Four pillars of environmental intelligence

From EU regulatory compliance to on-the-ground field verification — we deliver the data and analysis that nature-positive organisations need to operate with confidence.

📋
EUDR & Regulatory Compliance

We help European companies navigate the EU Deforestation Regulation, CSRD biodiversity reporting, and emerging nature-risk frameworks — backed by real field data from origin landscapes.

  • Deforestation risk assessments & supply chain traceability
  • EUDR due diligence documentation
  • CSRD / ESRS E4 biodiversity disclosures
  • EU Taxonomy alignment & TNFD / SBTN support
  • Horizon Europe & LIFE programme technical inputs
🌿
Biodiversity & Nature-Based Solutions

We design, assess, and validate biodiversity projects — from REDD+ monitoring to biodiversity credit scoping — with a scientific rigour rooted in field experience across tropical ecosystems.

  • Ecosystem assessment & biodiversity monitoring
  • Biodiversity credit scoping & verification support
  • REDD+ MRV systems & carbon project advisory
  • Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) planning
  • Nature-based solution feasibility studies
🤖
Environmental AI & Data Intelligence

We develop expert-level environmental datasets for frontier AI models, conduct remote sensing analysis, and deliver predictive modelling for land-use and climate risks.

  • Expert LLM training datasets for climate & ecology
  • Remote sensing analysis (Sentinel-2, Landsat, GEE)
  • Land-use change detection & predictive modelling
  • AI model evaluation for environmental reasoning
  • Data visualisation & spatial analysis reports
🛸
Field Verification & Drone Intelligence

We deploy drone-assisted surveys, GIS mapping, and ground-truth data collection across Central and West Africa — providing the field credibility that desk-based analysis cannot replicate.

  • Drone photogrammetry & aerial surveys
  • GIS mapping & spatial data collection
  • Ground-truth validation for carbon & biodiversity projects
  • Community & stakeholder engagement in field operations
  • Forest monitoring & ecosystem health assessments

The bridge most consultancies can't build

Most environmental consultancies either have the academic credentials or the field experience. We have both — and we connect them with AI-era data capabilities.

01
Field truth from Africa's most complex ecosystems

Over six years of conservation fieldwork in Cameroon — including WWF partner assessments in the Campo Ma'an National Park, community land-use mapping, and biodiversity monitoring in the Congo Basin region. We don't just read reports about these landscapes. We have worked in them.

02
European academic and regulatory fluency

Dual European MSc degrees from TU Dresden and the University of Copenhagen, plus active engagement with EUDR, CSRD, REDD+, EU Taxonomy, TNFD, and SBTN frameworks. We speak the language of European regulators and institutional clients.

03
AI capability built at the frontier

Active as an environmental AI expert at Alignerr and Outlier.ai's Pegasus HLE Project — designing expert-level environmental reasoning datasets for state-of-the-art AI models. We don't just talk about AI in sustainability. We build the intelligence systems behind it.

04
Multilingual across the markets that matter

Operating in English, French, German, and Lamnso — covering European client markets, Francophone African field operations, and indigenous community engagement without relying on intermediaries.

Kisife Fomotar Jude — Founder, Biofarms.ai
Kisife Fomotar Jude Founder, Biofarms.ai

I am an environmental professional and field-verified intelligence specialist combining tropical forestry expertise, AI and machine learning capabilities, and hands-on remote sensing to deliver ground-truth insights at the intersection of forestry, biodiversity, climate policy, and emerging technology.

I founded Biofarms.ai to bridge a gap I witnessed firsthand: European institutions and markets increasingly depend on environmental data from Africa's tropical landscapes — yet most of that data is generated at a distance, without the field credibility that rigorous verification demands.

With dual European MSc degrees, six years of field conservation work in Central and West Africa, and active roles at the frontier of AI-driven environmental science, I bring a rare combination of academic rigour, on-the-ground experience, and technical capability to every engagement.

Research & publications

Peer-reviewed research, academic theses, and published analysis spanning forest governance, tropical deforestation, and climate justice.

MSc Thesis
Constitutionality and Forest Resource Management: The Bakossi Landscape, Cameroon

Investigated how six constitutionality principles shape bottom-up forest governance in SW Cameroon. Qualitative fieldwork — focus groups and key informant interviews with traditional councils and conservation officers. Findings show indigenous institutions play a decisive governance role when formally recognised within national conservation frameworks.
