Digital MRV

Every field activity linked to its evidence.

We connect field work, satellite data and reporting so every figure can be traced back to its evidence.

Furaha & Baraka Farms (FBF) provides digital monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) for restoration and carbon projects in Kenya and East Africa. Using mobile field data, GPS, GIS, remote sensing and dashboards, FBF creates traceable links between projects, locations, activities, quantities, people, monitoring events and outcomes, giving partners the evidence needed for management, reporting and assurance.

For partners

What working with us on digital MRV looks like

What it is
A monitoring system that links field records, GIS and satellite data so every figure can be traced back to its evidence.
What to expect
Field teams record each activity in our app, tied to a plot, a date and a GPS point. Satellite change is checked on the ground in sample plots before it is reported.
What you gain
A project dashboard for your team, records labelled by evidence stage, and periodic reports and exports you can share with reviewers.
The wider contribution
Claims that can be checked. Findings feed back into planting and aftercare, so restoration improves while it is being measured.

Common questions

Digital monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) connects field activities to the evidence required for management, reporting and assurance. Furaha & Baraka Farms (FBF) provides it for restoration and carbon projects in Kenya and East Africa.

Mobile data collection, GPS, GIS, remote sensing, dashboards and controlled evidence systems.

It creates traceable links between projects, locations, activities, quantities, people, monitoring events and outcomes.

No. Technology improves traceability and supports decision making, but it does not replace field evidence or professional judgment.

It is the verify step of one approach: measure accurately, plan credibly, implement at scale and verify with audit-ready evidence, so one accountable partner covers the whole climate journey.
