Feeding the world
with intelligent farming

AIfarmharvest was born from a simple belief: that every farmer on earth, regardless of scale or resources, deserves access to the world's best agricultural intelligence. We're building the AI layer for global food systems.

Join our mission Our story
🌍

Global food security

By 2050, the world needs 70% more food. We're building the tools to make that possible — sustainably.

🧬

Science-first AI

Every model we ship is co-developed with agronomists, climate scientists, and farmers. No black boxes.

🤝

Farmer-owned data

Your farm data belongs to you. Always. We use aggregated, anonymized insights — never individual farm data.

What we stand for

These principles guide every product decision, every model we train, and every partnership we form.

01

Transparency in AI

Our models explain their reasoning. Farmers see why they're getting a recommendation, not just what it is. Explainable AI isn't optional — it's how trust is earned in agriculture.

02

Accessibility first

Cutting-edge AI shouldn't be reserved for large agribusinesses. Our pricing, mobile design, and offline-first approach ensure small-scale farmers can access the same tools.

03

Climate responsibility

Every optimization we make — water savings, reduced fertilizer, precise harvest — directly reduces agriculture's carbon footprint. We measure and report our climate impact publicly.

Our journey

From a research lab
to the world's fields

AIfarmharvest started as a university research project and grew into a global platform.

2019

Research begins at the University of Wageningen

Co-founders Dr. Maya Santos and Elias Kamau publish a landmark paper on machine learning for crop yield prediction, using satellite imagery from 3 continents. It receives 2,400+ citations in two years.

2021

AIfarmharvest incorporated — first pilot farms

Armed with seed funding and a team of 6, we run our first field trial across 12 farms in the Philippines, Brazil, and Kenya. Harvest prediction accuracy reaches 89% — above our target.

2022

Series A — $18M raised to scale globally

With backing from Breakthrough Energy Ventures and AgFunder, we expand to 8 countries and launch our mobile app. The team grows to 40 across 3 continents.

2024

2 million acres milestone — enterprise launch

We cross 2M acres monitored and launch our Enterprise API, bringing AI harvest intelligence to agri-businesses managing thousands of farms at once.

2026 — Today

Next chapter: real-time global harvest intelligence

With over 50,000 farmers on the platform and a 96-person team, we're launching real-time harvest intelligence, autonomous irrigation control, and our open research API for academics worldwide.

The team

Agronomists, engineers,
and farmers — together

Our 96-person team spans agriculture, machine learning, remote sensing, and climate science across 14 countries.
