Problem → Solution → Impact

CropAuditing connects a clear auditing problem with a scalable technical solution and practical value for institutions that need reliable agricultural verification.

01

Problem

Manual agricultural audits are slow, expensive and difficult to scale across large territories. Field inspections require time, people and repeated verification, making the process inefficient for insurers, banks and public-sector entities.

03

Impact

The platform enables faster verification, scalable monitoring and stronger fraud or inconsistency detection, supporting more transparent decisions in insurance validation, agricultural subsidies and financial risk analysis.

Project Framework

Learn about our strategy

CropAuditing is a technological solution developed to transform large-scale agricultural monitoring through the integration of satellite imagery, temporal analysis, and machine learning algorithms. Our solution addresses the limitations of traditional agricultural audits, which are often slow, expensive, and difficult to scale, offering an automated, accurate, and efficient system for crop identification and monitoring crop development over time. By converting complex geospatial data into clear and verifiable analytical information, CropAuditing optimizes audit processes for insurance companies, financial institutions, and

Crop Identification

Crop Identification

Using Machine Learning and statistical analysis to accurately identify crop species and calculate their specific land areas.

Growth Monitoring

Growth Monitoring

Leveraging Sentinel-2 satellite imagery to automatically determine and track the growth stages of plantations.

Automated Auditing

Automated Auditing

Replacing slow manual surveys with a fast and user-friendly digital process for insurance companies and financial institutions.

Fraud Detection

Fraud Detection

Ensuring data transparency to facilitate fraud prevention and simplify compliance with agricultural government aid programs.

Partners

Developed with support and feedback from academic, agricultural and technology stakeholders.

Solution Workflow

From Satellite Images to Audit Decisions

CropAuditing transforms satellite observations into practical crop-auditing information, turning remote sensing data into parcel-level outputs that support faster agricultural verification.

01

Space layer

Satellite Data

Sentinel-2 imagery and agricultural parcel information form the starting point of the system.

02

Vegetation signal

Vegetation Behaviour

NDVI time series describe how crops evolve across the year and reveal seasonal patterns.

03

Analysis layer

Crop Classification

Machine Learning models analyse satellite-derived patterns to identify crop species and support growth-stage interpretation.

04

Ground decision

Audit Support

The web app presents parcel-level outputs that help users verify agricultural areas and support audit decisions.
