What is Farmbot?

Farmbot is a fast-scaling Australian Agritech company that is leading the evolution of a new phase of technology development in agriculture. www.farmbot.com.au.

Combined with its strong go to market strategy, commitment to customer service and unique intellectual property, Farmbot is helping Farmers think differently about how they manage their water ecosystems and related infrastructure and is enhancing productivity, profitability and sustainability in many Australian, and now American, agri-businesses.

Its monitors work anywhere in the world by utilising leading satellite networks or can connect to local cellular networks if available.
