Meridia is a private sector organization based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, specializing in land titling and mapping services for smallholder farmers in emerging economies. The company operates in markets such as Ghana and Uganda, where secure land ownership is crucial for economic development and productivity. Meridia's core business model involves providing land titles at scale, which helps smallholders secure their land rights, thereby reducing the risk of eviction and enabling them to invest in their land. This, in turn, leads to significant increases in productivity and income, as evidenced by a 21.9% productivity increase and a 15.5% higher income for farmers with land documents in Ghana. Meridia generates revenue through service fees charged to smallholders and partnerships with organizations focused on improving food security, eradicating poverty, and promoting gender equality. The company also collaborates with brands and supply chains to unlock land value and improve the return on productivity programs. By ensuring clear boundaries and secured land rights, Meridia contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals, including poverty eradication, food security, gender equality, and sustainable management of natural resources.
