Verdi

"94.5% of farms can't afford automation as it exists today." This stark reality is sobering - most irrigation automation systems are extremely complex and expensive. That's why Verdi clinched the 2024 WINnovation Award - we've made affordable irrigation automation available to farms of every size. By making automation both affordable and user-friendly, Verdi is revolutionizing how vineyards manage their most precious resource.  Why Verdi's Innovation Matters: • Install in 1-2 days without specialists • No buried wires or complex infrastructure • Real-time monitoring and alerts • Remote control of valves and pumps • Instant leak detection • Automated scheduling based on soil data From 4 hours of manual irrigation work to just 15 minutes - that's the real-world impact.

Sustainable, efficient farming practices are no longer optional... The McKinsey Global Farmer Insights 2024 report highlights an undeniable truth: sustainable, efficient farming practices are no longer optional—they're essential for survival and profitability. Farmers around the globe rank rising input costs and extreme weather as their top challenges, yet many have yet to adopt technologies that could mitigate these risks. As costs rise and climates shift, farmers are seeking smarter ways to boost yields while conserving resources. So how can farmers tackle these challenges? --> Adopt precision irrigation technologies. These systems ensure every drop of water and ounce of fertilizer goes exactly where it's needed, slashing waste and boosting yield. --> Leverage variable-rate applications. Tailoring inputs like water and nutrients based on specific field zones can significantly reduce costs while improving output quality. --> Invest in connected sensors and data-driven tools. These provide real-time insights on soil, weather, and crop health—key to making informed, effective decisions. Sounds like something we could help with.

Accessible #IrrigationAutomation Solution Recognized with #WINnovation Award - The benefits of automated #irrigation are well known, yet many farmers continue to irrigate manually because most existing automation systems focus on valve control, so farmers are still sending workers out to check for leaks and breaks. Verdi automates five critical jobs so farmers can execute them quickly and seamlessly. https://lnkd.in/gR_GFK55 #WineIndustry, #Viticulture

We're being given an award today - but the real prize is the benefits for growers... We've been on a mission for years to bring irrigation automation tools to agriculture.
