Project overview

Fattoria di Maiano has always been committed to sustainability and promotes organic farming. However, accurately measuring biodiversity and assessing the impact of conservation efforts in a broad agricultural context requires a data-driven approach. That is why since 2023 Fattoria di Maiano has been engaged in a project to monitor and protect biodiversity within its historic Tuscan estate located in the Fiesole hills near Florence.

Main KPIs monitored

To address this challenge, starting in 2023, Fattoria di Maiano has initiated a comprehensive assessment to monitor biodiversity within its vast agricultural estate. The project, designed to provide an accurate and detailed overview of local ecosystems, integrates two advanced technologies: Flora, which enables satellite analysis of biodiversity, monitoring the presence and distribution of plant species, and Spectrum, which allows real-time monitoring of pollinator populations, crucial to the ecological balance of the area.

Main phases of the project

Satellite monitoring
Field monitoring
Biodiversity pathway and biomonitoring hives

The first phase of the initiative involved a satellite-supported biodiversity assessment using Flora, a system developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). By analyzing multispectral images through artificial intelligence-based models, the assessment provided a large-scale overview of the biodiversity potential of different areas of the estate. This approach made it possible to identify optimal sites for biodiversity field monitoring, as well as to continuously monitor vegetation dynamics to detect any changes in ecosystems over time.
