Value proposition

Our mission is to break the silos of farm & field data to transform the way information is gathered, analyzed and shared

Varda is a nonprofit technology platform enabling farm & field data sharing to support the transition to a global nature-positive food system.
Varda’s mission is to enable the use of field-level data to accelerate the transition towards a nature-positive food system by tackling the challenge of data fragmentation and lack of standards of data produced on farms every day.

Varda operates a digital platform that operates two products, Global FieldID and SoilHive.

Global FieldID through the ingestion of field boundaries assigns a unique identifier that allows for the identification of fields, globally. Having a common geospatial reference for fields will enable industry stakeholders to ‘speak the same language’, improving the interoperability of digital farming tools and data exchange across the whole food value chain.

Through the widespread adoption of Global FieldID, Varda’s goal is to bring together leaders from the agri-food industry to collaborate to transition to a more sustainable, resilient, and transparent food system.

SoilHive, is an open data platform aiming to make soil data easily discoverable, accessible, and interoperable. It can be compared to a soil data 'library' where one can explore multiple data sources, download them with a click, compare data, and collaborate to bridge critical soil information gaps.

Thanks to SoilHive, soil gaps can be identified across geographies, data insights can be formed and others can contribute to soil sampling campaigns and overall soil health. Check out the SoilHive platform: https://app.soilhive.ag/availability
