Monitoring solutions
A monitoring system built for Dynamic Agroforestry — collect field data on any smartphone, rate every plot with a traffic-light system, and see it all in live dashboards.
Dynamic Agroforestry systems are diverse and multi-layered, and standard farm-monitoring tools simply don’t fit them. The DAF Tracker does. Developed with FarmTree, it was designed, field-tested and refined by ECOTOP to monitor and rate DAF projects.
It runs on any smartphone, works offline, and is fully adaptable to the crops, indicators and goals of each project — turning field visits into structured, comparable data.
Technicians and farmers work through the plots together, right where it matters — recording each one on a phone, even with no network connection.
It keeps monitoring simple and consistent, so the data reflects what is really happening on the ground.
Field teams record every plot on any smartphone — fully offline.
Each plot gets a simple traffic-light performance score.
Dashboards show where to focus and feed your reporting.
Every plot is flagged by a simple traffic light — so you know instantly where things stand.
On track — keep going.
Watch and support.
Priority for intervention.
Every survey flows into live dashboards — plot performance, yields, biomass, area under Dynamic Agroforestry and more, by cooperative, region and over time.
The DAF Tracker is offered as a service, configured to your project. Let’s talk about monitoring your supply.
Talk to our teamWe provide a customised monitoring tool called DAF Tracker, developed for us by FarmTree, specifically designed to support the successful implementation and management of Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF) systems. This tool offers an integrated approach to managing complex agroforestry systems by combining robust data collection and intuitive visualization capabilities.
Comprehensive farmer and polygon profiling with interactive map visualization and customizable scoring metrics enables detailed tracking, strategic planning, and project-specific evaluations.
Document detailed profiles for each farmer and their polygons, capturing essential data such as boundaries, crop compositions, and management practices. This ensures comprehensive documentation and traceability at all stages of the project.
Polygons are displayed on an interactive map, color-coded using a traffic light system (green for optimal performance, yellow for moderate, and red for areas needing attention). This visual approach allows for instant identification of critical areas and supports strategic planning.
Evaluate essential parameters such as plant density, species diversity, pruning quality, soil cover, and organic matter accumulation. The scoring system is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each project.
The DAF tracker enhances DAF systems by providing real-time decision support, offline data collection in remote areas, and advanced data management for improved efficiency and scalability.
Provide stakeholders with actionable insights based on current data. The visual summaries and detailed analysis enable efficient decision-making, improving the productivity and sustainability of DAF systems.
Designed for field conditions, the tool supports offline data collection in remote locations. Data can be synchronized when a connection is available, ensuring uninterrupted operations in challenging environments.
Aggregate and analyze data across regions, cooperatives, or individual farmers. Exportable reports provide insights for both field-level management and strategic scaling efforts.
Our monitoring tool transforms the management of DAF projects by enabling:
With ECOTOP’s guidance, we’ve implemented over 10 successful projects globally, transforming more than 1600 hectares of degraded lands into vibrant Dynamic Agroforestry systems. Their approach combines deep scientific knowledge with practical solutions that deliver significant results.
Our tool is versatile, supporting a variety of agroforestry systems and crops, including cocoa, coffee, bananas, and timber trees. Whether your focus is on carbon sequestration, biodiversity, yield optimization, or cost reduction, this tool is an invaluable asset for achieving project goals.
