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.
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.
Each XNatura assessment and monitoring suite is based on standard and recognized protocols that help you understand the priority level of your sites in relation to nature, biodiversity, and climate.
