Agrowbase is a for-profit business concept for creating a worldwide database on agriculture. It is a vision for an online space, to serve those who grow crops, rear animals, and feed people.

1. AGB is a vision for linking the agriculture industry in a more profound way online.

2. The problem: Existing online marketing tools do not adequately fit the skills and budgets of small farm operators; nor do they convey the unique context of each farm and the value they contribute to their communities. The agricultural community has encountered a design barrier, which is holding back its potential to leverage its deep knowledge, and connect with its stakeholders online.

3. The solution: The next innovation in agriculture rest in enhancing communication between communities of agriculture: farmers, vendors, government agencies, and consumers. If information between these stakeholder groups were exchanged in a more convenient, interconnected, and straightforward manner online, it could encourage more robust local farming networks, food production opportunities, inspire experimentation, spur product innovations, and help build up a new knowledge economy on agriculture.

4. What it does. AGB is a vision for a multisided web application platform.

(1.) A place where small scale farmers and vendors can Market themselves and their products cheaply, and build up SEO and local credibility online.

(2.) A place where farmers can Learn and impart their deep knowledge and experience about farm operations.

(3.) A platform which can Profile the diversity of the agriculture industry, and target ads and circulate information among its many segments.

(4.) An online space for people to create content, track Trends, find business opportunities, start conversations, and inspire innovations in small scale agriculture.
