Rita Desmyter's relationship with natural landscapes took shape in France and deepened through early work alongside agroecologists in the Sahel, where she first encountered the question PerenOS now addresses. She has since built her career across research, consultancy, and growth strategy in the energy transition, and holds an MSc in Carbon Management.
Building PerenOS is the realisation of that ambition: environments play a structural role in climate mitigation and adaptation, and every entity that holds land needs an operating system to act on it with ecological coherence, learn from it over time, and build long-term resilience.
Purpose
Landscapes are infrastructure for climate resilience.
The ecological knowledge to reason about them exists, distributed across science, field practice, and centuries of place-specific observation.
PerenOS exists to make that knowledge operational, at every scale of society and across the climate horizons that matter.
Mission
PerenOS translates climate science and ecological knowledge into place-specific reasoning about what land and steward together require and can sustain.
PerenOS serves everyone from individual stewards to infrastructure operators with a single reasoning engine and a common standard of evidence.
Vision
Every entity that holds land reasons about it with ecological coherence, acts with confidence, and learns over time.
Landscapes adapt at the pace of climate change, sustained by a global body of distributed knowledge that grows with every site, every season, and every practitioner.
Talk to us before we build further
PerenOS is in active development. The team is speaking with anyone potentially involved, from individual stewards to infrastructure operators, to understand how ecological reasoning fits into real practice. These conversations directly shape what the platform becomes.
Conversations run for 30 to 45 minutes, remote, and are held in full confidence.
