The Remote Sensing team of the Rabobank brings the power of geo-data to the bank. They develop different products and services that contribute to various propositions – serving smallholder farmers, meeting sustainability goals, and mitigating risks – all using satellite and geo-data. Finding innovative ways to use technology and geo-data to reduce costs, increase impact, help people and protect natural resources all at the same time. Among others, the Remote Sensing team works on Rabobank’s Acorn proposition.

At Acorn they help smallholder farmers in developing regions to transition to agroforestry. This provides certified, nature-based carbon credits, which they offer to responsible corporates to help them reach their climate goals. With 80% of the sales revenue going straight to the farmers, it helps them adopt a more climate-resilient way of farming that improves food security, biodiversity, and financial independence.
