Fieldbee - GPS systems for farmers

We are a team of talented IT specialists from Ukraine and Netherland who created one of the first mobile applications for farmers eFarmer. In 2014 we got a grant from the European Space Agency Business Incubation Center in Noordwijk, the Netherlands and started to develop the new product for farmers using GPS technologies. From our first meetings with farmers, weve found out that farmers are currently having very difficult times. They work hard and are having a lot of issues to manage. One of the hardest jobs that they are exposed to is actually driving a tractor in a field. This work requires a lot of concentration and makes farmers tired very fast. They start to make a lot of mistakes and those mistakes cost a lot of time and money. We realized that although there are already precision farming technologies on the market available from the mid-90s, only 3-5% of all tractors worldwide are equipped with such systems. Why? Because they were too expensive for small and medium farmers and very complex. We highly acknowledge the importance of farmer's work, as they produce food for all of us - the people who live on this Planet. The number of people is growing, while the number of farmers is decreasing. More and more farmers are forced to sell their legacy farms. Young people do not want to continue the family business. Family farming is in danger! As IT company we see that now is a great moment when technologies can really help. 2 years ago weve decided to undertake a challenge and created the first affordable tractor navigation system FieldBee. This is just the beginning. We believe that precision should be as accessible as Wi-Fi and we want to continue to create new products using new technologies to make farmers life easier and happier. Join us to help farmers meet the global challenge.
