Agtools named one of the winners of the Radicle Inclusion Challenge

Nutrien, Saskatoon, Canada, along with partner Radicle Growth, San Diego, California, announced Agtools as a winner of the Radicle Inclusion Challenge Award. 

Agtools is a software as a service-based data platform for commodities to provide volume and insights to a range of customers including buyers and suppliers.

“Winning this competition is the culmination of a long road of trying to explain the complexity of the world markets impacting any local farmer and how they have to manage their farm beyond the obvious,” says AgTools CEO Martha Montoya. “Focusing on increasing yield and lowering costs is only a percentage of farming good practices. Knowing the global variables impacting their commodity is crucial for their longevity. Truly rewarding.”

The radicle inclusion challenge awards a $250,000 investment and access to high-level industry expertise for the winners. 

“At Nutrien, we believe addressing historical inequities in agriculture is essential to advancing social justice efforts and creating a long-lasting impact on the industry” says Candace Laing, Nutrien’s senior vice president and chief human resources officer. “To help support systems-level change, we can leverage the opportunity we have in our investments and agtech partnerships to strengthen business, social, environmental, and investment outcomes.”
