Even farming is going digital: food tech company xFarm Technologies SA offers farmers and food businesses a software solution that helps increase the efficiency of their agricultural production and reduce their carbon footprint. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Context<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

Digitalisation is revolutionising the services and industrial sectors \u2013 and it\u2019s slowly but surely transforming agriculture too. In many countries, software providers are marketing their solutions to farmers who want to modernise their businesses. One Swiss provider is the Lugano-based xFarm Technologies<\/a>, which was launched in 2017 by Matteo Vanotti, Martino Poretti and Salvatore Ferullo. Its mission: to digitise farming. Today, their software is used by over 400,000 businesses throughout Europe that between them manage six million hectares of land. <\/p>\n\n

Technology<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

The xFarm app was initially designed to help farmers manage administrative tasks such as reporting and stockkeeping. Later on, other functions were added too. Today, for instance, it can be used to irrigate fields as and when needed based on weather forecasts. Or it can log the activities of tractors and other machinery over the course of a day and record crop yields. The app can also be used by food businesses: the Italian Barilla Group, for instance, implemented an xFarm solution involving 2,000 farmers so that it could measure the carbon footprint of its biscuit production. <\/p>\n\n

Maturity<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n

xFarm Technologies raised 20 million euros across two funding rounds, which it used to expand from its original primary market, Italy, to the rest of Europe. The young company now has offices in Italy, Spain, France, Poland and Germany, and is currently trying to break into the Brazilian, Indian and Turkish markets. xFarm generates revenue from licence fees that farmers, food companies and machinery manufacturers pay to use its software. With a resolute growth strategy, it wants to establish itself as a global provider of digital solutions for the agricultural sector. <\/p>\n\n

\u2018We see ourselves as an all-in-one platform that encompasses not just farmers but the whole food production chain<\/em><\/strong>.\u2019 Matteo Vanotti<\/a>, CEO of xFarm Technologies SA <\/p>\n\n
