A self-initiated project to demonstrate low-cost, high-impact ESG systems using free tools, AI agents, and financial modeling logic for small-to-mid-size agritech firms.
AgriTrace is a proof-of-concept ESG and ops system built for the agritech sector using free tools — designed to track real sustainability metrics, automate reporting, and support decision-making through AI-enhanced workflows. It bridges the gap between ESG frameworks (GRI, IFRS S2) and the operational realities of smallholder networks, remote data collection, and lean teams.
Build a replicable and intelligent ESG performance tracking system that enables agritech businesses to:
