We create an inclusive collaborative ecosystem to meaningfully engage the next generation of agriculturalists.
The technology industry is constantly shifting and evolving, requiring a baseline understanding of often very complex systems. Getting to the core knowledge required to be effective with technology is important to the time and attention of growers.
Growers need one neutral spot to be able to ask their questions and find unbiased and real time answers. Grand Farm brings together a network of growers, technologists, corporations, startups, educators, policymakers, and investors to form a global ecosystem to work together to solve problems in agriculture with applied technology.
To better understand the grower perspective on technology needs and adoption, Grand Farm produces the Grower Pain Point Report. This report identifies the challenges of a grower that are to be shared with the global AgTech ecosystem.
