Project overview

Alce Nero, a leader in organic farming, is committed to sustainable agricultural practices that promote biodiversity. However, measuring the environmental impact of agricultural landscapes remains a challenge. For this reason, Alce Nero sought an innovative, science-based solution to monitor biodiversity through technology at Azienda Agricola Selvello, one of its organic farms in Tuscany, located in the Maremma Grossetana.

Main KPIs monitored

Beginning in 2024, Alce Nero has implemented a biodiversity monitoring project by installing 14 Spectrum, bioacoustic devices that detect and analyze the sounds of pollinators, providing information on species abundance and diversity, within the Selvello farm. The data collected are used to assess biodiversity trends, identifying potential risks and opportunities for habitat improvement, and are visible on its dedicated platform.

Main phases of the project

Satellite monitoring
Field monitoring
Environmental assessment

The first phase of the project involved a satellite analysis using Flora technology, a system based on multispectral image analysis developed in collaboration with ESA (European Space Agency). This quantitative method, powered by artificial intelligence, allows for precise and continuous monitoring of land use changes and, consequently, the flora of a specific area.
