Yara-Founded Varda Partners With Ever.Ag
Ever.Ag’s FieldAlytics farm management system will now incorporate Varda’s Global FieldID (GFID) into its capabilities.
The new collaboration will be effective in December and aims to provide traceability for retailers and others in the food chain—all the way from planting to processing.
"Our vision is to create and maintain a universal and shared map of agricultural fields that acts as an “address system” for all industry stakeholders,” said Davide Ceper, CEO at Varda commented. “As field-level data generation grows with technology adoption, sharing information through the supply chain while protecting privacy needs to become more convenient. Large-scale collaboration made possible by a GFID will make food production more resilient, productive, transparent, and sustainable.”
Ever.Ag reports more than 3 millions acres of field boundaries managed in FieldAlytics. Varda has focused its efforts on large-scale supply chain reporting. Bringing together the technologies works toward reducing risks for service providers and boosting consumer trust in food production processes.
"More than ever, consumers care about where their food comes from, whether it is health concerns, a desire for transparency or environmental consideration. GFID is the best solution that I have seen to provide traceability of field boundaries,” said Ben Sloan, VP of Product and Strategy for Digital Agronomy at Ever.Ag. FieldAlytics is proud to once again be a pioneer in delivering solutions that matter to growers. We look forward to the rest of the industry joining us in the adoption GFID."
