THRIVE | Shell Climate-Smart Agriculture Challenge Announces HabiTerre as Finalist

HabiTerre has just been named as a finalist for the THRIVE | Shell Climate-Smart Agriculture Challenge after an extensive global search that drew a pool of over 300 applicants. The finalists to be evaluated and potentially supported by the Climate-Smart Agriculture Challenge include 11 start-up and scale-up innovators who are driving the global transformation to climate-smart agricultural practices.

More specifically, the Challenge will recognize innovations that help farmers by finding: solutions that promote carbon sequestration and avoid emissions while improving soil health; solutions to improve farm connectivity to access carbon markets and carbon financing; and solutions that measure and quantify soil carbon, soil health, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

By using a unique combination of remote sensing, process-based models, and artificial intelligence, HabiTerre is able to scalably monitor, measure, and analyze global and local production and resource use efficiency, including impacts to soil carbon and GHG emissions, to support decisions around the use of land and water resources. This solution is being recognized for its ability to support market and value creation for sustainable agriculture from farm to buyers.

HabiTerre will compete in the Pitch Challenge at the beginning of February, pitching to a judging panel composed of representatives from Shell, THRIVE, John Deere and BASF. The winner will receive up to $100,000 in project funding, the ability to participate in Shell’s GameChanger Accelerator, and to present at the SXSW this March in Austin, TX.

Vote for the People’s Choice Award

In addition to the live event, the 11 finalists selected to participate in the Challenge will also compete for a prestigious People’s Choice Award.

Submit your vote here by February 28!
