5am.earthThe challenge
Farmer and field evidence is repeatedly collected, difficult to reuse, and often disconnected from financial and market services.
Case studies
Trust, tested in the field.
How field evidence, Earth observation, and secure provenance become practical infrastructure for agricultural services.
India / initial deployment
Satellite Oracle for smallholder agriculture.
A collaboration designed around the Syngenta Foundation Agri-Entrepreneur program and its existing farmer relationships.
2.4M+farmers in the established network
21K+trained Agri-Entrepreneurs
100Kfarmers in the planned initial deployment
The system
Agri-Entrepreneurs capture field information. Satellite data validates boundaries and land signals. Cardano infrastructure records verifiable provenance.
The first use cases
Blockchain-verified land border records and historical sustainability ratings create reusable evidence for services and decisions.
The intended value
Lower risk for financial partners, better service delivery, and new pathways to finance, insurance, markets, and advisory support.
Verified once. Reused across the next service, decision, and opportunity.
