Top 10 Digital Agriculture Companies
Top 10 Companies in Digital Agriculture
AgriTech, or agricultural technology, refers to the use of technology in agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture to enhance yield, efficiency, and profitability. The application of technology in farming and other food production processes ultimately helps increase crop yield, improve farm productivity, maintain plant and animal health, and provide opportunities for more sustainable methods, such as waste reduction. From startups to globally renowned organizations, Technology Magazine highlights some of the most innovative companies committed to improving agricultural technology processes and products.
World of Farming
With the goal of empowering farmers to produce fodder faster and at lower costs, with less waste, reduced water consumption, lower carbon emissions, and the elimination of pesticides, World of Farming (WoF) forage technology offers sustainable and energy-efficient technological solutions to address food security challenges and mitigate negative environmental impacts. This is achieved through the use of LED lighting, controllers, and vertical racks, reducing water consumption by up to 85%, requiring over 90% less land, and enabling an 80% increase in yield.
Indigo Ag
