Our mission →

Weather destroys harvests.
Information prevents it.

Modern weather forecasts can predict rain 48-72 hours in advance. Yet California loses hundreds of millions in crop value every year because farmers lack a tool that translates forecasts into specific, dollar-quantified harvest decisions.

44%
of California strawberries are lost between the farm and the consumer — weather, cold chain failures, and logistics account for the majority.

Our Mission

Commercial agriculture
should fund social impact.

FieldBridge builds profitable technology for California specialty crop farmers and uses that revenue to fund free advisory tools for smallholder farmers in Andhra Pradesh, India who cannot pay. The same technology. Two different worlds. One company. No grant dependency. No donor pressure. Our decision. Forever.

🌾 California farms fund Indian farms 💰 Commercial model funds social mission 🔬 Same technology, zero cost in India ♾️ Sustainable by design, not by donation

Built on public infrastructure.
Proprietary intelligence.

Our core weather data comes from free US government and open-source sources. Our competitive advantage is the crop-specific decision intelligence layered on top — and the farm-reported microclimate data we accumulate over seasons.
