eAgronom launches series of trials with partner farms across Europe
Tallinn-based farm management software provider eAgronom announced a series of on-the-ground trials with local farmers across Europe.
Trials will begin in Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, and Spain. The company aims to expand the programme into Latvia, Czechia, and Romania later 2024.
The company aims to helping farmers generate additional revenue streams, improve soil quality, and access better financing through environmentally sound farming practices.
The trials will test measures concerning machinery, cover cropping, plant protection products, and various fertilisers. The company said this is the first extended trial of its kind in Estonia dedicated to the potential environmental benefits of farm-based and soil-focused regenerative tactics.
The company said these trials aim to streamline the implementation process of such practices in a way that is not only convenient for farmers but actively beneficial to their farms’ efficiency and bottom lines.
Robin Saluoks, co-founder and CEO of eAgronom, said: “Our field trials and demo farms enable us to test innovative regenerative farming practices and prove these practices to farmers. We’re learning right alongside our partner farmers, and their feedback and experiences will have a direct impact on how we help all our farmers make the best decisions for them in economic and environmental terms. Sustainability measures won’t work theoretically. They need to have practical benefits, and implementation has to work seamlessly. We’ll strengthen both aspects through these trials.”
In 2022, eAgronom raised US$7.4 million to tackle emissions with farming-based carbon credits, taking its total raised to US$12 million.
