"Findus & XNatura: monitoring biodiversity in the agricultural supply chain"
Since 2023, Findus has been actively committed to monitoring biodiversity and pollinators by analyzing cultivated fields managed by farms in Abruzzo, Lazio, and Puglia to assess the impact of its vegetable supply chain on biodiversity. This project serves as a foundation for better understanding the agroecosystem and planning targeted interventions for biodiversity regeneration. The initiative aims to safeguard biodiversity and strengthen an essential ecosystem service - pollination - which is increasingly at risk due to climate change.
Starting from 2024, Findus has implemented a biodiversity monitoring project for the fields cultivated by agricultural companies located in Abruzzo, Lazio, and Puglia, covering 1,000 hectares of agricultural land and surrounding areas. Through Flora, the XNatura technology that processes high-resolution data from ESA satellites, combined with authoritative biodiversity databases and internationally recognized protocols, it has been possible to conduct an analysis of land use and ecosystem structure and quantify the potential for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.
Each XNatura assessment and monitoring suite is based on standard and recognized protocols that help you understand the priority level of your sites in relation to nature, biodiversity, and climate.
