About AgTwin™
AgTwin™ is considered to be the first digital twin in agriculture. It provides actionable and marketable insights at the farm scale, enabling landowners to make informed decisions that drive profitability, sustainability, and resilience. The technology also facilitates verifiable reporting to meet the needs of financiers, insurers, customers, and supply chain partners.
Use of Grant Funding
The grant will be used to ramp up work on AgTwin™ and develop key capabilities, including a companion app that will help capture more data about the farm more often. This will enrich the digital twin and provide a more comprehensive view of the farm’s conditions. CEO and co-founder Stu Adam stated that the grant is a testament to the potential of their work and the dedication of their team.
Reporting Functionality
The funding will also support the development of fit-for-purpose reporting functionality. This will allow AgTwin™ to meet the diverse reporting needs of farmers and other stakeholders across the supply chain. Whether it’s a simple PDF or a dynamic integration with supply chain partners, the aim is to make reporting simple and valuable.
Future Projects and Partnerships
Agronomeye has major projects underway, including a recently announced partnership with RegenCo. This collaboration will use AgTwin™ to provide transparency and integrity for regulators, farmers, and investors in the carbon market. The company is excited about the role it is playing in bringing much-needed integrity and transparency to this evolving sector of agriculture.
