Tortuga AgTech empowers growers by using robots that perform a variety of labor-intensive tasks on the farm, with an emphasis on the harvest. Tortuga AgTech's mission is to build a healthier society and a thriving ecosystem through smarter farming. To do this, they want to enable growers to sell better produce - unique, tasty, nutritious food. They're doing this by building Digital Horticulture systems, made up of powerful technology like robotics, automation, and precision data analytics and machine learning. These systems will enable advanced growing methods to compete with scale agriculture, which means growers will be able to grow better produce that's also better for the planet. The automation of picking, packing, and trimming will reduce significantly the manual labor hours needed to grow produce. It will also increase yields through denser layouts and optimized grow conditions. And they'll help create full-time local technical jobs as well. And they do all of that while providing fresher, healthier, and more sustainable products to the humans living near their grower customers' operations.
