AGRICULTURAL
RESEARCH
Preserving soil health and the environment as a whole is essential for ensuring the well-being and sustainable development of society. Currently, we are facing environmental challenges that have direct impacts on our natural resources and significant repercussions on the population.
To thoroughly understand these challenges and propose effective solutions, RAÍCES conducts practical field research. These investigations allow us to assess the impact of various agricultural practices and closely monitor the results of our work.
In order to conduct studies on soil conditions, evaluating their physical condition and developing innovative solutions for conservation, we have established a strategic partnership with RainDrop S.A. de C.V. This local company believes that science and research are fundamental pillars for understanding environmental issues. Their approach is oriented towards promoting appropriate environmental interventions for ecological restoration.

IN AGRICULTURE
VEGETATION COVER MONITORING
Permanent cover is key to soil and water conservation, so we periodically measure permanent cover in agricultural areas to determine the impact of the landscape.
EROSION STUDY
It's an assessment of the impacts that agricultural practices have on coffee and basic grains regarding soil erosion. Applying conservation agriculture reduces erosion and improves infiltration.
PHOTOGRAMMETRY
Through multispectral images, we provide detailed information about the health of crops. This allows for informed decisions regarding crop management and farm optimization.
