Empowering Synthetic-free Farming Practices

Our AI-powered platform leverages sophisticated mapping of plant interactions with pollinators, pests, and neighboring plants. This process, called Integrated Trophic Design, provides precise recommendations for both the immediate and long-term transition to healthier fields.

TANIT for Farmers

Our field-to-fork platform helps connect farmers regenerating their soil and environment with buyers around the world. The platform consists of 4 stages:

1. AI-powered ecosystem design using ITD
2. Clean-seed and yield-booster support
3. Harvest and planting support via our growing network of volunteers
4. Cornucopia Marketplace

1. Ecosystem Design

We enter your designated field’s geographical coordinates and the of crop you are considering growing. Our AI tool then predicts the crop’s growth potential and recommends compatible plants to include as part of the ecosystem. From here, we design planting guides that include long-term steps towards regeneration. This helps farmers break their costly dependence on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides by showing them how to plant cash crops with cover crops, companion crops, and trap crops for optimal soil-nourishing yield.

2. Seed & Yield Support

In the second step of their transition, farmers can use our platform to access our YIELD BOOSTER NETWORK of irrigation, organic seed and bio-input partners (such as biochar and microalgae). This includes access to our multilingual network of TANIT Technicians schooled in various aspects of regenerative agriculture, as well as innovative mechanical planting solutions. Our aim at this point is to reduce the risk associated with transitioning away from chemical inputs by providing access to a strong support network.

3. Harvest Support

In the third step, farmers can access our network of volunteers to assist with the synthetic-free crops harvest. We are currently in the process of building this network up and welcome outreach from partnering NGOs. Planting and harvest festivals are also a key event that our network of buyers can sponsor.

4. Marketplace

In the final stage, our global network of buyers can pre-order synthetic-free produce in advance through our Cornucopia marketplace, allowing farmers to plant and sell native crop types with confidence. This opens up a brand new market for all exotic crop varieties that grow best in native conditions. The produce comes with CSRD data collected by our TANIT Techs from farmers, providing complete value chain transparency, up- and downstream visibility, regenerative tracking data, and carbon/water footprint details for new EU reporting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can we start?

1. First, contact us via email at (info@tanit.solutions) or use the contact form. In your message, please provide basic information such as your country, the type of crops you currently and plan to grow, and whether you are currently aligned with ecological and regenerative farming practices. It does not matter if you are practicing monoculture or polyculture.

2. Once we receive your message, we will schedule a virtual meeting with our team. In this first 30-minute meeting, we will listen to your current challenges, suggest first possible steps, and answer any questions you may have about costs and risks.

3. If you decide to proceed after the meeting, we will set up a second call to determine which plants might work based on your location and the estimated costs related to seeds based on planting area and, if you wish, drip irrigation systems and other bio-inputs. If you’d like to commence the intercropping process, we will send you a contract to sign and allocate a local TANIT Tech to perform a soil sample and biodiversity assessment of your field. This will give us a baseline of soil health and influence the kind of crop combinations.

4. The soil sample results will help confirm if the suggested crop arrangement has a good chance of growth, or if a year of cover crops or other coverage strategies are more suitable. This will often be the case for fields previously used for monoculture.

5. You begin the planting and if applicable, irrigation process in the arrangement we suggest. We also aim to assist smallholders via our network of Impact Volunteers where possible.

6. A TANIT Technician will return to take a second assessment between 3 and 6 months later, depending on your baseline. This is to ensure the best chance of growth.

7. If you are transitioning from monoculture, the process may take three years or more before you are able to sell synthetic-free produce. But we can help polycultural farmers start to bring their next harvest produce to our network of buyers immediately.

What are the risks?

We are not familiar with all beneficial organisms and pests in every region. This knowledge needs to be gathered over time. That’s why we utilize AI to provide close approximations and recommendations initially. The AI is based on decades of data collated by people who have observed how certain plants work in certain combinations. Our AI joins the ‘missing dots’, determining hidden combinations we cannot see. Because this process calculate multiple variables at once, we suggest starting small (1000 square meters) to first confirm and then expand where yield increases. This is also why we work with you as a guide from day one until the third year when yields are expected, assessing initial and improving conditions twice a year. Because ultimately your success is our success.

What are the initial costs associated with transitioning to regenerative farming?

The first 20 farmers who start working with us on 0.1 ha plots will benefit from free access to the TANIT Platform and guidance. You will however be required to buy the suggested seeds, bio-inputs and drip irrigation if desired. Again, to keep risk and costs low, we recommend a small plot of 1000 sq meters initially. Throughout the entire process, from planning and soil preparation to harvesting and selling your products, you will be guided by the TANIT team.

How do we help?

Our service includes an initial consulting phase where we identify suitable crops for your field, agricultural techniques to phase out chemical use, and optimize resources, among other aspects. During this phase, soil samples will be needed so that we can assess the initial characteristics of your farm with the assistance of soil laboratories.

Subsequently, we will connect you with suppliers from our network to provide chemical-free seeds, and any other inputs you may require. If you need labor during the cultivation and harvesting stages, we can try to provide assistance via our growing network of Impact Volunteers. Lastly, you will gain access to our network of buyers for regeneratively grown products, allowing you to sell your crops at fair prices through our Cornucopia marketplace even before your crops are ready for harvest.

What training or resources are available to help me learn regenerative farming techniques?

You will be able to join regular virtual meetings with our team of experts to support your transition to regenerative agriculture. Additionally, you will be invited to webinars discussing topics such as efficient irrigation, native crops, bioinputs, key soil characteristics, and more. Our program is starting in 2025. The first 20 farmers who join the platform will receive at least two annual in-person visits from specialists in soil science and biodiversity.

What are the regenerative pest and weed control methods I can implement?

We offer solutions to potential pest and weed issues through innovative, environmentally-friendly understanding of how ecosystems work. This includes using specific trap- and companion crops intermixed with your main cash crop to attract and subsequently eliminate pests.

What are the requirements for TANIT certification?

By joining TANIT, you begin the transition to growing chemical-free crops. Requirements may vary by country, but we will guide you through the process. See our TANIT Accreditation page for more details about what we assess.

Can I connect with other regenerative farmers for advice and support?

Absolutely. Our goal is to build a community of farmers committed to sustainable agricultural practices. This includes developing a clean-seed buyer and seller network. You will have the opportunity to connect with other producers, growers and buyers who are working with us. We will also feature selected farms on our social media.

What is the turnaround time?

We expect that after 3 years, sometimes sooner if you are already growing organically, you will be maximizing production without relying on costly and environmentally harmful pesticides and fertilizers. For those transitioning from monocultural this may take longer. However, organic farmers can begin selling into the TANIT system with 6 months in some cases. The benefits to the biodiversity to local ecosystems are also measured and tracked, allowing you and your buyers to see how your efforts are supporting the environment going forward.

How will the transition to regenerative farming impact the local ecosystem?

Implementing regenerative agricultural techniques is highly beneficial for the environment, as it optimizes natural resources like soil and water without compromising productivity. By working together, we can positively impact ecosystems by improving soil quality, reducing water consumption, enhancing ecosystem biodiversity, and potentially increasing CO2 capture via better soils.

How will I differentiate my produce on the market?

Your products will stand out in the market because they are produced without chemicals in collaboration with a global network of farmers, suppliers, and buyers committed to regenerative agricultural practices. We support this via our own TANIT accreditation process that is focussed on tracking and sharing biodiversity improvements for bulk buyers required to report on CSRD factors in their supply chain. We are also active at international trade shows and fairs.

What if there are trace elements of pesticide in my soil from my neighbour’s spraying?

A low ppb amount of pesticide is expected, particularly in farms which have previously used it heavily. One purpose for collecting soil samples is to track the reduction of synthetics in your soil and provide feedback on how your soil health is progressing. The local native-speaking TANIT Tech will guide you here. We can add your produce to our Cornucopia market once the concentration limits for these contaminants are below the recommended amounts provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the European Environment Agency (EEA).

Can I join your platform just to sell my products?

Yes, you can join our platform solely to sell your products if you have already transitioned to regenerative farming. Joining our marketplace, Cornucopia, offers you the opportunity to connect with national and international buyers who seek chemical-free products cultivated through regenerative agricultural practices that are designed to work in harmony with nature. Before listing your products, TANIT ensures that your farm meets our standards of regenerative agricultural practices, verifying that no chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used. This not only increases buyer confidence in your products but also allows you to benefit from the growing demand for regenerative food.
