About
Haimdall by Thanks Carbon is an AI-powered remote monitoring platform tailored for smallholder rice farmers in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. It addresses climate-related agricultural risks by providing digital tools and training to adopt sustainable, low-emission practices such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD). Haimdall's mission is to improve farmer livelihoods through income growth, cost reduction, and access to low-carbon certification and markets, all while reducing agriculture's environmental impact.
Capabilities & Features
