Invest in Hawaiʻi's Agricultural Future
Join us in building the infrastructure that will transform soil health and food security across the islands
Why Invest in Makaliʻi Metrics?
Critical Market Need
Hawaiʻi's farmers and land stewards currently face significant delays and costs when sending soil samples to mainland laboratories. Our lab will address a critical gap in Hawaiʻi's agricultural sector by providing a culturally-aligned, locally accessible resource for soil health analysis, thus reducing dependence on continental laboratories and promoting data-driven agricultural resilience across the islands.
Unique Value Proposition
We are building Hawaiʻi's only comprehensive, locally-focused soil laboratory with a unique approach combining ancestral Hawaiian agricultural practices with modern scientific methodologies. Advanced machine learning algorithms process complex soil data to deliver actionable insights for optimal crop management and soil health restoration, while user-friendly tools enable farmers and communities to track, analyze, and improve their soil health metrics in real-time.
Social & Environmental Impact
Supporting Hawaiʻi's journey toward food independence through innovative technology solutions and community-centered approaches to agricultural sustainability. Empowering local farmers with comprehensive, real-time soil health insights that enable data-driven agricultural decisions and optimize crop yields. Preserving and applying traditional agricultural wisdom by integrating ancestral Hawaiian farming practices with modern scientific methods to create resilient food systems.
