Agbotic awarded “greenhouse production system of the year”

Agbotic announced its 2022 AgTech Breakthrough award for “Greenhouse Production System of the Year.” The 2022 AgTech Breakthrough Award is conducted by AgTech Breakthrough.

Agbotic builds SmartFarms with a big data and deep learning model to grow year-round, local, and organic crops with the industry’s lowest production costs. The company’s patented and patent-pending automation and AI capability integrate with traditional farms and renewable energy SmartGrids with a tech stack that extends to outdoor farming.

Because Agbotic grows in soil, it can easily switch crop types to grow leafy greens, culinary and medicinal herbs, root crops, and long-cycle woody stem crops. Agbotic has grown ginger, figs, and inputs for plant-based beverages and personal care products. Across these crop types, Agbotic uses precision machines to gather high-resolution, hyper-variate data for machine learning to achieve consistent gains in crop yields and lower production costs. In the past 24 months, Agbotic has generated yield gains from 50-100% across multiple organic, chemical-free crops, and the production costs for a number of its crops are now competitive with outdoor, conventional/chemical farming.

“We are honored to win this amazing AgTech Breakthrough award during a time when news cycles are dominated by climate, inflation, food security, and food prices. Our proprietary tech enables the production of local, secure, low-cost food while drawing down carbon and cleaning the air, water and soil,” said John Gaus, CEO of Agbotic. “Much of agriculture can and should be profitably distributed into community-scale production systems to reinvigorate rural economies, make lower cost and healthier food, draw down carbon, and clean the environment. Our decarbonized, denitrified, and digitized approach does just that. One day soon, every community will want a SmartFarm.”
