AEA Unveils FieldLark AI, the First AI Chatbot for Regenerative Agronomy

Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA), a leader in regenerative agriculture, has launched FieldLark AI, the world’s first AI chatbot tailored for regenerative agronomy. FieldLark is designed to provide real-time, data-informed crop guidance to farmers and agricultural professionals, and it is available free of charge to anyone interested in regenerative growing. Accessible via a browser on mobile devices or computers, the tool delivers AEA’s extensive in-field experience and scientific insights to users wherever they are. Unlike other agtech tools that focus on conventional farming systems or general farm management, FieldLark is regenerative-first. It is trained on 19 years of AEA’s field-proven data and is based on the principles of biology, soil health, and plant vitality. The chatbot is built specifically for growers who are either exploring or practicing regenerative agriculture, offering quick and practical answers to their most pressing questions. FieldLark provides biologically sound recommendations that help farmers work with nature rather than against it. It supports practices such as optimizing plant health, enhancing crop resilience, and reducing dependency on synthetic inputs. Users can ask questions about plant and soil health, biological farming terminology, timing for regenerative practices, seasonal tips, product usage by crop and growth stage, and other fundamental aspects of regenerative agriculture. “FieldLark AI is a technology I’m passionate about offering growers because I believe it will help us achieve our vision of having 80% of global agriculture be regenerative by 2040,” said John Kempf, AEA’s founder and chief vision officer. “The single greatest challenge we face in meeting this goal is agronomic bandwidth—getting the right information to the right people at the right time.” “Our AI chatbot draws upon AEA’s deep foundation of agronomic expertise, in-field experience, and data,” Kempf added. “Our collective knowledge has helped thousands of farmers transition to regenerative practices and make smarter decisions that improve soil and plant health, create crop resiliency, and increase profitability.” Since 2006, AEA has collaborated with more than 10,000 growers across over four million acres, assisting them in implementing regenerative growing systems in difficult conditions. The goal has been to reduce or eliminate the use of chemical inputs while boosting yields and profits. “Whether you're a grower focused on broadacre crops, vegetables, or specialty fruits, FieldLark can support your efforts with proven regenerative growing ideas and strategies,” said Eric Girdler, CEO of AEA. “For nearly 20 years, AEA has been at the forefront of the regenerative agriculture movement. We're proud to introduce FieldLark AI as a continuation of our vision and leadership in this space.” AEA is committed to restoring the joy of farming and helping farmers succeed by offering tools and solutions that enhance crop productivity, resilience, and profitability. The company’s approach is rooted in a whole-systems philosophy that aims to improve soil and plant health, reduce or eliminate the need for chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and deliver immediate economic benefits to farmers. AEA’s services include expert agronomic guidance and consultation, based on decades of field data and on-farm experience. The company also offers advanced plant nutrition technology, analysis, and a range of National Organic Program (NOP)-compliant biological products, including micronutrients and macronutrients, as well as crop-management plans.
