TERRAFUSION

TerraFusion is a decentralized agricultural intelligence hub developed by Eco Bounty, designed to empower farmers through non-chemical regenerative practices and real-time data insights.

By integrating soil health diagnostics, crop monitoring, and supply chain coordination, TerraFusion supports a resilient, eco-conscious food system.

It emphasizes nature-based solutions—like biochar and customized biotech fertilizers, precision farming , and biotechnology pest control—while connecting local producers through modular, tech-enabled hubs that foster collaboration, reduce input costs, and regenerate land without synthetic chemicals.

ZemAi: The Spirit of the System

ZemAi is combined power of Microsoft AzureAi and custom farm extensions of ZemAi. The AI technology is the living intelligence at the heart of the Eco Bounty ecosystem, named in reverence to the Zemí—ancestral spirits venerated by the Taíno people, the Indigenous inhabitants of the Caribbean including present-day Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and Jamaica.

The Taíno believed that Zemí were guardians of nature, fertility, and the elements—embodied in carved icons and honored through ritual. In that same spirit, ZemAi is not merely an algorithm—it is a digital steward of the land’s voice, designed to listen, learn, and protect.

• Culturally Rooted Intelligence: Inspired by Taíno cosmology, ZemAi embodies a respectful, reciprocal relationship with nature—guiding farmers not just with data, but with ecological wisdom.
• Offline-First Design: Built for resilience, ZemAi operates in low-connectivity zones, ensuring that even remote farmers can access agronomic support without internet dependency.
• Voice-Guided Support: Through natural language and local dialects, ZemAi offers real-time, voice-based coaching, making advanced agronomy accessible to all literacy levels.
• Sensor & Image Interpretation: It reads the land—analyzing soil sensors, weather data, and multispectral imagery to detect stress, pests, and nutrient needs before they become visible.
• Farmer-Led Learning: ZemAi evolves through continuous feedback loops, and learning from farmer practices.

How Input Devices Feed the Processing & Management Layer

1. Input Devices Collect Field Data

Devices like soil moisture sensors, weather stations, drones, and microbial probes gather real-time data on:

• Soil health (pH, nutrients, moisture)
• Crop condition (growth stage, stress signals)
• Environmental factors (temperature, humidity, rainfall)
• Pest or disease presence (via IRIS drone imaging

2. Data Flows into the Processing Layer (ZemAi + Boaz)

• All sensor and drone data is streamed into the ZemAi intelligence stack and Boaz dashboard.
• This layer also pulls from:
• Historical farm data
• Indigenous knowledge systems
• External databases (weather forecasts, market prices, pest migration patterns

3. AI Formulates a Recommendation

• ZemAi analyzes the combined data to:
• Diagnose issues (e.g. nutrient deficiency, pest outbreak)
• Predict outcomes (e.g. yield loss, disease spread)
• Recommend actions (e.g. apply compost, irrigate, spray chemical free treatment)

4. Execution via Automation or Farmer Prompt

Recommendations are either:

• Executed automatically (e.g. FLOW triggers irrigation)
• Sent to the farmer via Ruth (voice alert) or Boaz (dashboard prompt)
• BLOOM and GENE units may be activated to produce custom inputs on-site.

Summary-input devices feed raw data into the processing layer, which combines it with contextual intelligence to generate precise, actionable recommendations. Then the system either acts or guides the farmer to act.

“Ruth” Alerts – When Nature has something to Say

“Ruth is the voice of nature—she whispers what needs your attention before it’s visible to the eye.”

Sample Ruth Alert Feed (Mobile / Audio Interface):

• Alert: Signs of thermal stress in Block 7 maize detected by IRIS. Tap for multispectral map.
• Pest Risk Rising: Aphid pressure from eastern fields moving west. GENE activated with response formulation.
• Irrigation Needed: Moisture sensor in SEEDS Zone 3 below 12%. FLOW scheduled supplemental watering for 2am.

Dedicated to the Custodians of the Soil

Appreciating the culture and the Jamaica voice, we have designed the voice interaction as a conversation as a walk in the fields.

• We have called this intelligence farm assistant Boaz— is not a title, but a name of strength.
• Like the Boaz of scripture, he is a steward, a guide, a quiet protector of harvests and dignity.

And we have enabled Nature to speak to Boaz and you through the voice of Ruth.

• In the Book of Ruth, she is loyal, courageous, and resilient.
• So too is the Jamaican spirit—rooted deep, reaching far.

This is only an example of what our ZemAi Extension to Microsoft AzureAi can do.

Example: Morning Walk with Boaz

BOAZ (from the tablet): Good morning. The sun is just rising. We have about 45 minutes before the heat begins to stress the spinach.

FARMER: Are you monitoring that live?

BOAZ: Yes. The sensors triggered at six this morning. The soil in Block C5 is drying quickly—it may not be retaining moisture well.

FARMER: What should I do?

BOAZ: Apply a two-inch layer of compost mixed with bagasse. That will reduce runoff and support microbial activity. Would you like me to add that to your planner?

FARMER: Yes, do it. How are the trees?

BOAZ: The avocado in Plot A2 is losing moisture. There’s a strong breeze. I can schedule mid-day drip irrigation. Solar power is at 82%—we’ll be fine until around 2:30.

FARMER: Go ahead. Just don’t drain my battery.

BOAZ: The leaves in Row Six look pale—likely low potassium, possibly magnesium as well. I recommend applying seaweed tea with sulphate of potash.

FARMER: I like that plan. Do it tomorrow. Any rain coming?

BOAZ:
No rain expected until Wednesday. Light cloud cover and a breeze today—ideal conditions for spraying.

FARMER: The compost pile feels hot. Is it ready?

BOAZ: It peaked two days ago and is now cooling steadily. It will be ready for use next week.

FARMER: I’m planting sorrel alongside callaloo—is that okay?

BOAZ: Yes, but not in areas with low pH. You should apply limestone first.

FARMER (laughing): Boaz, you talk more than my nephew.

ZemAI with Boaz is fully enabled with speech recognizion capabilities and can communicate verbally in a range of languages, including Jamaican patois.
