AgriFORCE's Rebrand to AVAX One: A Blockchain-Driven Agritech Revolution

In September 2025, AgriFORCE Growing Systems made headlines by rebranding to AVAX One, marking a bold pivot from its roots in agricultural technology to becoming the first publicly traded company focused exclusively on the Avalanche (AVAX) blockchain ecosystem. This $550 million capital-raising initiative, supported by over 50 institutional investors including Galaxy Digital, Kraken, and ParaFi, positions AVAX One to accumulate over $700 million in AVAX tokens, leveraging staking rewards and institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure to redefine traditional agriculture and financeAgriFORCE Rebrands to AVAX One, Plans $550M Raise for Avalanche Treasury Strategy, [https://coincentral.com/agriforce-rebrands-to-avax-one-plans-550m-raise-for-avalanche-treasury-strategy/]^[1].

A Strategic Pivot: From Agritech to Blockchain-Driven Finance

AVAX One's transformation reflects a calculated response to the growing convergence of blockchain and agriculture. While the company previously explored agritech innovations such as energy-efficient farming systems, its new strategy centers on Avalanche's blockchain capabilities to address systemic challenges in agriculture. For instance, blockchain's immutable ledger technology can enhance supply chain transparency, enabling real-time tracking of produce from farm to consumer. This aligns with global trends, such as India's Agri10x platform, which uses smart contracts to connect farmers directly with buyers, eliminating exploitative middlemenAgriFORCE Rebrands to AVAX One, Plans $550M Raise for Avalanche Treasury Strategy, [https://coincentral.com/agriforce-rebrands-to-avax-one-plans-550m-raise-for-avalanche-treasury-strategy/]^[1].

Moreover, AVAX One's focus on tokenization opens new avenues for agricultural asset management. By digitizing land titles, crop yields, or even carbon credits on the Avalanche network, the company could democratize access to capital for smallholder farmers. For example, the Lemonade Crypto Climate Coalition's crop insurance initiative in Kenya leverages Avalanche's low-cost infrastructure and Chainlink oracles for weather data, automating payouts to 7,000+ farmers during adverse conditionsAgriFORCE Rebrands to AVAX One, Plans $550M Raise for Avalanche Treasury Strategy, [https://coincentral.com/agriforce-rebrands-to-avax-one-plans-550m-raise-for-avalanche-treasury-strategy/]^[1]. Such applications underscore blockchain's potential to mitigate risks in agriculture while fostering financial inclusion.

Institutional Credibility and Financial Flywheel

The rebranding has attracted high-profile advisors, including Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, who emphasizes that “the tokenization of assets is the single biggest theme for the next decade of finance”.
