betterSoil and Green Space Center Redefine Farming from Orbit
As the world grapples with food and climate disruption, one truth is becoming clear: healthy soil is our strongest ally. This partnership will merge satellite technology and regenerative science to help heal the land by building a future where soil restoration is guided by space-based intelligence.
Soil, satellites, and the future of farming
Soil, satellites, and the future of farming
This milestone marks a new chapter for betterSoil combining soil health science, climate-smart farming, and satellite data to tackle the twin crises of food insecurity and land degradation. Joining the Green Space Center’s international outreach program means betterSoil now has access to ESA’s technical expertise and data archives, networking with research institutions and other startups business incubation. This partnership brings us closer to our vision of empowering farmers whether in Europe or the Global South to make data-driven, regenerative choices that restore ecosystems and improve food security. The collaboration also accelerates the rollout of betterSoil’s Farm Assistant which is a digital solution that helps farmers monitor and manage soil health using space-derived data by enabling:
• More precise satellite data integration
• Deeper links and analyses with research institutions and climate scientists
• Cross-regional pilots across Europe
betterSoil joins global experts in Vienna
A first important activity within the collaboration with the Green Space Center is that we are proud to announce that betterSoil will attend the Living Planet Symposium. The Symposium is ESA’s flagship Earth observation conference, taking place in Vienna from 23–27 June. At this global gathering of scientists, innovators, and policy makers, we will showcase how the betterSoil Farm Assistant bridges the gap between satellite data and soil health—turning pixels from space into life-giving practices on the ground. This innovation aligns with this year’s theme, “From Observation to Climate Action and Sustainability for Earth,” where the assistant translates complex environmental data into simple, practical recommendations that help both small-scale farmers and large producers reduce costs, improve yields, and restore soil health. As the world looks for bold solutions to feed a growing population while fighting climate change, betterSoil stands at the intersection of space and sustainability showing that the future of farming may just begin in orbit.
