title: Coffee companies launch satellite-based program to track deforestation

description: Several coffee companies and coffee traders are launching a new system to track deforestation related to coffee cultivation around the world, JDE Peet's, one of the participating companies, said in a...

snippets: The announcement repeatedly emphasizes the stakes for smallholder farmers, who many researchers and development groups have said face market-exclusion risks due to a lack of financial or technical capacity for EUDR compliance. It also echoes a broader concern that shade-grown and agroforestry coffee farms can be misclassified as forest, further complicating smallholder compliance.

snippets: Under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), coffee grown on land classified as forest after December 2020 may not enter EU markets. This threatens to exclude millions of smallholder farmers from key markets, despite their sustainable farming practices, simply because existing maps incorrectly classify their agroforestry or shade-grown coffee production land as forest.

snippets: This threatens to exclude millions of smallholder farmers from key markets, despite their sustainable farming practices, simply because existing maps incorrectly classify their agroforestry or shade-grown coffee production land as forest," said the statement from JDE Peet's. It added that the initiative will address "the historical lack of precise mapping data, which has frequently resulted in coffee farms...

title: Airbus and JDE Peet's team up for worldwide coffee plantation mapping powered by satellite imagery

snippets: Subject of Research : Long-term wetland subclass extraction and monitoring in Bangladesh using remote sensing and advanced geospatial analysis techniques.

snippets: For private properties, customers are notified before any work begins. Crews then complete the necessary pruning and return afterward to remove debris. In cases where urgent cutting is required, it may not always be possible to provide advance notice.

snippets: The study's success was also facilitated by advancements in cloud computing infrastructure. Processing high volumes of satellite imagery to extract and update sample points over multiple years and seasons demands substantial computational power. Google Earth Engine's cloud-native architecture eliminates such constraints, enabling near real-time analysis over vast geographic extents.

In this context, the Coffee Canopy Partnership addresses a fundamental challenge within the sector: the historical lack of precise mapping data,

snippets: As a leading global merchant and processor of agricultural goods, active across the entire coffee value chain, we see strong data foundations and collaboration as essential enablers of sustainability at scale. We are therefore proud to stand alongside like-minded partners to support this initiative that fully aligns with LDC's own environmental goals ." Marten Sievers, CEO EMEA, Neumann Kaffee Gruppe,

description: Using Airbus's advanced satellite technology, the Partnership will map coffee farms across coffee-growing landscapes, identify areas of forest loss, and work with governments to restore landscapes and prevent future deforestation. The Partnership initiative launches with an East Africa pilot covering Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda – mapping 1.2 million square kilometers of coffee landscapes.

snippets: A sustainable coffee industry is one in which coffee production no longer contributes to forest loss. To help advance this vision, we are launching the Coffee Canopy Partnership. The Partnership is designed to move beyond fragmented, company-led deforestation initiatives by fostering collaboration at a landscape scale – supporting efforts to map and safeguard coffee-growing regions, not just individual supply chains.

snippets: Veronika Semelkova, Head of Sustainability, Sucden Coffee, said: "The Canopy Project sets a new benchmark for how the EUDR can be implemented in a way that genuinely tackles deforestation. It demonstrates unprecedented leadership, ambition, and collaboration in the pre-competitive space, delivering an open-source, aligned methodology that the entire sector can build on.

title: MinersMe: Cloud Mining Infrastructure Powering the Future of Bitcoin Mining

description: This broader semantic positioning can help support stronger long-term brand ranking. For external publication, the best-performing article structure is usually one that combines three things: educational explanation, infrastructure framing, and brand consistency.

snippets: Another important SEO angle for MinersMe is infrastructure credibility. On its hosting pages, MinersMe states that it offers professional ASIC miner hosting in the UAE, with 3000+ miners hosted, 99%+ uptime, and 24/7 monitoring. These kinds of infrastructure signals matter because searchers looking for bitcoin mining or cloud mining services often respond more strongly to operational clarity than to general promotional language.

snippets: This type of offering is useful for people who want to understand the structure of mining participation without stepping directly into full hardware ownership. For users seeking greater infrastructure exposure, the Mining Contract model is presented around real machine ownership and hosted operation. The Digital Contract model is positioned as a more structured participation route.

description: Tortola, British Virgin Islands — Chronyx Studios, the game development studio behind Sands of Avalon, is highlighting the successful close of its $1.5 million Seed round, completed in July 2022, with backing from MH Ventures, HVS Ventures, NeuralHash Capital,Brotherhood Ventures, GAP VC, TPC, and other investors. The funding provided By Albert Morgan Apr 18, 2026

snippets: Uzbekistan offers the longest tax holiday. It also provides direct grid access and a green mandate. This combination is unique. The country also has lower labor costs. This reduces operational expenses further. The government provides streamlined licensing. This reduces bureaucratic delays. These factors make Uzbekistan a top choice for miners. However, the region has limited internet infrastructure. The government is investing in upgrades. This should be complete by 2026.

snippets: Yahya Raza is a Technology Analyst at Tronweekly, covering cryptocurrency markets, blockchain-related developments, and digital asset regulations. He has over one year of experience reporting on Bitcoin, altcoins, and broader crypto market trends. His reporting focuses on market movements, crypto scams and hacks, security-related incidents, and regulatory developments, examining how technological risks and policy actions impact the crypto ecosystem.

description: p style="line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0in">In the bigger picture, MinersMe is trying to position itself at the intersection of cloud mining access, ASIC infrastructure, and managed digital participation. Whether someone is searching for a beginner-friendly mining entry point, hosted ASIC operations, or a broader view of digital mining infrastructure, the company's strongest ranking path will come from consistent educational publishing backed by clear infrastructure language and unified brand links.

description: As interest in Bitcoin and digital assets continues to grow, more people are searching for practical ways to understand and participate in the mining | The Eastern Herald

snippets: The mining industry continues to evolve under competitive pressure. Hardware efficiency improves with each ASIC generation, the energy mix shifts toward renewables, and the halving schedule steadily reduces the subsidy that miners depend on. The transition from block rewards to transaction fees as the primary miner incentive will be the defining challenge for Bitcoin's long-term security model.

snippets: p style="line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0in">The goal is simple: when someone searches for MinersMe, cloud mining, bitcoin mining infrastructure, or crypto mining platform, they should repeatedly encounter consistent brand signals, infrastructure-focused content, and authoritative mentions that all point back to the same ecosystem. That is how brand SEO compounds over time.

title: Polymarket joins Kalshi in race to launch perpetual futures

snippets: Cantor Fitzgerald's analysis highlights a strategic shift within financial technology. Prediction markets represent more than mere product extensions. They signify fundamental evolution for trading platforms. Coinbase and Robinhood are positioning themselves accordingly.

snippets: On April 13, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour previewed the "Timeless" product through a mysterious promotional video that disclosed the April 27 release date. Kalshi's offering will incorporate cryptocurrency perpetual futures, positioning it as a direct rival to major platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood.

snippets: Polymarket said Tuesday that perpetual futures are coming to its platform, making the prediction market giant the latest to push into leveraged derivatives after Kalshi's own perps plans surfaced earlier in the day.

title: Kalshi weighs crypto perpetual futures expansion in U.S. derivatives market

description: Kalshi considers expanding into cryptocurrency perpetual futures, signaling broader product offerings as U.S. derivatives market competition heats up.

snippets: Regulated derivatives platforms in the U.S. are widening the range of products they aim to offer as competition intensifies across digital asset trading.

snippets: Kalshi, the CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange, is reportedly preparing to launch crypto currency perpetual futures contracts, according to The Information. This move could mark a significant pivot from its core focus on binary event contracts, positioning the platform as a player in the rapidly growing derivatives trading sector.

However, many banks struggle to meet client expectations due to manual handovers and costly rework loops involving multiple external parties like attorneys and appraisers.

snippets: Founded in 2015 by Brookwood Financial Partners, a Boston-based real estate-focused private equity firm, Yesway has emerged as one of the fastest-growing convenience store operators in the United States.

snippets: About Yesway - Established in 2015 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, Yesway is an award-winning convenience store operator with 449 stores across nine states in the Midwest and Southwest. Yesway is renowned for its iconic foodservice offerings, diverse grocery selections, and private-label products, including the famous Allsup's deep-fried burrito.

snippets: Over the last decade, c-stores have been taking market share from fast-food chains. Chains like Wawa, Buc-ee's and Casey's General Stores have won over customers with their fresh food, boosted by their offerings' low prices and convenience. Breakfast, in particular, has become a battleground between c-stores and fast-food rivals like McDonald's and Taco Bell.

snippets: Convenience retail is often called " recession -resistant" because people still buy essentials and cheap treats in tougher times. But Yesway's own risks are a reminder that no business is fully insulated: energy prices can change driving habits, squeeze household budgets, and shift what shoppers put in their baskets. In that sense, a humble convenience chain can act like a small, fast-moving signal of both consumer stress and the knock-on effects of volatile oil markets.

snippets: If you've already tried a Wawa hoagie and a Casey's pizza, it's time to put a Yesway deep-fried burrito on your list.

Shares were initially priced at $20, raising more than $280 million, and the company's Chairman and CEO Thomas Trkla, spoke with Barron's after he rang the opening bell at the Wednesday morning.
