Scales up to become part of OpenAg Network
nurture.farm, a digital platform for growers, farming communities and food systems, is scaling and expanding its global reach as a part of the OpenAg network. The OpenAg network was conceived by UPL, a leader in sustainable agriculture.
The nurture.farm platform fosters resilient farmers, making agriculture simple, profitable and sustainable for generations to come through technology-led solutions covering every step of the farming life cycle. nurture.farm, which was incubated by UPL, will operate as an open platform in the supply of products, innovation and mechanisation.
Dhruv Sawhney, COO and Business Head, nurture.farm said, “The impact of nurture.farm on farming communities represents significant progress in advancing our mission to reimagine sustainability for agriculture across the world and help farmers secure a brighter future. Our digital platform is helping farming communities that are facing several competing external risks and challenges including variable weather patterns, financial insecurity, and lack of access to information and mechanisation. We are democratising technology, creating a shared infrastructure and uniting farmers and buyers under a global community committed to driving sustainability. We look forward to taking our revolutionary platform to new markets, as we endeavour to change the game for farmers and make food systems more sustainable.”
Through a holistic approach, nurture.farm has developed a comprehensive ecosystem of integrated solutions to increase accessibility, connectivity and resilience, and secure sustainable outcomes.
The key solutions include:
- farm – supports farmers at every step of the farming life cycle by driving precision agriculture at scale through crop health solutions, advisory services, farm-level mechanisation & digitization.
- retail – enables retailers & farmers to purchase authentic and high-quality agricultural input products (crop protection, seeds, farm equipment, feeds, and more).
- trade – connects farmers and buyers through end-to-end traceability of sustainable practices, transparency of information, and convenient access to markets.
- sustain – drives sustainable agriculture globally through regenerative practices and reward farmers for adopting them
As a part of its mission to create sustainable food systems, nurture.farm is encouraging regenerative agriculture practices through its selection of products, services, and projects. It is driving numerous new programmes, including stubble burning avoidance programmes, biological products, carbon credits and reward programmes to advance this mission.
