Partner Announcement - Aurel & Axel

Filedgr partners with Aurel & Axel to bring full transparency to urban farming by tracing agricultural products from farm to fork using digital certificates.

In short

Farm-to-fork traceability means every stage of an agricultural product's journey, from cultivation to the consumer, is documented in a record that can be checked. It covers growing conditions, handling and distribution rather than only the claim on the final packaging.

Filedgr and Aurel & Axel apply digital certificates to urban farming, tracing produce at every stage of production from cultivation through to the consumer. Transparency serves four purposes here: measuring and reducing environmental footprint, supporting decisions that improve yields and reduce chemical use, involving the local community, and deterring food fraud by making product authenticity checkable.

We are pleased to announce our partnership with Aurel & Axel, who specialize in urban farming and sustainable agriculture. Together, we aim to revolutionize the tracking of agricultural products, ensuring transparency from farm to fork.

Their goal is to cultivate nutritious food close to consumers, guaranteeing exceptional taste and nutritional value.

By merging their expertise with our digital certificates, we have established an efficient and transparent system for tracing agricultural produce at every stage of the production process.

Why is transparency important in agriculture?

Environmental responsibility: Monitoring and reducing the environmental footprint of agricultural activities becomes possible.
Data-driven decision making: Transparency is crucial for farmers, agronomists, and researchers to make informed decisions that optimize crop yields, minimize chemical usage, and enhance efficiency.
Community involvement: Transparent farming practices foster community engagement and participation.
Eliminating food fraud: Transparency acts as a deterrent to food fraud, reassures consumers about product authenticity, and ensures product integrity.

Filedgr’s Digital Certificates and Digital Twin Hub play a vital role in facilitating these transparent practices by offering an efficient and reliable system for tracing agricultural products throughout the production process.

This initiative fosters the sharing of knowledge and techniques, helping agricultural experts and policymakers tackle global food security challenges. It empowers farmers to make informed decisions in response to changing environmental conditions.

We at Filedgr are proud to collaborate with the entire team at Aurel & Axel. We look forward to driving lasting, positive change not only in business but in society as a whole.

Frequently asked questions

Who are Aurel & Axel?

Specialists in urban farming and sustainable agriculture. Their stated goal is to grow nutritious food close to where it is consumed, which shortens distribution and is intended to preserve taste and nutritional value compared with produce transported over long distances.

Why does transparency matter in agriculture?

Four reasons are named. Environmental responsibility, since a footprint can only be reduced once it is measured. Data-driven decisions on yields and chemical use. Community involvement in farming practice. And deterring food fraud, by giving consumers a way to confirm product authenticity.

How is the produce actually traced?

Through Filedgr's digital certificates and Digital Twin Hub, which record the product at each stage of production. The result is a traceable history from farm to fork rather than a claim attached only to the packaging at the end of the process.

What broader benefit does this traceability have?

It supports the sharing of knowledge and techniques between agricultural experts and policymakers working on food security, and gives farmers a factual basis for adjusting to changing environmental conditions rather than relying on estimate and precedent.
