Modern farms collect and analyze vast amounts of data using remote sensors, IoT devices, drones, and satellites. While these technologies improve efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and decision-making, this development raises the question of who owns the data.

Increasing awareness of complex global agricultural supply chains starts with connecting producers and consumers, who often have limited knowledge about a product's origin. Building traceable supply chains rewards critical first-mile producers and provides transparency for conscious consumers.

ECOSHIFT is committed to helping smallholder cocoa farmers in Thailand improve efficiency by boosting yields, increasing incomes, and reducing poverty levels. Smallholder farms are family enterprises, and ECOSHIFT coaching will create opportunities for spouses and youth who can benefit from improved farming systems that produce diversified crops. Our strategy to improve yields and incomes for smallholder farmers is based on a hands-on approach.
