ExactFarming
Management of agricultural businesses, supporting timely decision-making and reducing risks
DescriptionOverview of the initiative and its approach.
ExactFarming is a multifunctional online app supporting digital agronomy and the real-time monitoring of fields. The app makes use of different tools and products, that can be accessed also by farmers, agricultural input producers and other stakeholders in the supply chain, such as financial and insurance institutions; and seed, fertilizer and agro-chemical producers and distributors. The app makes use of satellite monitoring to aid in the analysis of field conditions and yield predictions; weather forecasting, helping farmers make informed decisions; and a robust communication infrastructure that promotes the seamless sharing of data and collaboration among farmers, consultants and contractors. The solution addresses the challenges of effective farm management and data-driven decision-making, and optimizes agricultural production through intelligent insights.
TechnologyTechnology used by the initiative.
ExactFarming operates as an online and mobile app, utilizing many advanced technologies aimed at streamlining agricultural practices. For the collection and processing of data, it leverages satellite monitoring and remote sensing for the analysis of field conditions and for the precision prediction of yields. The GIS and GPS technologies facilitate the accurate mapping and tracking of farmlands, whereas AI and big data analytics support intelligent decision-making by processing and interpreting voluminous datasets related to soil and weather conditions. The site offers ready-made solutions, making use of the big data collected through the above technologies, which are transferred to the Cloud-based app to support the delivery of simple and easy-to-use tools for the resolution of particular agronomic tasks, ensuring accessibility and real-time data availability to the users.
TargetUsers, groups, or communities targeted by the initiative.
ExactFarming targets a broad spectrum of users within the agricultural domain, including smallholder farmers, medium-size farms, and large-scale farming enterprises, as well as agricultural input producers and supply chain stakeholders.
Business modelHow the initiative delivers and sustains its value.
ExactFarming offers several user plans, including a free basic plan and those offering more functionalities that are available on subscription. The “Plus” plan costs USD 250 per year, and provides access to all the app functionalities, while the “Fields and Crops” plan is an add-on to the “Plus” plan that costs an additional USD 0.70 per ha per year.
ImpactThe observed or intended effects of the initiative.
The ExactFarming app merges digital technologies and agriculture to create more data-driven processes, providing farmers with the necessary tools for the monitoring, management and optimization of their farming practices. It further offers mechanisms supporting the mitigation of risks and the anticipation of issues based on data-driven insights and forecasts. The app endows its users with various functionalities aimed at supporting agricultural productivity and sustainability by aligning technological interventions with farming activities, thereby creating an environment that emphasizes informed decision-making in support of improved agricultural outcomes.
