Case Studies
U.S. Case Study 1: Crop Insurance Risk Profiling – Central California
An agricultural insurer partnered with Enviro Finance Tech to deploy soil moisture sensors across vineyards in the Central Valley. Real-time data allowed underwriters to dynamically adjust risk scores during drought season, leading to more accurate premium assessments and a 25% reduction in unexpected claims.
U.S. Case Study 2: Drought Monitoring for Commodity Risk – Kansas and Oklahoma
A major reinsurer installed Enviro Finance Tech’s sensor networks across high-value wheat fields. The integration with drought forecasting models enabled better reserves management and payout predictions, improving profitability in two consecutive dry seasons.
Canadian Case Study: Smart Irrigation Insurance Partnership – Alberta
In collaboration with a provincial agri-insurer, Enviro Finance Tech equipped mid-size farms with soil sensors and irrigation management software. Insured clients using the system reduced overwatering by 40%, earning premium discounts while helping the insurer limit liability from water waste-related claims.
