White papers (GenAI) - released in 2025
The following reports are available for free to members of SFTW.
“Software is Feeding the World” brings you two white papers on Generative AI. The white papers were commissioned by Bayer Crop Science, and supported by Digital Green, Kissan AI, and Traive.
In the first white paper, SFTW takes data from four agriculture focused organizations across different cropping systems, and regions of the world to provide a blueprint on how Food and Agriculture enterprises can get value from GenAI based capabilities.
In the second white paper, SFTW looks at value creation while using GenAI in agriculture and and provides a framework for AgriFood organizations around value identification, use cases, value creation and capture.
