When we talk about efficiency in agriculture, the conversation is often narrowly focused on yield and profit. While optimizing production and ensuring farmers earn a fair wage will always be priorities for us, we think it's time to expand this conversation.
Efficiency is important from a social and environmental lens, too. For example, understanding how we use water allows us to use less of it. Currently, agriculture accounts for 70% of global freshwater withdrawals, and at the same time, droughts are becoming more frequent and severe around the world. Conserving such a critical resource at the farm level can have an enormous impact on the surrounding community.
With Farm from a Box's data monitoring system, you can understand how your farm uses resources like water, fertilizer, and energy - not only helping you boost your yields, but reduce waste, lower your footprint, and protect nearby ecosystems.
Our data system also provides WiFi connectivity, turning your farm into a hotspot that can support your day-to-day admin work, educational programming, vocational training, and community engagement opportunities.
