année 2047: ma startup agricole biologique et non interventionniste facture désormais 5x market-price pour bœuf élevé dans des enclos « comme le faisaient nos ancêtres »
Peter Thiel’s bets are just too unique.
A few months ago, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led a $220 million investment in Halter at a $2 billion valuation.
Halter is a New Zealand startup that has essentially made physical fences unnecessary for cattle farming.
It puts solar-powered, GPS-enabled collars on cows, allowing farmers to create invisible fences, move entire herds from their phones, and monitor animal health in real time.
As a cow nears a boundary, speakers on one side of the collar emit a tone that grows faster as she gets closer, telling her which way to turn. A gentle vibration confirms when she is moving in the right direction. Only if she ignores both does the collar deliver a mild electric pulse, weaker than a standard electric fence.
After about a week of training, cows respond to sound alone.
In effect, Halter has turned one of the oldest forms of physical labour into something that can be managed through software.
What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽
