SoilSynth - Climate Intelligence
A new layer of data infrastructure helping financial institutions understand agricultural risk from the ground up.
The Invisible Layer
Soil is the foundation of every agricultural decision - yet it remains one of the least understood variables in lending, program design, and policy. Trillions in capital are allocated annually based on what is above ground, while the variables below it go unmeasured.
The Gap
Farmers
Smallholders lack standardized data needed to access agricultural credit - not because their land is not productive, but because productivity is unmeasured.
Institutions
Banks, insurers, and program managers make multi-million dollar decisions on land they cannot see. Risk models rely on proxies, not ground truth.
The System
The agricultural financing gap exceeds $170bn annually in emerging markets. Poor soil data sits at the center of this market failure.
What We're Building
Building the intelligence layer for soil data - transforming how agricultural systems are understood, evaluated, and financed.
Outcomes
Give credit institutions the soil risk signals they need to price agricultural exposure with confidence.
Replace proxy assumptions with standardized soil indicators, enabling actuarial models to reflect ground-level reality.
Reduce perceived uncertainty in smallholder agriculture, unlocking capital that currently sits on the sideline.
Direct subsidies, inputs, and extension programs to where they generate the highest measurable impact.
Who It's For
SoilSynth is built for the organizations that shape agricultural outcomes at scale - banks, insurers, NGOs, and governments - who need a common language for soil risk to make better decisions.
Soil Laboratories
Every number SoilSynth works with starts on a laboratory bench. Lab Tool is the software that gets it there - a laboratory information management system that carries a sample from the moment it reaches reception, through result entry and manager review, to a finished report in the client's hands. Your analysts spend their time on chemistry instead of paperwork, and the data comes out standardized enough to be worth something beyond the report.
Register soil, foliar, water, and organic samples as they arrive at reception. Every sample gets a sequential code scoped to your laboratory and year.
Photograph a completed bench sheet and the values are read straight into the result form, ready for a technician to confirm before anything is saved.
Purpose-built forms for each sample type, driven by your own analysis catalogue - so technicians only ever see the fields that apply to the work in front of them.
Every result set is snapshotted before it changes. Raise a retest and the original stays on the record, so nothing is quietly overwritten.
Generate branded PDF reports carrying your laboratory's logo, colours, and details - ready to send to the client the moment results are approved.
Managers, technicians, and clerks each see only what their work requires. Two-factor authentication and a full audit log come as standard.
Tell us about your lab and we will set you up with a demo account loaded with sample data, so you can walk the full workflow - intake to report - before you commit to anything.
