About Us

We are a fast-growing start-up backed by leading investors including the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation. We are on the path to becoming one of the leading global businesses in supporting nature-based solutions to climate change. We are expanding at pace with rapidly accelerating demand from companies, financial institutions, and landowners around the world. Our mission is to make every hectare of land count towards achieving global climate, biodiversity, and food security goals. We build a digital twin of natural assets to support decision making and investment in the restoration of soils, biodiversity, and water resources globally at all scales. Our completely remote platform provides detailed evidence of what is happening on the ground and our game-changing MRV methodology produces scientifically robust, high-quality metrics. We help farmers increase resilience, financial institutions provide green lending and agricultural supply chains become carbon neutral and biodiversity positive. Our team is composed of global experts who are passionate about delivering real solutions to climate change. Our Founder and Chief Scientist is the former Chief Scientist for UNEP and Executive Director of the European Environment Agency. Our management team includes previous CEOs of global energy companies, heads of business development and technology at successful global data businesses and start-ups. Industry Farm Support Services Downforce Technologies was spun out of the Downforce Trust in February 2021. Downforce is the developer of EcoBalance, an app which uses big data from satellites and multiple other sources, then applies cutting-edge modelling and knowledge technologies to identify the best land-use options. EcoBalance connects land stewards, farmers, financial institutions and local and national authorities to manage the challenges around maintaining sustainable agriculture. Land stewards can look at the options available to them and the predicted benefits under different scenarios. Financial institutions can evaluate options, finance them and then track progress. Governments can set targets, inform international negotiations, and encourage optimal land use.
