Carbon Capture

With technology licensed from Embrapa, Agrorobótica delivers a complete soil diagnosis in seconds, enabling the monetization of carbon in agriculture.

Embrapa Technology, Laser Power..
The licensed technology creates a 10,000°C plasma flash to instantly reveal the soil's elemental signature, delivering an unprecedented level of detail for agriculture.
Fertility and Carbon, Together..
The analysis farmers already need for soil fertility simultaneously generates the data required to monetize carbon. A win-win for productivity and for a new revenue stream.
Intelligence that Generates Value..
With the data, Agrorobótica generates recommendations to increase productivity, reduce costs, and lower emissions. The implementation of these practices, such as pasture recovery, generates the carbon credits.

The Union of Science and the Field

Agrorobótica's strength comes from the union of two fronts—the on-the-ground vision of agronomist Fábio Angelis and the deep scientific expertise of physicist Aida Magalhães. Their professional collaboration transformed cutting-edge Embrapa science into a practical tool that improves the farmer's decision-making, driving productivity and sustainability side by side.
