Terra-i +

The tool helps operators and traders of key commodities, such as coffee and cocoa, to make informed decisions for managing deforestation risks within their supply chains. By aligning with carbon commitments and sustainability goals, the tool supports efforts to reduce global deforestation and lower carbon footprints.

By 2030, Terra-i+ will have enabled the sequestration of at least 4,375 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in above-ground biomass. This achievement is driven by the planting of over 150,000 trees as part of the coffee agroforestry initiative implemented by Terra-i+’s first registered industry user, ECOM SMS Vietnam.

The calculation is based on the conservative methodology outlined by Chave et al. (2014) and incorporates a 44% tree mortality rate, as reported by Banin et al. (2022).

The Terra-i+ web tool is designed to be scalable and replicable across various geographies and commodities.

Initially piloted in Vietnam's coffee sector, Terra-i+ is part of a broader global vision to create an Inclusive Reference Dataset and a shared public digital infrastructure for highly accurate, inclusive maps. This global dataset aims to reduce the cost of developing localized, high-accuracy maps, enhance the transparency of sustainability reporting processes, and prevent the exclusion of smallholders from key markets caused by map misclassification.
