The thinking behind the system: long-form pieces on what it takes to understand land at depth, plus the data and methods behind the Land Health System.
Written for corporate sustainability decision makers: the four challenges the food sector faces now, how 30 years of environmental reporting unfolded in six phases, and what food companies should do next to assess and manage ecosystem condition across their supply chains.
The framework of Walter Jehne linking soil, water and climate, the peer-reviewed evidence for its mechanisms, and how EDDE measures the local land-surface cooling produced by a working water cycle at property scale, reported alongside carbon uptake and ecosystem condition. It separates measured local cooling from the unproven planetary claim and opens that larger question to scrutiny.
How Clare Hill's Planton Court Farm rose from Land Health Level 5 to Level 6 on EcoIntel's score, with eight years of satellite evidence behind the change.
The method behind EcoIntel: how the peer-reviewed Ecological Health Index is extended from an annual field score into a weekly satellite time series, the four ecosystem processes and how each is read from satellite and GIS data, the EcoDynamic Index and the Land Health Score, calibration and how far the results are evidenced, the carbon cross-check, and what it deliberately does not claim.
Digital Product Passports arrive with a nature field nobody can fill. See how a farm attaches a land-condition attribute a buyer can re-check.
EcoIntel puts every map layer of your farm in one place: hillshade, wetness, slope, aspect, keyline zones and the Land Health Score over time.
A soil core taken today cannot tell you where the land was in 2018. See how a satellite record assesses ecosystem condition backwards, year by year.
Organic and pasture-fed audit how a farm is run, not what the land does. See how long-range condition monitoring settles whether land improved.
Every nature-disclosure framework centres ecosystem condition, none defines the metric. See how EcoIntel's Land Health Score supplies it from satellite.
eDNA names the species; satellite condition data assesses the habitat. See how pairing the two makes biodiversity monitoring a portfolio can afford.
TNFD, ESRS E4 and GRI all require ecosystem condition, then leave the metric undefined. See how a satellite condition score fills the gap since 2018.
Land health is how well a landscape's natural systems are working. Learn what it means, why it is rarely measured, and how EcoIntel measures it from space.
Regenerative, agroecological, organic, rewilding. Nature-positive farming goes by many names. The one thing they share: understanding the land better.
In March 2026 England published its first Land Use Framework. It is not a law but a strategy that changes land decisions and where public money flows.
The EU's biggest sustainability law reaches most farms indirectly, through the value chain. Here is who is really in scope, and why.
A single carbon number is a hypothesis. EcoIntel cross-checks every parcel against fourteen public reference datasets and publishes the gaps.
EcoIntel is an ADP (assessment, diagnostics, practical guidance), not an MRV. See what we do that MRV does not, and how the two fit together.
The gap is not one of intent or information. It is the gap between general knowledge and specific ground, and closing it is what EcoIntel was built for.
Why soil carbon, species counts and carbon flux cannot tell you if your land is improving, and how four leading indicators can. The diagnostic logic.
