Introducing Agcess
Using satellite imagery for precision agriculture metrics and SMS messaging to deliver them, Agcess provides actionable insights to small farmers in rural communities and emerging markets. Our work is bridging the technology gap between corporate and local farms by equipping smallholder farmers to optimize food production and climate-friendly practices.
Democratizing Precision Agriculture
Digital innovation has the potential to change the landscape of sustainability in agriculture in the next few decades. Most new precision agriculture startups curtail their business model around "Big Ag." This widens the technology gap between large corporations and your local farms. We aim to bridge this divide by providing affordable access to precision agriculture. Our product will first demo in the New York region, with hopes of expanding elsewhere.
