Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA), a pioneer in regenerative farming support, has launched FieldLark AI, a free chatbot designed to provide real-time, biology-based insights to growers. This innovative tool is trained on AEA’s 19 years of field-proven data and agronomic expertise, offering tailored advice for regenerative farming practices.
FieldLark AI stands out as the first conversational chatbot specifically designed for regenerative agronomy. Unlike general agtech tools, it focuses on soil health, plant vitality, and systems-based approaches, delivering quick, actionable insights. Growers can access the tool via mobile or desktop browsers, making it a convenient resource for those practicing or exploring regenerative methods.
The chatbot addresses practical farming needs, from input reduction and plant resilience to product timing and sustainable management. It responds to queries about terminology, product use by growth stage, soil biology, and seasonal tips, providing field-ready advice in seconds. This real-time support is invaluable for growers managing diverse crops, including row crops, vegetables, and specialty fruits.
John Kempf, AEA’s founder and chief vision officer, highlights the significance of FieldLark AI in scaling regenerative agriculture. “The single greatest challenge we face in scaling regenerative agriculture is agronomic bandwidth—getting the right information to the right people at the right time,” Kempf said. By leveraging AEA’s collective agronomic knowledge, FieldLark AI enables growers to make smarter, more sustainable decisions that benefit crops, soil, and profitability.
Since its founding in 2006, AEA has supported over 10,000 growers managing more than four million acres through regenerative transitions. The organization helps farmers reduce reliance on synthetic inputs while improving yields and resilience. FieldLark AI is a continuation of AEA’s mission to make regenerative knowledge accessible and actionable.
Eric Girdler, CEO of AEA, emphasizes the tool’s versatility: “Whether you’re growing broadacre grains, leafy greens, or orchard crops, FieldLark provides practical regenerative strategies at your fingertips.” AEA aims for 80% of global agriculture to be regenerative by 2040, and FieldLark AI is poised to play a crucial role in achieving this ambitious goal.
The implications of FieldLark AI are far-reaching. By providing immediate, biology-backed support, the tool can accelerate the adoption of regenerative practices worldwide. It democratizes access to expert agronomic knowledge, empowering growers to make informed decisions that enhance soil health and crop resilience. As regenerative agriculture gains momentum, FieldLark AI could become an indispensable resource for farmers seeking sustainable, profitable solutions.
