Company mission
To help farmers produce high quality food in a financially and environmentally sustainable way through its agricultural automation technology.
Our take
Innovation in farming techniques and agricultural infrastructure is essential for the growth of the farming industry, ensuring supply chains are met whilst maintaining cost-effective and yield-efficient workflows. Whilst such solutions exist, they are often environmentally unfriendly, damaging to local businesses, and subject to great regulatory pressure.
FYTO develops sustainable agricultural automation technology, helping farmers to grow high-quality and high-yield crops that are sustainable and meet growing regulations. The company is also focused on ensuring its products meet shifting consumer preferences for products that are organic, hyperlocal, and free from chemicals and unhealthy ingredients, whilst maintaining crop growth in controlled environments to tackle a changing climate.
Whilst augmented agricultural technology such as hydroponic systems and farming automation is nothing new, FYTO has approached such techniques with the unique perspective of prioritizing both cost efficiency and sustainability. In addition to its automation technology, the company also utilizes livestock manure as input over synthetic chemicals, in addition to customizable monitoring and analytical software.
