One product.
Six layers of evidence.

LivingShield is not a sensor dashboard. It is a decision-support system that makes the condition, source, confidence and required human check visible before a recommendation is acted on.

LivingShield product structureEvery recommendation retains its evidence chain

01 - Field capture

Each management zone can combine a multi-depth soil moisture and temperature probe, an optional local weather station, relevant pest traps and structured scout observations. Soil laboratory analysis remains the source of truth for nutrient and organic-matter assessment; in-field probes provide continuous context, not laboratory replacement.

02 - Secure ingestion and quality control

Every reading is stored with its device, depth, timestamp, zone and signal-quality status. The platform flags missing data, impossible values, a flatline that may indicate a stuck sensor, and abrupt changes that need an installation or irrigation check.

03 - Zone intelligence

Current product logic is explainable: calibrated thresholds, rate-of-change checks, weather context and a comparison with that zone's normal pattern. Anomaly detection can be introduced once a farm has enough clean history. Predictive machine learning comes later, after labelled local outcomes exist and have been independently tested.

04 - Human workflow and evidence

An alert becomes a field task: inspect a defined zone, add a photo or note, choose the least-harmful action with the appropriate adviser, and record the follow-up. The Crop Passport exports the evidence trail. It does not certify the farm or approve an input.

Pre-pilot information centre

Review the evidence pathway before you commit.

LivingShield is seeking a narrow first pilot, built with growers, advisers, hardware partners and research collaborators. The product must earn trust through use, accuracy and clear farm value.

There is no live pilot outcome or public funding offer on this site.

Available now

Pilot information, not a data-collection form.

The public contact channel is not configured yet. Until it is, this site intentionally does not collect personal, farm or investment information.

A monitored inbox, privacy process and legal pilot documents are required before outreach.
