Every day, 5000 daily truckloads of food from farms to distribution centers are lost in the United States due to a fragmented agriculture and food supply chain. This disconnection from farm to table leads to production and consumption mismatches, food waste, and unnecessary expenditure of financial, human, and natural resources. California-based Agtools provides game-changing intelligence to reunite the global food supply chain.
We hosted Agtools CEO and co-founder Martha Montoya, VP at Chipotle Mexican Grill, to discuss Agtools, an end-to-end supply chain solution tailored to the agricultural and food industries. A Microsoft Machine Learning and AI Award Winner, Agtools is a worldwide SaaS platform gathering real-time government and institutional market data for more than 500 specialty crops commodities to provide up-to-the-moment statistics — like time, cost, supply, demand, alternatives, and more — so that supply chain stakeholders can better manage decisions such as forecasting and purchase orders, seeding, harvesting and delivery schedules.
