AerYield.
Helping agriculture manage ozone impacts.
We quantify and forecast how ozone silently reduces yields – crop by crop, field by field, year by year.
Climate change and wildfires drive ozone levels up. Rising ozone levels silently drive crop yields down. And each region faces its own seasonal ozone pattern. We support agricultural decision-makers with insights that improve profitability and reduce risk.
The problem
Yield loss you can’t see
Farmers lose yield every year to ground-level ozone, but they can’t see it, measure it, or manage it.
Invisible & chronic
Unlike drought, or hail, ozone damage leaves no visible signs and accumulates across the growing season silently
Highly variable
Yield losses vary strongly by location and year. Ozone damage depends on local pollution, weather, crop sensitivity, and seasonal conditions.
Economically material
Yield losses of 5–25% for sensitive crops.
Billions in lost revenue annually across major farming regions.
Despite decades of academic research, the damage stays invisible and unmanaged at the farm level.
Why this problem is growing
Ozone is a resurgent problem for the agricultural sector.
Crop yields are under threat, and ozone is a missing driver
Our Solution is AerYield
AerYield quantifies ozone-driven yield losses by crop and location, so customers can compare options and reduce risk.

The Technology
How AerYield Works
Field input & context setup
Users start by selecting the location of their fields, along with the crops grown and the relevant growing season.
This defines the spatial and temporal context for the analysis, ensuring that all calculations are specific to each farm’s real-world conditions.
Ozone exposure & yield loss modelling
AerYield combines satellite air quality data with environmental models to calculate cumulative ground-level ozone exposure above a harmful threshold (40 ppb) for every hour of daylight in the growing season.
Crop-specific yield losses are then estimated using peer-reviewed relationships between ozone exposure and crop sensitivity.
Decision-ready insights & dashboard
Results are delivered through an interactive dashboard that turns ozone exposure into actionable insights.
Users can identify the most affected fields and crops, track changes over time, and explore how future risks may evolve.
