About Taylor & Francis:
Knowledge empowers people to think, do, and be more. We empower learners, thinkers, and doers with trusted knowledge that advances research and enriches lives. We bring together diverse people, ideas, and opinions to publish the experts, theories, and truths that matter. And we have been doing this since 1798.
More recently we have been partnering with some of the world leading pharmaceutical organizations, biotech companies, legal outfits, and FMCG companies to take how they use AI to the next level. By applying the content, we publish to their AI tools we can enable greater productivity, speed to product releases, regulatory compliance and more. We are now looking to bring these same benefits to the Agri-food industry.
About YAGRO:
YAGRO is a data and software company focused on turning fragmented agrifood and supply chain data into reliable, usable intelligence.
YAGRO connects, organises and interprets information across farms, fields and wider supply chain networks, helping users move from disconnected systems and manual workflows to clearer, faster decision-making. For farmers, it creates a digital twin of the farm business. A connected, structured model that brings together financial, operational and agronomic data in one place. This allows farms to look back with clarity, understand true performance, and plan with confidence, using data to budget, model scenarios and interrogate every part of the business.
Beyond the farm gate, YAGRO connects the wider agricultural supply chain through permissioned, validated data sharing. It gives producers, buyers and processors access to trusted, structured insights that have historically been inaccessible or unreliable. By enabling secure, permissioned access to this information, YAGRO is helping to build a more transparent, connected and efficient supply chain, where better data underpins supply chain intelligence.
