The world is facing significant challenges including food security, rising demand and limited resources. Using smart technology and innovation we can deliver solutions that address these market trends.
Our vision is to deliver premier agricultural project management and development services. With smart technology and innovation we can provide solutions to the challenges facing global markets.
Today’s global environment is characterized by several “mega trends” that are evolving simultaneously.
These trends include:
FOOD SECURITY
Food security is one of the world’s most important challenges. The last decade brought a financial crisis and rising food costs throughout the world. These events highlight the need for continued agricultural development. A secure food system requires investment in sustainable, cost effective farming projects.
RISING DEMAND
The demand for food is rising. The world’s population is growing rapidly and is expected to increase by billions people over the next decades. With limited land and water available for food production, resources per capita are actually decreasing. In order to meet future demand for food, more must be done to use the best technology to preserve our limited natural resources.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Technology is playing a greater role in the production of food. Modern farming and greenhouse projects rely on a number of complex technologies. This requires an advanced project management approach and demands in-depth knowledge for every phase of the project.
BIG DATA
Using the latest in engineering and information technology, the modern farmer is able to adapt to the changing environment. Increased sensitivity to the timing and accuracy of inputs contributes to robust growth and consistent crop quality. Remote sensing, data processing and automation are revolutionizing our ability to scale production.
SMART IRRIGATION
Advancements in irrigation technology have led to efficient water management strategies and increased soil productivity. Smart irrigation significantly reduces the required amount of nutrients and fertilizer. Weather-based controllers, rain & temperature sensors, network elements and water meters give growers a new level of control. These systems collect real time data on soil moisture levels, climate conditions, pH levels, temperature, humidity and crop development. The data is then used to assist the grower in estimating the right levels of nutrients and irrigation.
LARGE PROJECTS
Over the last decade, the agricultural sector has undergone an extensive structural transformation. Throughout the world food production is moving away from small-scale family farms towards large, capital intensive, fully mechanized farms.
