Digitalization as a key to boost farm sustainability

Yara's crop nutrition advice and recommendations are rooted in a long history of agronomic expertise, complemented by extensive field trial data and the insights of local agronomists from around the globe. By integrating Yara's crop nutrition technology into the xFarm Technologies platform, farmers can easily access this expert knowledge, unlocking unique benefits of crop nutrition management and improving the efficiency and sustainability of the food supply chain.

xFarm Technologies, a leading tech company that supports the work of 300k farmers, offers a unique range of solutions to the food chain. The integration of Yara's expertise with xFarm Technologies' sustainable solutions will reshape how farmers plan and manage their crop systems, enabling them to optimize yields and minimize in-field emissions more effectively.

"Plant nutrition is becoming more complex, especially because of changing climate conditions. Digital solutions, such as the ones provided via our partnership, can make a big difference and enable farmers to improve nutrient use efficiency and reduce losses to the environment." says Marion Martinez, SVP for Business Unit South Europe at Yara International.

xFarm Technologies's CEO, Matteo Vanotti, echoed this sentiment, stating: "We are excited to combine our technological innovation with Yara's deep agricultural knowledge. Together, we will empower farmers with data-driven tools that will change the way they farm, making it more efficient and sustainable. In xFarm Technologies, we are working to develop a digital ecosystem to provide farmers with an all-in-one solution to improve the efficiency of their daily work; integrating an international player like Yara into our xFarm Connect module will certainly help achieve this goal."
