Title:

Macrofarm AI: Revolutionizing Agricultural Profitability Through AI-Driven Holistic Optimization

Agreement Number:

1035640

Agreement Value:

$50,000.00

Agreement Date:

Sep 1, 2025 - Sep 30, 2026

Description:

Despite decades of technological progress in agriculture—from autonomous machinery to AI-powered weed detection—decision-making remains siloed and reactive, focused on isolated, micro-level optimizations. This project introduces an innovative whole-farm decision-support platform that integrates agronomic, economic, and operational variables using advanced optimization techniques, predictive modeling, and intuitive natural language interfaces powered by Large Language Models (LLMs). By evaluating trade-offs across fertilizer use, crop selection, equipment timing, and risk exposure, the platform enables scenario-based macro-optimization—shifting growers from reactive to strategic, data-driven farm management for maximum profitability.
