From microbial based fertilizers to advanced bio-fertilizers, Troforte demonstrated a holistic approach to farming that prioritized both productivity and planet-conscious practices. Ankur Omar’s keen interest in Troforte’s sustainability initiatives underscored the shared values and vision for a greener future. The discussions during the visit revolved around the integration of Farmonaut’s cutting-edge technologies, particularly in carbon emission monitoring, into Troforte’s operations. This strategic partnership represents a significant step towards enhancing sustainability efforts and reducing carbon footprint within the agricultural sector. Ankur Omar’s insights and expertise in agricultural technology were invaluable in shaping future strategies and initiatives at Troforte. Troforte and Farmonaut’s Collaborative Vision for Sustainable Farming Troforte Innovations and Farmonaut initiated discussions with Mr. Sunil of Sunpalm Australia in July 2019, leading to a pivotal meeting on November 21, 2019, where plans for a partnership were set into motion. Despite challenges like the Australian Bush Fire and the Covid-19 pandemic, the partnership remained resilient. In November 2021, the deal was finalized, aiming to deliver innovative solutions to the agricultural sector in Australia and New Zealand. The collective goal is to monitor a million hectares of farmland in the region over the next two years, leveraging technology to enhance crop quality and minimize losses. Gratitude is extended to Mr. Sunil for his unwavering belief in the technology’s potential to drive positive change in farming. Troforte Innovations, a subsidiary of Troforte Innovations, has utilized Farmonaut’s services to provide satellite-based crop monitoring in Australia and New Zealand. The partnership aims to map over 1 million hectares by the end of the current year, focusing on monitoring crop health, water stress, evapotranspiration, soil organic carbon, and weather forecasting.
