Next-Generation Pest and Disease Forecasting

Rethinking pest and disease forecasting

We’re entering a new era of tracking and forecasting pest and disease, one where epidemiological models, AI and satellite data can unlock deeper insights to tackle one of the fastest growing threats to global agriculture.

The world’s most transferable pest and disease models

We develop epidemiological models that provide unique insights and forecasts of how pests and diseases spread and what to do to prevent their impact.

Standardised Transmission Mechanisms

Covering all major routes of pest and disease spread, from wind to human movement.

Analyse, simulate, and predict the changing crop landscape

Declutter the noise and combine real-time intelligence, dynamic simulation, and predictive modelling to help you understand emerging threats, anticipate their spread, and take decisive action to protect crop systems.

Understand

What is the current threat status? Our data generation tools and statistical frameworks provide a single source of intelligence for new developments in your chosen area.

Anticipate

Predict future spread. Our dynamic predictive models help navigate the uncertainty and clearly anticipate threats.

Act

Minimise pest and disease impact. Our analytics and probabilistic tools inform key decisions on resource allocation, investment, and procurement decisions to maximise the impact of interventions to protect supply.

Comprehensive pest and disease management coverage

Our products cover the full pest and disease lifecycle, from field-level data collection and market-standard forecasting to decision tools that quantify the impact of different interventions.

ForeSight

Our proprietary outbreak engine offers unprecedented clarity into how pests and diseases emerge, spread, and impact supply chains through the contextualisation of biological risk with agronomic, environmental, and market intelligence.

FieldSense

FieldSense brings together every major signal, drone imagery, satellite analytics, and automated anomaly detection into one unified system that shows exactly where risk is emerging and why.

PathFinder

Agriculture is shaped by uncertainty: shifting weather, new pest incursions, evolving diseases, and resource constraints. PathFinder cuts through that uncertainty by showing you how the future unfolds under different choices, strategies, and conditions.

Know first. Act faster.

Real-time insight. Effortless intelligence. Immediate confidence.

Built for the industries protecting global food security

From crop protection companies developing the next generation of interventions, governments coordinating national responses, to insurers quantifying agricultural risk, our forecasts serve those on the front lines of pest and disease management.

Agribusiness

Predict where and when pest and disease pressure will emerge across key markets.
Insurance

Improve underwriting, pricing, and portfolio exposure with predictive intelligence.
Governments and NGOs

Detect outbreaks earlier and allocate limited resources more effectively.
