THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS ENVIRONMENTALLY

The above video highlights the minimal soil disturbances principle, comparing our proposed field (green) to the traditionally farmed fields surrounding it

ROUTE TO CARBON NET ZERO​

Lower carbon emissions with less usage of fertiliser and fuel ​

REDUCES POLLUTION IN WATERWAYS​

Lower fertiliser and spray run off into soil​

REDUCES SEDIMENT IN WATERWAYS​

Soil's structure will be stronger due to minimal disturbances​

REDUCES FLOODING ​

Soil will have a higher capacity to hold water​

INCREASES BIODIVERSITY ​

Reduction in pesticides, increase in plant diversity and less soil disturbance

THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS FOR FARMERS

REDUCTION OF SPRAYS​

A diverse canopy should prevent one pest dominating​

REDUCTION OF FERTILISERS​

The green cover allows previously unavailable minerals to become available and Periodic topping will allow nutrients to return to the crop​

ACCESSIBLE COST​ 

We’ve designed the rover with accessibility in mind. Currently we foresee it to be marketed in the region of 20k. 

REDUCES SOIL DEGRADATION​

Minimal soil disturbance, fertiliser and spray usage. Returning nutrients to the soil and a constant green canopy​

INCREASED FLEXIBILITY​

Less time spraying and fertilising, and a wider range of conditions to work in

GUARANTEED BASE INCOME​

An income from SFI, carbon credits and nutrient trading independent from the yield​​

WIDER FIELD OPERATION WINDOW​

A permanent green cover means little to no soil disturbance, creating a terrain that is more stable for machinery to work on​

EXTREME WEATHER EVENT RESILIENCE​

More stable ground conditions and a lighter machine means operation isn’t as dependent on weather conditions ​

LIKELY GREATER PROFIT PER FIELD OF CROP​

Reduced costs, competitive yield and the available financial incentives for sustainable farming ​

HIGH VALUE CROP​

Farming method fits into regenerative and organic farming produce market

THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS FOR THE PUBLIC

CHEMICAL-FREE AND NUTRITIOUS PRODUCTS ​

Crop is grown with less chemicals and in a more diverse culture​

COMPETITIVE AT WORLD PRICES ​

Could open a market to consumers for an affordable yet healthy produce option​

CLEANER DRINKING WATER​

Less contaminant run off from farming ​

POTENTIALLY IMPROVES THE FISH ECOSYSTEM ​

Less contaminates in rivers and ocean that could harm fish and other organisms ​

REDUCES THE RISK OF FLOODING​

soil can hold more water
