Developing Systems to make Agriculture Climate Resilliant
Aegion is developing Cyber-Physical Systems to help ensure that Indian Agriculture Ecosystem can brace for massive disruptions in climate change. We are developing technological interventions alongside our grassroots partners to ensure that one of the most fragile food systems in the world that feeds over a billion people does not collapse.
Why Us?
A Novel Systems Approach
In a field often dominated by technological solutions, we stand apart as our approach is rooted in social science, emphasizing the importance of thinking beyond mere technology. We aim to create systems that leverage technology as a tool rather than a sole dependency.
An Open Source Commitment
We make all our developed technologies open source to ensure sustained efforts, easier collaborations, and widespread proliferation of solutions. While companies may rise and fall, the challenges we address remain constant. Our commitment to open source reflects our belief in collective innovation.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Our joint research team, comprising members from nonprofits and academia, recognizes that tackling some of the world’s most complex problems demands unconventional thinking. By bringing together diverse disciplines, we foster an environment where innovative solutions can emerge, addressing these challenges with a diverse perspective.
Our Approch
Ensuring lasting changes via Policymaking
Agriworks isn’t just about data collection—it’s about transforming agriculture through informed, participatory policymaking. By closing the feedback loop between farmers and policymakers, we ensure that agricultural policies are adaptive, sustainable, and effective.
Our Impact
We are developing systems that support Indian agriculture in adapting to a swiftly evolving climate. Through Agriworks, Aegion is creating tools that link farmers, researchers, and policymakers by utilizing localized data and fostering open collaboration.
Our approach is open source, inclusive, and grounded in the belief that sustainable change must begin at the community level.
We collaborate with grassroots organizations and research institutions to:
-
Equip smallholder farmers with better tools for informed decision-making
-
Bridge the gap between ground realities and national policy frameworks
-
Create a continuous feedback loop to strengthen the resilience of food systems
-
Contribute to the design of climate-adaptive strategies that are region-specific and socially equitable
Interventions
Participatory Data Infrastructure
We build tools to gather, organize, and visualize real-time data from the field. This enables better insights into agricultural practices, market dynamics, and climate vulnerabilities at the grassroots level.
Analytical Tools for Policymaking
We offer customizable data pipelines and models that can support everything from crop simulations to policy analysis-—tailored to local needs, yet scalable at the national level.
Local to National Scale
Our platform connects micro-level observations with macro-level trends. This helps design interventions that are both targeted and scalable, making them more sustainable and impactful.
Agriworks is a digital infrastructure for bottom-up policy development in Indian agriculture.
It brings together local knowledge, real-time data, and evidence-based analytics to ensure agricultural policies reflect ground realities—not just national averages.
