CLOUDFARMING STRIVES TO CHANGE THE WAY HORTICULTURAL FARMS ARE MANAGED AND OPERATED BY BEING AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN END-TO-END FARMING SOLUTIONS
THE CLOUDFARMING STORY
CloudFarming has grown from extensive experience in the horticulture industry, including farm ownership and management, study of best-practice farming throughout the world, a passion for innovation and continuous improvement, and a drive to lead and revolutionise the agriculture industry.
CloudFarming takes research from vegetable farmers in a range of developed, developing and third world economies, and integrates this knowledge with technology to produce innovative and sustainable farming solutions.
CloudFarming is actively working on building integrated hardware/software solutions to assist with picking and management of a wide range of horticultural crops. Labour management is critical for all farms, regardless of the crop or the country, and is a central focus for all CloudFarming solutions.
All CloudFarming products have been developed on working farms and closely refined with industry to ensure optimal outcomes.
