Transforming Global Food Production One Algorithm at a Time
We’ve just published a new white paper titled, “Transforming Global Food Production One Algorithm at a Time,” featuring a recent interview with our CEO Kenny Avery. In the white paper, Kenny shares his vision for the potential globalization of Advanced Agrilytics’ unique spatial analytical platform, TerraFraming, and how that could revolutionize food production around the world. Following is the Executive Summary from that white paper. Click the button below to download it!
Global hunger is rising, with more than 282 million people facing acute food insecurity in 2023 alone. As the world population moves toward 10 billion by 2050, agriculture must meet growing food demands using fewer resources and less arable land. Advanced Agrilytics, under the leadership of CEO Kenny Avery, believes the company’s patented spatial analysis technology could help transform global food production.
Our new whitepaper introduces Advanced Agrilytics’ transformative solution: a sub-acre level data analysis platform known as TerraFraming™, which examines fields as a collection of microenvironments rather than uniform plots. By layering key agronomic data — including soil composition, cation exchange capacity (CEC) levels, water flow, and nutrient distribution — Advanced Agrilytics delivers custom agronomic prescriptions tailored to each environment within a field. Our methodology improves yield consistency, input efficiency, and most importantly, builds crop resiliency—enabling more consistent yield results in the face of weather extremes or pest and plant disease pressure.
Key Results of Advanced Agrilytics’ Methodology:
- Our precision recommendations lead to, on average, a >27% yield increase per acre in corn production and a >15% reduction in nitrogen use per bushel of corn compared to state averages.
- We deliver consistent gains – $46/A in gains by year four and $61/A in gains by year 10 for soybean growers.
- For corn growers, our methodology has proven to achieve $72/A in gains by year four and $100/A by year 10.
This transformative, prescription-based production methodology is built on more than a decade of field data, more than 25 patents, and continuous investment in research and agronomic innovation. The result is a scalable model that not only boosts farmer profitability in the U.S. but also holds promise for addressing global food production by enabling higher yields from limited land in resource-constrained regions.
Taking a Global Approach
Kenny sees global scalability of Advanced Agrilytics’ patented analytical technology as the next frontier. Through licensing and managed services models, and his vision of developing of a cloud-based agronomic portal, the company aims to deliver its technology to growers worldwide — from Iowa to Indonesia.
“If we can help a grower in Africa raise yields by 20 bushels per acre, that’s life-changing for the grower and their community,” says Avery.
By combining our proven agronomic intelligence technology with global datasets, Advanced Agrilytics can deliver hyper-localized recommendations — bringing global data to the individual acre, anywhere in the world.
Conclusion
Advanced Agrilytics’ new whitepaper underscores a powerful message: technology can solve hunger — not in theory, but in practice. By delivering sustainable, data-driven solutions to growers worldwide, the company is taking measurable steps toward global food security — one algorithm at a time.
