Company mission

Enabling growers to farm with pinpoint accuracy and accelerating the transition to sustainable agriculture that must feed the world

Our take

Smart, data-driven farming means that farmers can turn their sights to improving costings and transforming operations, allowing for greater flexibility. Farm21 taps into the growing popularity of data-informed agricultural operations to achieve best practices in sustainable agriculture.

Operating globally, Farm21 uses sensors to measure environmental data that transfers onto a central platform to enable farmers to make the best data-driven decisions. Analysis from the platform facilitates this, providing guidance on the data to allow farmers to take ownership of decision making. Through this, Farm21 maximises the sector's advantages of optimising yields and business efficiency.

A recent release of new field sensors shows the company's continual developments into new tech options. Investment in Farm21 also allows the company to further develop its data platform to optimise connectivity with existing management and decision-making systems to create a more extensive platform.
