AI advisory systems are growing fast in agriculture, but responsible scale for smallholders needs more than better models.
At the #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026, this session brings ag-AI leaders together to explore AGX AI as a community of practice for shared learning & evidence.

Evaluations often focus on what happened. We focus on why it happened, what it means & how it’s used.
From adaptive MEL systems, context-driven methods to utilization-focused learning, Athena approaches evaluation as a tool for decision-making, not just accountability.
