Let's make agriculture more sustainable, for everyone
Why sustainability is important in agriculture
The agricultural sector is inextricably linked with sustainability issues:
It is responsible for 22% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions*
It is one of the few sectors that can sequesterCO2 from the atmosphere
It is directly impacted by climate change
It is increasingly regulated in favor of sustainability

What are the solutions to improve sustainability?
There are many solutions and approaches that can be applied:
Optimization: using resources more efficiently
Innovation: choosing more sustainable inputs and machinery
Regenerative agriculture: adopting practices that store carbon in the soil, promoting organic matter
Sustainability for the agribusiness sector
Food industries are involved in agricultural sustainability because:
Consumers are demanding increasingly sustainable products
Emissions may be due to up to 70% from ingredients used in food production (Scope 3)
It is increasingly common to set public goals for carbon neutrality and sustainability (ESG, SDG, SBT...)
What we have done so far
Carbon dioxide avoided
1635
t CO2eq
Equivalent to the CO2 absorbed by 743,35 trees in a whole life cycle
Water saved
5.216.938
m3 H2O
Equivalent to the water used by 57,171 people in one year in Italy

How we help agriculture to be more sustainable
We collect data
Farmers track information about their crops to simplify farm management and create an objective starting point.
We calculate the impact
Farms and supply chains gain an objective view of the impact of individual activities, identifying major sources of emissions and areas for improvement.
Carbon Dioxide -CO2eq
Water -H2Oeq
Acidification - SO2eq
Eutrophication - PO4eq
Biodiversity - BIODIVeq
We give advice
Using our sensors, agronomic models andArtificial Intelligence from xFarm, farmers receive advice to optimize defense, irrigation and fertilization, saving resources.
-20~50%
Water used
-4~16%
Pesticides
-5~12%
Fertilizers
We simulate improvements
We use the data entered to enable companies to simulate the impact it might have to apply Regenerative Agriculture practices, use solutions xFarm and more.
We go out there
In addition to technology, xFarm Technologies is made up of agronomists, engineers and technicians who support supply chains and farmers in their ecological transition:
Digitization: we train all stakeholders, monitor the situation and support farmers
Agronomic project: we develop specific agronomic models and coordinate with technical teams
Sustainability: we support in the drafting of production protocols, reporting and communication with the supply chain
"In Barilla's soft wheat and flour supply chain, we believe that digitization -that is having all data in one place- is key to achieving the goal of having sustainable, quality products."
