The 7 Habits of a Highly Successful Planet

Preparation

Warnings from excellent forecast systems help communities prepare for climate challenges like droughts, floods, and intense heat.

Inputs

Easy and affordable access to quality inputs such as hybrid seeds, biochar fertilizer, microbial partners, irrigation systems, and mechanization to implement effective farming practices.

Protection

Farmers must protect crops from pests and weeds using Integrated Pest Management (IPM) solutions and Integrated Weed Management (IWM).

The 7 Habits of a Highly Successful Planet

Advice

We use Agentic AI to provide timely, hyper-local agronomic advice using decision support tools and short-term weather predictions to maximize crop yields.

Storage

We deliver effective storage solutions to minimize food loss and waste and avoid toxins, thus maximizing economic returns and human health.

Markets

We improve market access and price predictions using AI, support collective bargaining, and enhance transport systems to help farmers sell their produce effectively.

Mitigation

Step 7 recognizes that more productive farms is more waste biomass that can be converted to durable carbon storage (biochar via pyrolysis) to enabling farmers to access carbon markets.

Core approach: More food -> More waste biomass -> More biochar

If Steps 1-6 happen you will have happy farmers making profits.
This allows for Step 7 which is leveraging the power of millions and ultimately hundreds of millions of interconnected farms acting as Earth’s largest carbon capture machine.

Dogmas of the Quiet Past PV+

PlantVillage+ is the next step in the evolution of PlantVillage that in turn evolved from the US Land Grants. Signed into law by Abraham Lincoln in 1862 the Land Grants have pioneered a system of applied research universities that have shaped the world. Lincoln's famous Dogmas of the Quiet Past speech speaks of the "stormy present" and how "we must think anew, and act anew".

We believe the world needs and wants a worker focused, science based company that puts the commons and collective benefits before the interests of the few. A company that leverages Agentic AI to bring a Land Grant level of expertise to every phone in every field across Africa, Asia, South/Central America and even USA beginning with Pennsylvania, our home state.
