We really enjoyed hosting members of @SyngentaUK at our Crop Research Centre. The group contained UK farmers growing everything from broccoli and sprouts to beans and parsnips, and we were delighted to be able to show how our technology can be used alongside existing methods.

How has technology changed the way we grow food 🤔?

Over the last few decades, we’ve seen sizeable changes in agritech which have revolutionised how we farm. This can be seen in four areas ➡️

[Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) @IGSfarm]

We need to pivot our food systems in order to meet demand and reduce global hunger (all while bringing down emissions). We’ve designed our tech to optimise everything from energy usage to resource input, standing poised to feed an ever-growing global population.

Whether experimenting with water sensors, or altering levels of far-red lighting, we pride ourselves on a contemporary approach to research.

Our plant scientists work closely with software and hardware teams to ensure this info gives customers the best possible platform to grow.

[Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) @IGSfarm]

Extreme weather. Rising operational costs. Pests and disease. Labour shortages.

These are issues growers across the world are having to face. We don’t have all the answers, but we do have the technology to help mitigate risk and facilitate consistent, year-round crop production.

[Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) @IGSfarm]

Why automate?

⚙️ Reduce human interaction with crops and protect them against disease, freeing up time for other tasks.

Why integrate?

👩‍🌾 Adopt a hybrid-approach to growing, giving plants the best start to life indoors before they finish the growth process outside.

[Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) @IGSfarm]

We’ve engineered our tech to maximise efficiency as well as speeding up growth cycles by up to 50%.

Leave failed crop cycles and hampered harvests behind – embrace a hybrid approach to agriculture with our vertical farming solutions 🌱.

[Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) @IGSfarm]

Wave goodbye to wasted resources and unpredictable yield and say hello to climate-secure, consistent crops. Whether you’re looking to alter taste through lighting, or adopt a hybrid operation, get ready to experience a different style of farming: https://t.co/2J2jUbBSVP

[Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS) @IGSfarm]

We've beaten the drum on the huge scope AI, ML and automation offers to vertical farming for some time now. As well as helping to streamline and address labour shortages, these technologies can allow growers to really hone in on the perfect crop 🌱.

A hybrid approach to growing lettuce utilises the best of traditional agriculture and vertical farming. We believe our technology can complement both open field and glasshouse production, allowing year-round growing and consistent, healthy produce.
