EU: Klim Launches ‘Digital Companion’ to Take Guesswork Out of Regenerative Agriculture for UK Farmers
Klim, a technology company providing the operating system for regenerative agriculture, has launched its ‘digital companion’ tool to take the guesswork out of regenerative agriculture practices for UK farmers and F&B businesses. The tool will boost farmer engagement, and reduce the risks of weak data and lack of on-the-ground progress for F&B companies cost effectively and across global supply chains.
Support for regenerative agriculture is rising with major F&B companies, such as Nestle, Danone and PepsiCo, driving these practices in their supply chains. But farmers have lacked a digital solution that can effectively support them across different regenerative agriculture practices, and help them mitigate the risks of short-term yield loss and financial uncertainty. Existing tools for farmers have focused on siloed areas, and have required huge duplications of data input, leaving farmers without a comprehensive view of their farm or predicted incentive payouts.
“Most services currently available to farmers are fragmented, focusing only on narrow phases like fertilizer optimization,” says Rob Gerlach, Co-Founder and CEO of Klim. “This wastes so much of a farmer’s time, and makes the process of transitioning to regenerative farming unnecessarily complex, difficult and expensive.”
Klim’s digital companion provides personalized, field-level recommendations that guide farmers through choosing practices, and tracking their impact – and you only need to input farm data once a year. The platform combines goal-setting, tailored guidance, and feedback in one place, making regenerative adoption both practical and engaging.
“A strong example of this is our Crop Mix Composer tool,” continues Rob. “By inputting their goals and farm details, farmers get instant access to tailored crop mix plans specific to their fields, including advice on the best seed mix for cover crops and how to achieve optimal nutritional values. This eliminates the need for a ‘trial and error’ approach, giving farmers clarity and confidence in their plan.”
The digital companion is already supporting the growth of regenerative agriculture practices in Germany and Poland, with 50% of farmers who use Klim’s platform adopting the tool since its initial launch.
F&B companies have also lacked a platform that gathers and consolidates reliable regenerative agriculture data from across their global supply chains, and accurately and cost-effectively measures the impact of these practices on-the-ground against company goals. For these companies, engagement at the farmer level is critical to drive impact, as is robust reporting at the other end of the process.
“Bridging the knowledge and engagement gap between field data and corporate goals is essential for the success of regenerative agriculture,” continues Rob. “Farmers are at the center of this transition and need tools that work for them. At the same time, food and beverage companies need farmers to be engaged so they can make the biggest impact across their supply chains, and be able to report on this progress at a high but accurate level. This is what the digital companion tool and Klim platform has been built to do,” Rob concludes.
To continue to improve its digital tools, Klim is building an AI-powered digital agent that will give farmers personalized, real-time support on regenerative agriculture questions, set to be released in the first quarter of 2026.
