Farmable

Farmable is on a mission to reinvent how fruit farmers gather, organize and use their data, helping them improve yield while taking care of the environment.

Co-founded in 2018 by Norway’s largest fruit farm and a digital venture fund, the team builds user-friendly mobile solutions for horticulture with a specific focus on fruit tree crops.

Farmable enables field operators, farm managers and agronomists to efficiently track, monitor and record operations through mobile phones while generating a database of farm records to simplify reporting to authorities and marketing organizations.

You can download the app for free.

Take a look at Farmable’s newly launched blog here: https://www.farmable.tech/blog and join their UK Fruit Growers Community on Whatsapp! The group is for growers to connect and share knowledge, and is open to any grower.

How can Agtech help Agronomists? In conversation with Rebecca Dumbrell, Agronomist from TGT Tolga, Australia

The challenge for many growing teams is that the dataset isn’t nicely aggregated in one shareable format but more often split across a collection of notebooks, spreadsheets and aging databases. Add to that any human error which may have occurred when transcribing data from a notebook to the computer or misread hand-writing. Even in today’s cloud connected world, the average farm struggles to capture and maintain a quality dataset for agronomists like Dumbrell to use in her daily work. "In the last few years, growers are required to keep more and more records in order to operate their businesses. I’ve seen this go from scribblings on a piece of paper shoved in a folder, to excel spreadsheets and now to programs where that data is entered via an app straight from their phones in real time."
