Three Pillars, One Field-to-Market Platform
AgriTech Forward connects smallholder farmers directly to buyers, arms them with trustworthy AI advisory, and monitors crop health from the sky — replacing three disconnected tools with a single platform.
Permissioned Blockchain
Virtual Marketplace
Connects smallholder farmers directly to buyers with transparent, traceable transactions — cutting out predatory middlemen.
Grounded Advisory System
RAG Advisory System
Farm advisory answers traced back to verified agricultural sources. Independent evaluation lifted grounding accuracy from 0.12 to 0.66 on average across nine tested models.
Vision Transformer Models
Crop Management & Disease Detection
Multispectral drone imagery flags crop disease and stress early, before losses compound in the field.
Why It Matters
Full Field-to-Market Loop
Marketplace, advisory, and crop monitoring cover the whole smallholder value chain in one platform, not three disconnected tools farmers have to stitch together themselves.
Built to Be Trusted
The advisory pillar's grounding was independently measured across nine AI models before deployment; every answer traces back to a verifiable source, not a guess.
Structured for Institutional Capital
A U.S. public benefit corporation, an affiliated foundation, and a Kenya entity (in formation) give the platform pathways for both commercial investment and grant funding.
Advisory AI That Doesn't Guess
We Tested Nine Leading AI Models to Prove Grounding Works
Every model improved when grounded in verified agricultural data — and our zero-cost local model matched most paid commercial systems.
Trustworthy in the Field
Smallholder farmers act on this advice. Ungrounded answers score under 0.17 on grounding even from top models — grounded answers score 0.66–0.75 across every model we tested.
No Cloud Dependence Required
Our locally-hosted model matches or beats several paid commercial systems, which matters where connectivity and data sovereignty are real constraints, not conveniences.
Cheap to Prove, Cheap to Iterate
The full evaluation ran end-to-end on one workstation plus a few tens of dollars in API judging costs — we can validate a new crop, region, or model swap in days.
