About GMIT
GM IT Consulting UG was founded by Gary Moore with a single premise: the African land stewardship community needed a measurement, reporting, and verification platform built from the ground up for SADC conditions — not adapted from northern-hemisphere templates.
Our Story
The enterprise is built around the Okahandja Homestead in Namibia — a working site where IoT sensor networks, soil carbon sampling protocols, and drone survey methodologies are developed, calibrated, and refined in real SADC conditions.
From Okahandja, the platform extends across five legal entities operating in Germany, Namibia, and Morocco. Every methodology is ground-truthed at the homestead: Namibian savanna phenology calibration for BFAST deforestation detection, encroacher bush confound analysis, soil organic carbon depth profiles under different land management regimes.
No global competitor holds this dataset. That is the defensible market window — and it was built by being present in the field, not by adapting global models from a desk in Europe.

The Okahandja Homestead
The Okahandja Homestead is the operational base in central Namibia — a working farm and research site where every component of the GMIT platform is deployed, tested, and calibrated against real SADC conditions.
IoT sensor network, soil laboratory preparation area, drone hangar, off-grid solar and EV charging infrastructure, and a permaculture productive landscape — all instrumented, monitored, and reported via the GMIT platform.
The homestead serves as the primary calibration dataset for all remote sensing methodologies. Namibian savanna phenology, encroacher bush dynamics, and semi-arid SOC profiles measured here feed directly into the platform models used for all client projects across the region.

Our Mission
GMIT exists to give Southern African land operators, exporters and agribusinesses the environmental intelligence they need to operate with confidence — in global markets, under increasing regulatory scrutiny, and in the face of real environmental pressures on land and water resources.
Every certificate we issue and every report we generate is backed by verifiable data — satellite imagery, field-calibrated sensor readings, documented geolocation. We do not issue compliance documents based on operator self-reporting alone.
Our IoT infrastructure is designed for low-power, low-connectivity environments. LoRaWAN sensors run on battery for two years. Gateways work on 4G LTE with solar power. Our platform is accessible on a basic mobile browser.
Our EUDR certification scheme is built on the actual legal text of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, not a simplified interpretation. Our MRV framework is aligned with international standards. We build for scrutiny, not just appearance.
Compliance is not a one-time event. Our subscription model is designed to keep us engaged with clients throughout the year — providing ongoing intelligence, supporting re-certification and building a longitudinal evidence base.
Why Now
Three converging forces created the need for what GMIT provides.
EUDR 2023/1115 creates a hard compliance deadline for every Southern African exporter reaching EU markets. The regulation is enforced, not aspirational.
Development finance institutions, green bond issuers and agricultural lenders increasingly require verified environmental data — not self-assessment — from borrowers and portfolio companies.
LoRaWAN sensors, cloud infrastructure and satellite analysis are now cost-effective enough to deploy at the farm scale across Southern Africa — not just for large corporations.
“The question Southern African exporters face is no longer whether to get EUDR-compliant. The question is when — and who they trust to do it properly.”
Geographic Focus
Our initial operations cover five SADC source countries under our EUDR certification scheme, with planned expansion to Morocco in Year 3.
Primary operating base. Cattle, wildlife and conservation operations. Desert and semi-arid conditions — a key test environment for our LoRaWAN infrastructure resilience.
Diverse agricultural and forestry sector. Timber, soya, cattle and a well-established financial and certification services ecosystem for partner development.
Tobacco, timber and cattle exports with significant EU market exposure. Growing interest in verified compliance solutions from exporters and development finance clients.
Beef export is a critical sector with direct EU market access requirements. Strong governmental interest in verified sustainability credentials.
Coffee, timber and soya exports with increasing EU buyer scrutiny. Emerging market for both EUDR certification and Digital Twin monitoring in agricultural operations.
Planned Year 3 expansion via Morocco SARL. Olive, citrus and timber sectors with growing EU export compliance requirements.
