Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA), a regenerative agriculture pioneer, has launched FieldLark AI, what they say is the world’s first AI chatbot for regenerative agronomy.

FieldLark is conversationally intelligent and grounded in the scientific principles that make regenerative systems work, notes the company. Free to anyone interested in regenerative growing, FieldLark “delivers AEA’s decades of in-field experience and biological insights” to growers via a browser on mobile devices or computers – anytime, anywhere.

FieldLark is trained on 19 years of AEA’s field-proven data and rooted in biology, soil health and plant vitality. It’s designed for growers who are exploring or practicing regenerative agriculture and want quick answers to practical questions.

“Whether you’re a grower focused on broadacre crops, vegetables or specialty fruit, FieldLark can support your efforts with proven regenerative growing ideas and strategies,” said Eric Girdler, CEO for AEA.

The company says FieldLark offers “practical, biologically sound recommendations to farm with nature.” This includes optimizing plant health, improving crop resilience, and reducing reliance on synthetic inputs. Growers can turn to FieldLark for questions about plant and soil health, biological farming terminology, timing for common regenerative practices, seasonal tips, product usage by crop and growth stage, and other basic regenerative growing support.

“FieldLark AI is a technology I’m passionate about offering growers as I believe it will help achieve our vision that 80 percent of global agriculture will be regenerative by 2040,” said John Kempf, AEA’s founder and chief vision officer. “The single greatest challenge we face in meeting this goal is agronomic bandwidth: getting the right information to the right people at the right time.”

Since 2006, AEA has partnered with over 10,000 growers across more than four million acres, helping them implement regenerative growing systems in challenging environments – with the goal of decreasing or eliminating inputs while increasing yields and profits.
