Farmers Edge partners with Google Cloud
Farmers Edge has entered into a long-term strategic agreement with Google Cloud to market agtech services and bolster the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive analytics in its platform. The two companies will launch a global co-sell initiative delivering the next generation of high-tech tools to farmers and agribusiness.
The Farmers Edge digital platform – FarmCommand – will receive a series of enhancements to enable near real-time carbon and sustainability tracking, simplified insurance reporting and claims management, and other advanced tools for retailers and financial providers.
“Limitless opportunities”
