Summary
Agtonomy is an Operator of a hybrid autonomy and tele-assist service platform intended to address the massive labor crisis gripping local farm and land maintenance operations. The company partners with established equipment manufacturers to transform tractors and agriculture machines into autonomous and remote-controlled equipment that is accessible to local farmers, enabling data-driven services that empower local farmers to make continuous improvements while working against tight budgets and seasonal challenges.
Problem
Building a sustainable future for local agriculture. The world is at a critical juncture. Healthy diets are out of reach for three billion people. By 2050, we will need to produce 60% more food to feed a world population of 9.3 billion. Severe skilled labor shortages are driving up costs. Technology innovation is critically necessary to do more with less.
The skilled labor crisis and the growing impact of climate change compound the challenges for farmers, and more broadly, land maintenance operations. Local agriculture, as opposed to big agriculture, has been especially hit hard yet accounts for the vast majority of the good food movement which consumers demand today. Even though the number of local farmers outpaces those involved in big agriculture, few technology companies have addressed their challenges.
Solution
The Agtonomy platform lowers the cost of repetitive tasks such as mowing, spraying, and precision weeding. Our solution provides expansive capabilities and higher levels of safety over conventional tractors. Our technology is specifically designed for agriculture and land maintenance. It is safe, reliable, powerful, and intuitive.
The Agtonomy platform also enables data-driven services that empower local farmers to make continuous improvements while working against tight budgets and seasonal challenges.
