Solving the Global Food Problem by Digitalizing Agriculture.

THE STORY OF AGRIVI

Changing the Way Food is Produced.

Since the dawn of time, food has been at the center of organized society. People have gone to extreme lengths to provide stable and sustainable food sources. We took risks, migrated to unknown territories, and changed our ways of life dramatically. Industrialization and globalization revolutionized agriculture with a focus on yield increase and economy of scale and strong progress was made. However, did we achieve our goals?

Food security – By 2050, Earth’s population will have reached 9 billion people and global food production will need to increase by over 60% if we are to feed the entire population.

Nutrition and food safety – Each year worldwide, unsafe food causes 600 million cases of foodborne diseases and 420 000 deaths. We are what we eat and producing nutritious, healthy, and safe food is the major requirement for the agri-food industry.

Climate change – Agriculture, forestry, and land-use change were estimated to contribute 20–25% of global annual emissions and impact the climate. Vice versa, climate events like drought, hail, frost, and floods represent one of the major yield loss factors that impact agriculture production.

Soil health and biodiversity – Conventional agriculture practices have been involved with soil erosion caused by nutrient loss, run-off, salinity, and drought. Healthy soils rich with living organisms improve the entry and storage of water, resistance to erosion, plant nutrition, and break down of organic matter. They are crucial for building a resilient and sustainable food system.

Local self-sufficiency – The global COVID-19 pandemic made everyone realize how fragile the globalized food eco-system is. Disruptions in the global supply chain left many people without access to food and have put a strong focus on creating a locally sustainable and self-sufficient food production system.

Farmer livelihoods – Farmers are the heroes who produce the food we eat. Pressured by many challenges and risks, from climate, pests, market prices – farmers have a hard time achieving profitability and secure decent livelihoods for their families. One billion people work in agriculture, improving their livelihood is of major importance.

AGRIVI was born in 2013 with a grand yet simple vision – to solve the global food problem by changing the way food is produced and positively impact over a billion people.

The AGRIVI approach to solving the global food problem is through the digitalization of agriculture, that is, by switching the farmer’s decision-making reliant on traditional practices and historical knowledge to the new data-driven and fact-based decision-making empowered by best-growing practices and real-time agronomic insights available using technology.

We believe that the digital transformation of the entire agri-food industry is essential for solving the global food problem and we are focused on both changing the way farmers produce and on empowering collaboration between the agri-food value chain and farmers.

The solution is not just in bringing a simple farming app to growers, it is about supporting them in adopting new concepts of the crop management system, by enforcing best-growing practices that focus on sustainability, food safety, and nutrition, timely protecting their crops to mitigate the risk of yield loss and ensuring efficiency of the field operations to secure profitability. The change is in adopting a new way in which companies collaborate with growers to secure a sustainable and efficient food supply chain.

At AGRIVI, we have built a comprehensive suite of digital agriculture solutions for farms, food companies, input manufacturers, retail companies, agribusiness banks, ministries of agriculture, and other important stakeholders of the agri-food value chain to support them in adopting the change and empower their digital transformation projects.

Our powerful agriculture technology solutions provide real-time agronomic and economic insights throughout the entire food production process and support producers with data, knowledge, and advice to produce healthy, nutritious, and safe food by applying sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices.

We empower agri-food stakeholders to collaborate with growers by using technology, provide them with agronomic practices and advice to meet the quality requirements and make their production sustainable and profitable, and utilize big data analytics to identify which actual practices their farmers apply to lead to the best food quality and much more.

The positive impact on over 100 million people worldwide that we already create together with our customers and partners in 100+ markets makes us confident that change is possible and the future is bright. We are humbled to be a part of the solution and proud that today we are a global leader in digital agriculture.
