Global challenges facing agriculture
- Farmers struggle with low profitability and have limited access to independent agri-business expertise.
- Land farming accounts for 15% of Global GHG emissions, while soil health is in decline.
INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF FARMING
Today’s mainstream farming practices are not sustainable – Earth’s population continues to grow, which puts pressure on food systems.
That means more demand and less supply – farmers should be happy and rich, unfortunately, this isn’t true!
Most farmers in the European Union rely on subsidies to make ends meet. In additional, at current the rate, there are only 40-60 harvests left in the EU and North-America due to serious soil degeneration. (source)

Bringing world-class agronomical knowledge to every farmer
Fortunately, there are a small number of farmers who earn good profits in a sustainable way, and who also convert CO2 into the soil. But achieving this requires deep expertise in both agronomy and agribusiness. World-class farm managers are very expensive, often costing up to $150K a year. eAgronom uses technology to make that same expertise available at 1/10th of the cost.

Our yields are definitely higher this year, we got double the wheat, 4 tons of oats and rape is the most beautiful I have seen – 1.4 tons/ha. It’s all the little details that Simon suggested. He also suggested wasting less money on pointless fertilizers.
