About Meridia Meridia is an agtech company built around the first mile: the plots, farmers and aggregation points at the origin of every agriculture supply chain. Our first mile intelligence combines what field teams see on the ground and what satellites see from above, in the context of local law, foreign regulation and international frameworks. It rests on over a decade of field experience, our data lake covering 20%+ of the world’s agricultural land, a network of origin experts across the global South and a stellar team of 70+ agriculture, data and tech experts. Meridia Verify®, our verification solution, checks supply chain field data against regulatory and voluntary sustainability frameworks in minutes and guides teams from risk detection to resolution. One platform covers EUDR, Deforestation- and Conversion-Free (DCF) commitments and Scope 3 land-use emissions at plot level, and benchmarks a supply chain against sector baselines. Meridia Illuminate®, our sourcing intelligence solution, leverages the same first-mile data foundation to support secure sourcing decisions and resilient supply chains for the operators who shape global food and agriculture trade.
