AgUnity is an Australian-based startup founded in 2016 with the ambition to help change the lives of over 1 billion smallholder farmers in the world. AgUnity provides a mobile and blockchain solution, Axsari, which improves trust and cooperation among smallholder farmers. and It is also used as a platform for a range of problems, including mobile banking for the financially excluded, and data collection for developed world farmers.

Central to the AgUnity solution is equipping farmers with smartphones and Internet of Things technologies, which transfer agency to each individual farmer and empower their collective voice. The app runs on low-cost smartphones and connects to a secure and free blockchain cloud service that can be accessed offline.
