Turn Climate Challenges into Business Opportunities

Climate resilience delivers a triple dividend for businesses: avoided losses, new market opportunities, and social and environmental benefits. Building a climate resilience strategy for your business can accelerate all three. In fact, climate resilience is one of the biggest market (and social) opportunities for companies today. ClimateAi has helped dozens of companies adapt to climate volatility, so we’ve got front-row seats to what works — and what doesn’t.

Check out our 2024 Climate Resilience Playbook for a detailed roadmap and case studies.

ClimateLens Monitor Yield Outlook FAQs

ClimateAi’s process-based crop model combines cutting edge agronomic science with machine learning techniques to estimate crop yields from meteorological data, soil characteristics, and agronomic actions. ClimateAi’s yield model has strong skill in estimating climate-related impacts on yield, given our best-in-class historical data, forecasting methodology, and crop-specific agronomic risk models, but does not account for other non-climate factors, such as pests.

Models are calibrated by crop and by region, translating weather-related hazards (e.g., extreme heat, drought) into impact on yield based on timing and severity of the hazard relative to the respective crop’s phenological stage and vulnerability to the hazard.

As a quality assurance practice, we require that our crop model be validated for each crop/region in terms of its ability to reproduce a reasonable fraction of the yield variability in historic yield records. ClimateAi will not offer yield outlooks for a crop/geography that hasn’t passed our threshold for a robust model.

For a model to be “validated robust” it needs to explain more than 20% of the observed yield variance through a leave-one-year-out (LOYO) cross-validation approach (1). This threshold is based on the fact that climate variability accounts for ~⅓ of yield variability(2), given other factors like agricultural practices, pests, and diseases.

1: LOYO cross-validation is a technique where each year in the modeled yield data is estimated by calibrating the model using all other years’ data, excluding the specific year being estimated. It helps assess how well a model generalizes to unseen data.

From planting until the end of the harvesting stage, ClimateAi’s outlooks will refresh every Monday on a weekly basis. When a crop is “out of season” for a particular geography, dashboards will not update.

Monitor Yield Outlook offers clear forward-looking (vs. simply diagnostic) insights into climate impacts on production, drawing on our proprietary seasonal forecast data and deep knowledge of agronomic risk. Outlooks are updated on a weekly basis (vs. other reports’ seasonal or monthly cadence), providing up-to-date insights throughout the season. Alongside state and regional-level forecasts, we also deliver yield outlooks for customer’s specific growing / sourcing locations, enabling granular insight into supplier-specific sourcing risks. We also have the ability to complement seasonal outlooks with long-term yield projections, to help drive strategic planning and decision making.
