Agricultural value chains—especially those linked to export markets—are undergoing major pressure. Smallholder farmers face volatile demand, tightening regulatory environments, and declining support from traditional development partners. The upcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) adds new documentation, geolocation, and traceability requirements that many existing systems cannot meet affordably or reliably.
Discover how IASO, Bluesquare’s geospatial data platform, provides an adaptable foundation for building agriculture-focused data systems that meet these traceability and compliance needs.
Leveraging IASO’s strengths in precise geolocation, field-level registries, data collection, workflows, and open APIs, agriculture programs can build robust, extensible solutions for farm registration, compliance tracking, and supply-chain traceability.
IASO creates a structured registry of farms and fields. Each farm is mapped with precise GPS coordinates, and associated fields are drawn as polygons or captured as points.
Registration happens through mobile devices that work both online and offline. Field agents or farmers can capture boundaries, photos, and supporting documents. Updates (such as new plots or changing cultivation practices) are pushed directly to the central registry.
This provides a unified system of record that can be shared with traders, exporters, and regulatory authorities.
IASO can be configured to support item-level or batch-level tracking along agricultural supply chains:
This enables exporters to provide verifiable supply-chain histories that satisfy buyer and regulatory requirements.
Through OpenHEXA, IASO connects with satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets. Analysts can detect land-use change, verify compliance, calculate area statistics or merge multiple data sources to support audit processes or buyer reporting.
For advanced data pipelines, processing, and analytics, IASO integrates seamlessly with OpenHEXA.
