The Opportunity:

Consumers want products that meet the loftier goals of environment, well-being and fair trade

As the world rebuilds its agricultural and food supply chain from the unprecedented stress of the 2020 pandemic and its inflationary aftermath, there is an increased demand from consumers for a reduced environmental footprint, improved nutritional values, and the traceability of production.

Growers globally are aware of highly lucrative opportunities such as carbon markets, ecosystem service credits, and regenerative agriculture, but do not have the tools or guidance on how to take advantage of these opportunities, but they do know that without maintaining good documentation on their production practices, they will never be able to participate in these emerging opportunities

The Problem:

Digitizing farm operational data is considered low-return on management time

The kinds of data needed to participate in the new markets (e.g. keeping notes on fertilizer application rates) is well beyond what growers are typically used to documenting. This data needs to be captured in near real time and in a way that is suitable for automated data analysis.

Some of this data can be acquired automatically from equipment (e.g. drones) and sensors (i.e. IoT)

A grower puts a very high value on the time spent in farm management. Adding a burden for increased documentation must be justified with a strong return on their time investment
