Data Sources

Agrimetrics combines data from various open and licensed data sources, including proprietary datasets created by Agrimetrics or our partners to address gaps in the agri-food data landscape. We collect data, but also connect it by using pioneering digital technologies that enable individual pieces of data to be linked to each other, across sources in a highly flexible and adaptable way. Traditional tabular databases are not able to do this, which has dramatically curtailed the sector's ability to exploit diverse sources of information.

Agrimetrics' current products include data from the following sources.

Field Boundaries

Historical weather

Recent weather

Recent rainfall

Solar Radiation

Soil Carbon

Soil Nitrogen

Soil pH

Soil Phosphorus

Soil bacterial diversity

Soil invertebrate abundance

Priority Habitats

Water Quality

Broad Habitat Classification

Crop Distribution

The data as presented in our products may be the result of further aggregation or transformation by Agrimetrics, including deriving additional parameters from calculations or modelling using data from one or more source as input. Common transformations are described here.

Where the source has no data (for example, environmental sensor error at a location on a particular day, or limits to the geographic coverage), Agrimetrics will normally preserve this gap faithfully in the data we provide, rather than interpolating data ourselves to fill the gap. This is considered safer, in most cases, than adopting data interpolation methods that may be different to the original source's methods and may cause inconsistencies. It also ensures that users are clear about what data is real, rather than silently replacing missing actuals with synthetic values that may be less reliable.
