What specific problem are you solving?
When natural capital is degraded, rural communities and farmers suffer first and most severely, yet their voices remain excluded from investment decisions that shape their lands. LandPrint addresses the critical disconnect between environmental value and financial decision-making in agricultural landscapes.
Every year, farmers steward lands that provide ecosystem services valued at $125 trillion annually—1.5 times global GDP. However, these contributions remain invisible in financial systems. By 2030, continued degradation could reduce global prosperity by $2.7 trillion, while current land degradation already costs $6-11 trillion annually in lost ecosystem services.
Across our 150,000 hectares of monitored Brazilian farmland, we've documented how this disconnect manifests: farmers experience crop failures, water scarcity, and soil fertility loss when short-term investment decisions overlook natural capital. Financial institutions lack standardized tools to assess how environmental assets—carbon, water, biodiversity, and soil health—affect agricultural investment risk.
The problem extends beyond economics. When natural resources are degraded due to uninformed financial decisions, entire communities suffer. Traditional knowledge is lost, livelihoods collapse, and rural exodus accelerates. Our solution bridges this gap by translating complex environmental data into financial language that all stakeholders understand, ensuring farmers' environmental stewardship is recognized and valued in investment decisions.
What is your solution?
LandPrint AI is a digital platform that empowers farmers and rural communities to influence environmental and financial decisions through a simple WhatsApp interface. Using conversational bots and guided surveys, users share local insights about water, soil, forests, and biodiversity. This data, collected in natural language, is automatically transformed into structured environmental information using machine learning. Combined with satellite imagery, LandPrint produces clear, standardized metrics on carbon, water, soil health, and biodiversity.
The solution has several key components: community data collection, remote sensing integration, automated processing, and a user-friendly interface, all connected to a system that generates standardized sustainability metrics and environmental risk scores. This helps financial institutions make nature-informed decisions through natural language queries and automated reporting.
Unlike traditional assessments that are slow, expensive, and top-down, LandPrint is fast, inclusive, and up to 90% more affordable. Designed for non-technical users, it bridges the gap between local knowledge and financial decision-making. By turning ground-level insights into actionable data, LandPrint makes the true value of natural capital visible, measurable, and financially relevant—ensuring communities who protect ecosystems are finally heard and included in shaping investment and land-use policies.
Who does your solution serve, and in what ways will the solution impact their lives?
Our primary beneficiaries are smallholder farmers and rural communities who depend on land, water, and biodiversity for their livelihoods. They are rarely included in environmental finance decisions. Through LandPrint AI’s WhatsApp-based interface, they can easily share local knowledge and receive feedback in real time.
This gives them a voice in how natural capital is valued and managed. Immediate benefits include access to environmental insights, technical guidance, and potential eligibility for payments for ecosystem services or climate funding. Long-term, it enables them to strengthen land stewardship, improve productivity, and secure financial incentives tied to sustainability. In pilot programs across Latin America, LandPrint has reduced environmental reporting time by over 35% and helped surface local priorities that shaped land-use planning.
Secondary beneficiaries include financial institutions, governments, and impact investors who gain access to ground-truthed data to guide sustainable investments. By integrating farmer-led data with AI, we make natural capital measurable and actionable—supporting communities in protecting ecosystems while unlocking new financial pathways.
LandPrint is tailored for low-bandwidth settings, uses local language prompts, and respects community-defined indicators, ensuring the solution is accessible, culturally relevant, and scalable.
