Data at source: enabling the rural circular economy.

We measure, certify and trace organic by-products right where they are generated. Our technology turns scattered, invisible flows into resources with a name, a quantity and a destination. For rural communities, bioenergy plants and valorisation operators.

The problem

Rural value chains have a data problem.

The countryside generates large organic flows: cheese whey, livestock slurry, agricultural by-products and more. But they are produced across thousands of small farms, in variable quantities and with no records at all. What isn’t measured can’t be collected efficiently, certified or sold.

01

Scattered

Hundreds of small producers in valleys and mountains, far from treatment plants. Without economies of scale, collection doesn’t pay off.

02

Invisible

Nobody knows how much is generated, when, or in what condition. Without known volumes and quality, no operator can plan or commit to a supply.

03

Perishable

Use it or lose it. No data means no contract, no certification, no value. Storage times kill the value of these flows. Organic degradation converts a potential source of value into an environmental liability for the producer.

Without data at source there is no circular economy. With it, every waste stream becomes a resource that can be collected, certified and put to use.

Our approach

We capture data where the resource is born.

We install connected equipment on the farm itself. Every delivery is recorded at the moment and place it is generated, as a precise, auditable figure ready to be shared with any system. That record is the missing piece that makes everything else work.

How much

Volume of every delivery, measured automatically.

What

Type of stream and its condition at the time of delivery.

Where and when

Exact farm, location and time.

From whom and to where

Producer, collection and destination, in a verifiable chain of custody.

How it works

From scattered waste to certified resource, in four steps.

Hardware at source, a cloud data platform and a team that coordinates collection.

  1. 01

    Capture

    IoT equipment on the farm or food business measures every delivery the moment it is generated: how much, what, and in what condition.

  2. 02

    Certify

    Every transaction is recorded automatically and sealed in a blockchain-backed chain of custody.

  3. 03

    Coordinate

    With real-time data we plan efficient collection routes and supervise the equipment on behalf of the waste operator.

    Supervision and logistics
  4. 04

    Valorise

    We make it possible: the plant operator receives a resource with certified origin, quantity and quality, ready to become energy, fertiliser or new products.

    Valorisation plants

One record, many beneficiaries

The same record creates value along the whole chain.

Data interoperability aligns the interests of those who generate the flow, those who recover its value and the communities that host it.

Users

Rural producers

Livestock farmers, cheesemakers and growers stop carrying a problem. They hand over their waste effortlessly, stay compliant and protect their surroundings.

Customers

Waste operators and plants

Quantified, predictable and traceable supply. Optimised routes and feedstock of known quality.

Community

Territory and PDOs

Less dumping, lower emissions and reliable data for decision-making. A future for traditional livestock farming.

Impact

Certification and investment

Verifiable evidence of impact (tonnes managed, tCO₂ avoided) to certify and finance projects.

Already running

Cabrales pilot: data at source in the heart of the Picos de Europa.

Since autumn 2024 we have been collecting whey from the artisan cheese dairies of the Cabrales PDO that operate inside the National Park, in Tielve (Asturias, Spain). Every litre is measured, traced and certified from the dairy all the way to its valorisation.

Our own technology

Equipment adapted to the flow, the territory and the valorisation route.

Units automate critical flow management processes, generating verifiable data in real time that is centralised in a cloud platform and keeps the chain of custody. Patented and developed by Agrolinera.

Slurry

DPT System

For bioenergy operators, livestock communities and cooperatives: slurry transfer device that records every delivery from the farm’s slurry pit, enhancing biogas potential and proof of sustainability.

Data

Agrolinera platform

Monitoring, traceability and a blockchain-backed chain of custody. For agricultural producing communities needing to ensure the quality of their by-products and certify the origin and conditions of production. Data at source, available to every stakeholder.

A replicable model

From waste to resource. Data at source works for any dispersed organic stream.

In operation

Whey

Artisan cheese dairies. Running in the Cabrales pilot (Asturias). Digitalisation for communities, enabling a circular economy that sustains the environment and the rural population.

Rolling out

Slurry

Biomethane plants. Livestock communities. Managed at source for efficiency, traceability and social licence.

Piloting

Cocoa and coffee

Agricultural by-products in new producing regions. Compliance for EUDR, environmental and social impact.

By-products from small farms have value too.

If you produce them, we help you make the most of them and protect your environment. If you process them, you gain visibility on a new resource, traceable, controlled and certified at source.
