AirSmat Inc

AirSmat Inc is a Nigerian startup with the slogan "Maximizing yields, Unlocking the power of agriculture to reverse climate change". Founded in 2019, the company is dedicated to working with farmers across Africa to promote sustainable agriculture, improve food security, and drive the transition towards regenerative and climate-preserving agriculture. AirSmat focuses on developing monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) tools to enhance soil carbon sequestration. The company addresses the challenges of MRV in the carbon market by leveraging a combination of satellite imagery, a proprietary soil data library, and advanced machine learning algorithms to provide an accurate, cost-efficient, and scalable MRV solution. This enables stakeholders to confidently measure and report soil carbon levels. One of the critical components of AirSmat's approach is the strategic deployment of biochar, a stable, carbon-rich form of charcoal that is applied to soils to enhance fertility and carbon storage capacity. By integrating biochar into agricultural practices, the company aims to boost soil's ability to retain carbon, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation efforts while also improving soil health and agricultural productivity. AirSmat secured a grant investment on 07 November 2023 from SVG Ventures | THRIVE, signaling investor confidence in the company's innovative approach and potential impact. With a focus on Agriculture, Analytics, Drones, and SaaS, AirSmat is positioned to make a meaningful contribution to sustainable agriculture and climate action in Africa.
