  • Meteotrack Agro provides farmers with tools to better plan and manage their crops, allowing them to make better use of resources and increase yields while protecting biodiversity and the environment.
     
  • Meteotrack Agro is expanding its reach to other regions, which allows it to solve agricultural problems on a wider scale and help farmers around the world, especially in developing countries.
     
  • Meteotrack Agro is a socially responsible company that prioritizes sustainability and zero-emissions.
     
  • Meteotrack Agro offers farmers access to cutting-edge technologies that allow them to adapt more effectively to changing climate and market conditions, which is crucial for the future of agriculture and sustainable development.
     
  • Meteotrack Agro works with farmers to help them identify and solve farming-related problems so they can more effectively adapt to market needs and meet consumer expectations.
     

Introduction - what UN Sustainable Development Goals is Meteotrack Agro pursuing?
 

We are proud to support farmers around the world in agricultural production using modern artificial intelligence solutions. Our goal is to help farmers make better decisions about their operations while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Meteotrack Agro is a decision-support platform for small and medium-sized agribusinesses that combines meteorological, agro-meteorological and satellite data with AI analytics to help farmers achieve better yields and increase the profitability of their operations.
 

How exactly?

  • Meteotrack is aimed at any farmer, including those who do not use digital tools on a daily basis.
     
  • Meteotrack's interface was developed in cooperation with farmers and agricultural advisors and aims to convey the most relevant information in a simple way.
     
  • Meteotrack shows weather windows whose calculation methodology was developed with input from scientists and agricultural experts, making the use of fertilizers and sprays more efficient, helping to increase crop yields.
     
  • Meteotrack recommends agronomic measures taking into account the tenets of sustainable agriculture.
     
  • Meteotrack provides users with detailed weather reports with a history of the weather in their fields, so we pay attention to how the weather is changing and how it affects their operations, which is especially important in this era of a changing climate.
     
  • In the near future, Meteotrack will suggest to the farmer where to take soil samples to best assess the condition of the field, or how to determine the optimal fertilization map

With our solutions, farmers are able to better plan and manage their crops, resulting in better agricultural production and enhancing food security. By supporting regenerative agriculture, we contribute to the protection of biodiversity and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Through the development of farmers' economic activities, we are helping to significantly increase the efficiency and profitability of crops and improve the quality of life.

Fighting hunger - how does Meteotrack Agro help farmers produce better agriculture and what are the benefits to society from better agricultural production?

Goal 2: Zero Hunger - United Nations Sustainable Development


 

Fighting hunger is one of the UN's most important development goals and one of Meteotrack Agro's core missions. With our solutions, farmers are able to better plan and manage their crops, resulting in more efficient agricultural production and increased food security.

Efficient agricultural production has huge benefits for society, as it contributes to food security and hunger-reduction. By supporting regenerative agriculture, we are also helping to protect biodiversity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

According to a 2018 UN report*, more than 820 million people worldwide suffer from hunger, and more than 2 billion people are affected by malnutrition. By supporting regenerative agriculture that is more resilient to changing climatic conditions and makes more efficient use of natural resources, Meteotrack Agro - As an AI-powered decision support platform for farmers - is helping to increase agricultural productivity and reduce hunger.

We are also contributing to biodiversity conservation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Regenerative agriculture is much more environmentally friendly than chemical agriculture because it does not use artificial fertilizers and pesticides, which contributes to biodiversity conservation. Regenerative agriculture also emits fewer greenhouse gases than chemical agriculture, which contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fighting global warming.

We want to offer our solution in developing countries, where a significant portion of farmers are digitally excluded and do not have access to the latest practices and expertise. On the other hand, this is where access to modern decision-support tools can make the biggest difference in improving farm efficiency and avoiding massive soil degradation, which can be catastrophic in its consequences.

Promoting sustainability - how does Meteotrack Agro support regenerative agriculture and what are the environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture (which we support)?

Sustainable Development Goal 12 - Wikipedia

Promoting sustainable development is a key UN goal and one of Meteotrack Agro's top priorities. By supporting regenerative agriculture, we are helping to protect biodiversity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase the quality of life in the countryside.

Regenerative agriculture is an important component of sustainable development, as it involves the use of natural farming methods that not only allow better use of resources, but also protect the environment and biodiversity. Meteotrack Agro supports regenerative agriculture by, for example, providing farmers with information on optimal sowing and harvesting dates, forecasting weather conditions and providing information on soil management and irrigation.

Access to knowledge about the principles of regenerative agriculture is particularly important in those countries that lack effective agricultural education systems. This is where a widely available agricultural decision support platform can become the only source of knowledge about the latest trends in the area of sustainable agriculture and an effective way to disseminate knowledge on the subject. 

Conservation - how does Meteotrack Agro support biodiversity conservation and what benefits does biodiversity conservation bring to nature?

Sustainable Development Goal 15 - Wikipedia
 

Nature conservation is another key UN goal and one of Meteotrack Agro's top priorities. By supporting regenerative agriculture and protecting biodiversity, we are helping to improve the quality of life in the countryside, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase food security.

With Meteotrack Agro, farmers can better plan and manage their crops, allowing them to make better use of resources and increase yields.

Biodiversity conservation has many benefits for nature, such as protecting species diversity and ecosystems, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving water and air quality, and increasing organic soil.

Summary - how is Meteotrack Agro contributing to the UN development goals and what prospects do we see for Meteotrack Agro in the future?
 

As a decision support platform for farmers powered by artificial intelligence and qualitative data sources, Meteotrack Agro contributes to the UN development goals by supporting regenerative agriculture and protecting biodiversity. By providing farmers with information on optimal sowing and harvesting dates, weather forecasting, and soil management, Meteotrack Agro helps farmers produce agriculture based on sustainable practices.

In the future, Meteotrack Agro sees prospects for growth by expanding its reach to other continents, including developing countries, and further developing its platform with the latest technology to further assist farmers in sustainable development.
 

As Meteotrack Agro, we are proud to contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and promise to continuously improve our operations to improve the lives of all farmers.
