ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – TitletownTech announced it has invested in a company that brings growers, plant breeders and data together.
SeedLinked is an ag-tech crowdsourced data platform which cultivates relationships between regional plant growers and seed companies, and ultimately strengthens biodiversity in agro-ecosystems.
“SeedLinked combines accessible smartphone technology with innovative data analytics to create a tool anyone can use to track, share, and learn about regional seed and variety performance,” said Dr. Nicolas Enjalbert, Founder and CEO of SeedLinked. “Our partnership with TitletownTech allows us to accelerate our mission.”
Dr. Enjalbert created the company in 2018. Dr. Enjalbert and his team, in partnership with Seed Savers Exchange, the Organic Seed Alliance, and the University of Wisconsin, completed a successful pilot run in 2019 to test their model.
SeedLinked increases market access for small and independent seed companies, improves efficiency for large companies, and promotes data transparency for farmers and plant breeders alike.
“Anyone can be a part of this. We’ve tested the data quality, and it is more predictive of performance than traditional breeding methods,” said Dr. Enjalbert. “I am inspired by the passion, depth, and engagement exhibited by the people driving this emerging seed movement.”
