US-based ag-tech firm Agbotic has launched a regenerative agriculture initiative in Europe, with the establishment of Agbotic Limited, in Dublin, Ireland.
Agbotic Limited, which will be significantly owned by Irish partners, has been formed to conduct business across Europe.
The company will construct commercial greenhouses on regenerative farms in Europe. It will also carry out new research for technology deployments in Europe.
According to Agbotic, the regenerative agriculture cleans air, water, and soil and can also reverse climate changes.
It is implemented by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity that will result in carbon drawdown and improvement in the water cycle as well as making better food.
Agbotic co-founder and CEO John Gaus said: “The regenerative agriculture movement is accelerating with recent announcements from leaders such as Walmart and General Mills.
“Agbotic has created a winning techno-economic approach and proven its technology at scale. The movement is on the rise in Europe and North America, and we expect it will be around the world.”
Agbotic deploys machine learning, and AI for SmartFarms
Headquartered in Sackets Harbor, New York, Agbotic deploys proprietary automation, machine learning, and AI to allow its SmartFarms to make quality organic products.
According to the company, there are major advantages to embedding organic, soil-based greenhouses on distributed SmartFarms for regenerative agriculture.
The benefits include food security and diversity, a year-round supply of local, organic, fresh, and nutrient-packed food.
Agbotic Limited board member Richard Kennedy said: “The world is clearly moving to carbon neutral and carbon negative farming. Consumers are demanding healthy nutritious food produced in authentic, transparent, sustainable supply chains.
“I believe Agbotic with their groundbreaking technology and future pipeline of technology will be a key enabler to delivering this and is aligned to my belief of One Health from Soil to Society – I am excited to join their board as part of this timely and really exciting initiative.”
In November last year, Agbotic and Black & Veatch have entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) for the deployment of ecologically restorative smart farms.
