With growing concern over the scarcity of water here in NZ and around the world we have created an autonomous and environmentally responsive irrigation controller, known as RIM, to help you optimise your resources and yields - so you can continue to feed the world #mynzstory
We love the opportunity to get back out on farm, especially when the views are this good! Standing under the sprinkler to get this snap was a great way to confirm that everything was working, thank goodness for waterproof clothing...
Our RIM installations are underway, allowing for individual control of any solenoid valve. Now you can tailor your irrigation to suit your every need #irrigation#agri#ai#agritech

At Next Farm we help farmers apply the exact amount of water, in the exact place, at exactly the right time - reducing water wastage for generations to come
Without water we can't produce our food yet, increasing competition for resources and #climatechange are threatening the planet's water resources.
We can't take the #water we have for granted. It's not unlimited.

It takes 70 litres of water to produce one apple. ๐ฆ๐
When you waste food you also waste the resources that went into producing it! #FoodWaste#ZeroHunger
