AgriPlace is a lean start-up dedicated to decreasing the barriers to sustainable food production, nationally and internationally. We do this by reengineering the processes by which farm level data is collected, analyzed and shared in agricultural supply chains, making innovative use of existing technologies. We provide farmers an easy to use IT platform that bundles buyers’ requirements and certification schemes and smoothens compliance processes. AgriPlace is being implemented in Holland and will roll out in Latin America next year, targeting smallholder farmers with low computer literacy.
