# Epoch Blue

> Epoch Blue is the first-mile data layer for supply chains: one API for EUDR
> compliance, carbon reporting, water stress, and biodiversity. Epoch monitors
> 250M+ hectares and 15M+ farms across 24,000+ corporates, generating
> compliance-grade plot boundaries from satellite data — detecting first-mile
> data rather than demanding it from suppliers ("detect, don't collect").
