Harness Protocol partnership program now accepting applications

Arcadia Research, a leader in developing autonomous systems for inclusive global prosperity, is proud to announce that applications are now open for the Harness Protocol Partnership Program. This initiative marks a significant expansion of the Harness Protocol, following its successful 18-month beta phase in Nigeria's cassava supply chain.

The Harness Protocol, an AI-optimized food distribution network, has demonstrated remarkable success in reducing waste, improving efficiency, and enhancing transparency in agricultural supply chains. Leveraging predictive AI and blockchain technology, the protocol has revolutionized the cassava industry in Nigeria, creating positive impacts for farmers, industrial partners, and consumers alike.

With the launch of the Partnership Program, Arcadia Research aims to extend the benefits of the Harness Protocol to new crops, regions, and stakeholders across the global food supply chain. The program is open to a diverse range of partners, including:

  • Agricultural cooperatives and farmer associations
  • Food processing and manufacturing companies
  • Distributors and logistics providers
  • Government agencies and regulatory bodies
  • NGOs and international development organizations
  • Technology companies and startups in the agri-tech space

Selected partners will have the opportunity to integrate the Harness Protocol into their operations, benefiting from its advanced AI-driven forecasting, blockchain-based traceability, and optimization algorithms. Arcadia Research will provide technical support, training, and customization to ensure seamless implementation and maximum impact.

The Partnership Program will operate on a phased basis, with initial focus on expanding within Sub-Saharan Africa before gradually rolling out to other regions. Arcadia Research is particularly interested in applications that target staple crops, address food security challenges, or propose innovative applications of the Harness Protocol's technology.

Successful applicants will join a growing ecosystem of forward-thinking organizations committed to transforming global food systems. Partners will not only gain access to cutting-edge technology but also contribute to the ongoing development and refinement of the Harness Protocol, shaping its evolution to meet diverse global needs.

Arcadia Research is committed to ensuring that the benefits of the Harness Protocol are equitably distributed. As such, the Partnership Program includes special provisions for smallholder farmers and organizations working in underserved communities.

Applications for the Harness Protocol Partnership Program will be accepted on a rolling basis, with the first evaluation round closing on September 30, 2024. Interested organizations are encouraged to visit the Arcadia Research website for detailed information on eligibility criteria, application procedures, and program benefits.

As Arcadia Research embarks on this exciting new phase of the Harness Protocol, we invite visionary partners to join us in our mission to create a more efficient, transparent, and equitable global food system. Together, we can leverage the power of AI and blockchain to address critical challenges in food security and agricultural sustainability, fostering inclusive prosperity worldwide.
