Grow Through Sustainable Practices
We align sustainability initiatives, organizations, and suppliers for maximum impact and profitability
Smallholder Data Services (SDS) is a consulting and research firm dedicated to delivering strategies, insights, and designs for solutions that enable a revolution in both sustainable supply chains and regenerative agriculture.
We have determined that data, as a new farm product, can financially reward businesses involved in sustainable production, including smallholders in the global south.
We understand that business and sustainability must become aligned.
This includes (and is not limited to) developing measurable methodologies, incorporating digital and natural assets into business models, and driving a consistent knowledge base across internal disciplines so that sustainability, finance, legal, and marketing teams develop the same understanding of sustainability programs.
