🌿 Beleaf it or not

There’s a lot of manual work involved in farming (checking the weather, making sure your plants are watered/fertilized, and tracking your farm plots). And that’s tough!

That’s why BeLeaf is helping select partner farms with their farming-as-a-service product.

• They use Big Data and IoT equipment to improve productivity and reduce farming costs.
• How? By monitoring seeding, nutrition dosing, farm planning and harvesting, and other factors. 
• This gives farmers the insights they need to control, automate, and manage their farms.
• Oh, and they connect farms to distributors and retailers too!

Better farming. The data will be used to power their machine learning and help their R&D efforts.
