About AgroEco

AgroEco is an agroecological knowledge base built for academic researchers and AI / bot consumers. It extracts atomic claims (pest, pathogen, beneficial, pollinator, mycorrhizal, soil, and crop-trait relationships) from open-access scientific literature, vouches each claim through a multi-critic AI consensus, and exposes only the consensus-verified subset publicly with full source provenance.

How a claim gets here

1. An open-access PDF is chunked and an LLM extracts atomic claims with verbatim quotes and page citations.
2. A first-pass critic (Haiku-tier) classifies each claim as plausible / implausible / uncertain / out-of-scope.
3. Two independent specialty critics (agroecologist + a domain expert: entomologist, plant-pathologist, soil-scientist, or horticulturist) re-evaluate.
4. Only claims with ≥2 plausible verdicts and zero implausible verdicts are promoted to public visibility.

What you should know before citing

These claims have NOT been human-reviewed. The multi-critic consensus is a stricter gate than single-vouch but is still automated. Always read the verbatim quote alongside the original source before citing in your own work.

Project status

Phase 5b (this site) is in v0 (Astro port). The MCP server (Phase 5a) and human-review UI (Phase 4) are upcoming. See the GitHub repository for the full roadmap.
