AgLaunch Farmer Network Informational Webinar

Farming is changing rapidly. We all know the role of data, conservation, direct-to-end user markets, and traceability are the future, but farmers are often left figuring it out on their own. The AgLaunch Farmer Network connects farmers with startup companies and specialty crop opportunities to beta test ideas, offer feedback, and ultimately increase farm efficiencies and earning power.

The AgLaunch Farmer Network members collaborate with entrepreneurs to test innovative pre-commercial technologies and specialty crops on their farms. Connections forged through the network are creating more opportunities for farmers to engage with novel investment models, data monetization, and new production practices.

The AgLaunch model is a pioneering approach in the agricultural sector, blending venture investment with a farm-centric innovation strategy. This distinctive framework prioritizes the direct involvement of farmers in shaping and utilizing agricultural technologies, offering them equity in the startups they collaborate with. By doing so, it ensures that the solutions developed are not only aligned with real agricultural needs but also contribute to a more equitable and sustainable farming future. Through this model, AgLaunch provides startups with access to funding, expert advice, and a network of innovative farms for pilot testing and practical application. This ensures that agricultural innovations are both effective in the field and beneficial to the farmers’ businesses, promoting advancements that are truly transformative and farmer-focused.
