COMPANION AG PROGRAM INFORMATION
“Companion Agriculture” (CompanionAg) is a social-enterprise cooperative model designed by Olistica Life Sciences Group through the frame of the U.N.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Companion-Ag networks farmers together and equips them with the most advanced training and technologies available to support the production of quality medicinal plant supply—supply appropriate for scientific research and compliant with applicable regulatory standards.
Importantly the Companion-Ag model provides participating farmers with not only advanced technology and training, but also facilitates their equity ownership in the host enterprise. This feature sets the Companion-Ag model apart as a driver for sustainable development at the individual and community level within ASEAN’s agricultural sector.
Partners within the Companion-Ag program will cultivate high-quality raw materials through an innovative networked agriculture model with support from all angles to ensure the goal is met. The model aligns to the newer “precision agriculture” movement, leveraging data and technology to support higher yields of more consistent quality, all through sustainable, standardized processes. In-depth data tracking and standardized processes support the development of products which align to regulatory standards and quality expectations for R&D applications.
The Companion-Ag program centralizes all information, support and management of farming and commercial botanical processing operations from its partner companies and their growers. This innovative program provides a platform that allows for participation of as little as a few farms all the way to thousands of farms, networked together in a model of mutual benefits with a multiplier effect.
