Organizations

Ag associations, co-ops, NGOs, and industry groups can use OpenFMIS to better serve their members, guide digital standards, and promote equitable tech access—without starting from scratch.

It’s a toolkit to build trust, enable shared services, and drive forward common goals in a way that fits agriculture’s realities.

Use Cases:

• Farmer unions & commodity groups: Provide members with a ready-to-use system for recordkeeping, benchmarking, or research participation—controlled by the farmer.

• Co-ops: Launch co-branded platforms for agronomy services, grain contracts, or field data aggregation, all without building proprietary infrastructure.

• Industry alliances (e.g. AgGateway): Contribute and test interoperability standards (e.g. ADAPT) within a shared, working system used by real farms and developers.

• Nonprofits & NGOs: Support conservation, food security, or climate programs by offering FMIS tools to underserved producers, bundled with training and local customization.

• Global development groups: Use OpenFMIS as a digital foundation for national or regional ag programs, especially in South America, Africa, or Asia where public infrastructure is limited.

Summary:

OpenFMIS is a shared tool organizations can extend, guide, or deploy to serve their networks. It’s not another app to compete—it’s a platform to align around.
