Case studies

Real places. Real satellite photos.

Public map data has no field boundaries for Nigerian cocoa, so each case is built from open farm edges or farm edges Forestline traced from satellite photos. None is a Forestline customer, and no owner or farmer was contacted. Each case says so on its page.
