Working in collaboration with innovative agrotech startup, Ricult, the FLR349 has developed a new and improved traceability platform which will allow farmers to input more detailed data, increasing transparency and consumer information.

Who are Ricult?
Ricult comes from the middle syllables of the word 'Agriculture'. In keeping with this phonetic tradition, Ricult aims to become integral to the agriculture of tomorrow. Ricult provides a traceability and monitoring digital platform to address the information gaps in the supply chain. Both tree plantations and agricultural products from the restored landscape will be made traceable through the platform. For sustainability of the FLR349 project, these agricultural products will be sold to the retail market, providing sustainable income to the smallholders. Moreover, Ricult also brings advanced remote sensing technology to monitor the impact of the project by tracking forest and crop growth. Additionally, Ricult's technology will assist smallholder farmers with data registration and micro-climate weather forecasting to improve farming productivity and mitigate climate risk.

The new traceability platform is a mobile and web-based application that deploys various state of the art technologies including micro-climate weather forecasting and weather analytics, satellite imaging, remote sensing, and machine learning to help farmers maximise their agricultural potential while also making it easy for them to track their plot's growth. The aim is to encourage more responsible sourcing.

These technologies, in particularly Ricult's hyper local weather analytics, will help farmers figure out the best time to perform different agricultural processes, such as sowing. Moreover the technologies will also allow for rain forecasts and remote crop monitoring through satellite imagery

Before planting a new crop, the farmer simply has to find the crops they are planting from the list and enter basic information like date planted and area size.


Once the data is inputted, on the application, the farmers can easily view an overview of their plots, and detail of the individual crops planted, while also monitor the plots and crop growth via satellite imaging.

We know that some farmers may find navigating the application difficult. This is why WWF Thailand and Ricult are hosting on-site training workshops with the farmers to help them learn to integrate the technologies into their operations. A number, as well as a field officer who makes regular trips to the project sites, will also be available to help the farmers if any questions or concerns arise after the training date.

Creating a system where on the production end farmers are able to easily track their agricultural projects, means consumers are easily able to trace the produce they purchase back to its source, increasing transparency and consumer knowledge.

Consumer information is important to any sustainability work we do because it is vital if any change in the food system is to occur. With more information available, consumers are able to make more informed and better consumption choices.

With the traceability platform, consumers are able to trace their produce back to its source and learn where their food comes from, Consumers can become more confident that the food they are choosing is truly the sustainable option. This will allow them to trust producers more, improving the relationship between the two

Powered by Omise, the platform will also double as a donation platform to increase funding for the project and allow everyday consumers to contribute to the fight towards a more sustainable world.
