About SoilBeat

 

Traditional farming methods that heavily rely on synthetic chemicals and monocultures have a negative impact on the environment. They contribute to problems like water pollution, soil degradation, and excessive use of freshwater. The use of chemical pesticides also raises health concerns. Additionally, agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. These facts emphasize the importance of adopting more sustainable farming practices to reduce these harmful effects on the environment and human health.

Regenerative agriculture aims to reduce synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and to rebuild a healthy soil, promote biodiversity, and store carbon. However, implementing these practices on farms requires innovative technology.

​

Introducing SoilBeat - an easy-to-use software solution designed to help farmers transition to regenerative farming. Our goal is to make sense of complex soil, plant health and other relevant data and provide practical recommendations that farmers can use every day. SoilBeat is a SAAS platform developed for Agronomists, to improve their diagnostics and recommendations to farmers, to unburden them and work more efficiently and increase the experience of their customers, the farmers.
