Transforming Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems with Unmio

Transforming Agriculture and Community Engagement with Unmio

Our customers are transforming sustainable agriculture and food systems by addressing the needs of two key markets: social benefit organizations that service farmworkers, including healthcare networks, education providers, and community-serving nonprofit organizations, and agricultural cooperatives that have come together behind common goals such as advocacy, knowledge transfer, and environmental stewardship.

The Backbone of Our Food Systems

Agriculture is the backbone of our food systems, and both of these markets are indispensable to its success. With shifting demographics, rapid technological advancements, and unpredictable market conditions, ensuring a stable and reliable workforce has never been more urgent. Farmworkers are not just contributors—they are the lifeblood of agricultural operations, and their reliability is critical to meeting the demands of a growing population.

At the same time, agricultural cooperatives are uniquely positioned to lead agriculture into the future. By uniting behind shared goals like advocacy, innovation, and environmental stewardship, cooperatives are driving resilience and transformation during these uncertain times. They don't just react to change—they proactively shape the future, ensuring the long-term sustainability and prosperity of the agricultural sector.

Addressing Inefficiencies and Costs

We address the inefficiencies and costs these organizations grapple with when onboarding community members and delivering services digitally for social benefit organizations and their communities. These challenges create frustration, erode trust, and leave both organizational workers and community members feeling disconnected from each other.

For the frontline workers engaging directly with community members, these challenges appear as repetitive intake processes, duplicated records, and uncertainty about the identity of the individuals they are assisting. Organizationally, these inefficiencies result in unreliable reporting data, heightened fraud risks, and obstacles to growth and reaching broader audiences. The most critical consequence is the risk of turning someone in need away.

Innovative Solutions with Unmio

Although technical solutions are available, they are prohibitively expensive and dependent on traditional anchors like email and phone numbers that community members are dissatisfied with because these providers are invasive—selling data, surveilling, or otherwise compromising privacy.

Unmio tackles these issues with digital identity wallets integrated into a familiar CRM platform. These privacy-first apps can verify identities via biometrics, store and share documents, enable communication between parties, and host digital services. With consent-driven workflows, they can be used to securely share details and reuse previously validated information easily, saving time for both parties. They avoid reliance on emails, passwords, or phone numbers. Open-source protocols ensure interoperability, improving efficiency, restoring trust, and strengthening community connections.

Building Trust and Transparency

By streamlining processes and prioritizing privacy, Unmio not only enhances operational efficiency but also rebuilds the trust and transparency necessary for meaningful engagement. This innovative approach strengthens relationships between organizations and the communities they serve, fostering long-term resilience and impact.
