nesteye

Monitor the farm. Understand the food system.

A software-defined intelligence layer for agriculture, built from continuous visual, environmental, and operational data.

Agricultural fields viewed from above

Every camera can become a sensor.

Agriculture is a physical system with recurring visual patterns. nesteye captures those patterns over time, interprets them locally, and gives people a structured record of what changed, where, and when.

The hardware stays. The model library grows.

In poultry, the same overhead cameras and edge frame support fecal risk flags, disease monitoring, piling, weight, and environmental context. New capabilities are model deployments, not a new barn installation. Read about the Salmonella model.

The industry is being asked to remember more.

Prevention, testing, traceability, and recall response all depend on records that connect events across time. nesteye begins upstream, where the food is raised and the signal first appears.

Prevention already requires structured operating records

FDA's Shell Egg Rule covers prevention plans, biosecurity, pest control, cleaning, refrigeration, environmental and egg testing, recordkeeping, and registration.

Traceability is becoming a data-coordination problem

FDA's Food Traceability List includes shell eggs, leafy greens, finfish, and other foods. Covered records are organized around critical tracking events and key data elements; FDA says it will not enforce the rule before July 20, 2028.

FDA oversees shell eggs and produce rules discussed here. USDA-FSIS oversees raw poultry products. The proposed 2024 USDA-FSIS Salmonella framework for raw poultry was withdrawn in April 2025 and is not presented as an active new mandate.

Scale the proof before scaling the promise.

  • Prove the wedge

    Deploy the completed poultry system with growers and validate measurable performance under real barn conditions.

  • Reach 15-20 barns

    Build a multi-site operating dataset, standardize installation, and prove that models hold across layouts, flocks, and teams.

  • Land an integrator

    One vertically integrated poultry company can coordinate chicks, feed, veterinary support, processing, and many contract growers, turning one relationship into multi-farm distribution.

  • Expand the model library

    Carry the software-defined monitoring pattern into more animals and crops while each deployment strengthens the agriculture data layer.

Safe food for everyone. Easier lives for the people who produce it.
