AgTech has been a term for quite some time now, and it has only risen in popularity. It may be wonderful and give many useful tools for farmers, but it can also be frightening in the sense that we are constantly assaulted with new technologies, data, and tools that might improve our operations.
As part of our mission, we want to assist you in learning more about these technologies and determining which ones are the greatest match for your operation.
Ultimately, it comes down to leveraging technology that allows us to be more economically robust while also being more ecologically friendly.
What Does Sustainable Mean in Agtech?
Being sustainable means that we are constantly striving to improve within the five principles of soil health, which are as follows:
- Reduce the amount of disruption
- Keep armor on the soil
- Make sure you have a live root at all times.
- Foster diversity
- Integrate livestock into the system
The key to applying these concepts is to adapt the system so that it works for your particular business. Taking little baby steps each year, you may gradually enhance your performance over time, such that every year you are performing better than the year before.
Terra Firma Foods Emerging As an Agtech Company
In order to cultivate food, Terra Firma Foods (TFF) has devised a “back to the future” technique that employs modern controlled-environment technology and processes while still utilizing natural, nutrient-rich soil.
Instead of using hydroponics or aquaponics, we employ terraponics, which is a hybrid growing system that blends the ideas of hydroponics with traditional soil-growing methods to produce our vegetables.
They cultivate food on soil in the manner in which it was intended. Living soil is a medium that breathes, flourishes, and allows them to constantly grow food that has the best color and taste, as well as the highest nutritional content available.
The process of developing their farms around the United States is underway, with an eye on expanding their operations nationally and worldwide.
The organic food industry, according to a Meticulous Research® study, will be valued at $272.18 billion by 2027, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2 percent from 2020 to 2027, even after accounting for the impact of COVID-19.
Whatever the case, it’s obvious that climatic restrictions will drive enormous market forces that will influence all of us as we seek to shift the patterns of energy production and use throughout the whole world.
Formerly pro-exploitation policies are being shifted to facilitate and reward the new carbon logic, which is based on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Branchising for Entrepreneurs by TFF
Entrepreneurs can license a NexGen farm to them through a business franchising or “branchising” arrangement.
This is accomplished by creating a joint venture focused on intellectual licensing and licensing the NexGen farm to the entrepreneur. Branches are company-owned entities that operate within a geographic area.
The elimination of day-to-day administration, staff programs, receivables, and administrative expenditures, among other things, are significant advantages of branching.
Additionally, when existing units are operated by owners who have made a financial commitment, sales have typically increased by 35 percent to 55 percent.
Because some restaurants and grocery stores demand local ownership, the TFF program helps to fill that need. Our goal is to recruit and own in the local community.
