OUR STORY
With little orchard development experience we started exploring avenues for developing orchards with technology, whilst having ecology as the core.
Fast forward to 2021 and here we are, more than 1,000ha non-complex and complex orchard development, precision stake out with high tech equipment, high resolution irrigation maps, soil and water monitoring, micro-climate monitoring and finally bee farming with precision bee placement and activity monitoring.
We have come to realise "to seize the opportunity by considering possibilities and linking complex ideas through systems thinking in simple, understandable ways".
We are proudly South African and as young pioneers we wish to say that we do not have all the answers, but am willing to find them as we work with you.
"A place where ecology, technology and agriculture meet"
Why
Everything we do, we do in order to create a connected environment. We believe in an opportunity for change.
What
We use technology to acquire, monitor and manage aspects associated with agricultural production systems and link this with ecological principles.
How
We seize this opportunity by considering possibilities and linking complex ideas through systems thinking in simple understandable ways.
Orchard design and development
We model complex terrain parameters to assist in linking agricultural production to the underlying ecological processes occurring on your farm. This along with environmental monitoring data, is used in the planning, designing and long term monitoring of orchards.
Environmental monitoring
We make use of scientific grade temperature and humidity sensors for modelling micro-climates on your farm to assist in the planning and design of orchards as well as long term monitoring.
Llwelyn Coertzen
Chief Impact Officer
A dreamer and a visionary, but most importantly, a world leading environmentalist who focuses on returning ecology and sustainability into modern day farming. Basically without Llwelyn, we would just be another ordinary agri-business.Ebbie Swart
High - Tech Anthropologist
Let’s state it this way, Ebbie makes sure we are solving the right problems. From a design and programming background, Ebbie enjoys solving problems with farmers using technology. If you're agri-tech illiterate, talk to him.Lourens Jooste
Chief Dust & Dirt Commander
As an Avocado farmer, Lourens is a nonconformist. Passionate about making new friends, farming, technology and ecology. He enjoys the challenge of taking the 3D orchard designs and translating them into finely designed orchards.
