realities of our environment, crucial for optimising water usage, enhancing food security, and addressing the challenges posed by climate change. In 2023, constellr's contributions were recognised with the prestigious Fraunhofer Prize for their efforts in promoting sustainable agriculture through advanced satellite technology. The upcoming launch of constellr's HiVE satellite constellation later this year will allow the company to further our understanding of land surface temperatures, and support sustainable agricultural systems worldwide. Their data-driven approach is essential for mitigating the impacts of global warming and enhancing the resilience of our cities and agricultural systems. We at Lakestar are immensely proud of constellr's achievements, led by Dr. Max Gulde and his talented team, and look forward to their continued success in driving innovation and sustainability across deeptech. #Innovation #Sustainability #Agriculture #SatelliteTechnology #DeepTech
