Sensors, data and digital platforms for more efficient, accurate and environmentally friendly agriculture. A project that optimizes irrigation and crop defense, reducing waste and improving natural resource management.

Capua (CE), Oct. 23, 2025-From weather stations installed in fields to sensors that measure moisture and leaf wetness, to decision support systems for phytosanitary defense of corn: the new partnership between Fattorie Garofalo and xFarm Technologies represents another step toward the future of the buffalo supply chain.

A project that consolidates Fattorie Garofalo's evolutionary vision, geared toward transforming agricultural management into a model based on data, precision and sustainability. Thanks to this collaboration, in the fields cultivated to feed buffaloes every agronomic choice becomes more conscious, allowing to intervene only when needed, reduce waste and optimize the use of natural resources, with positive effects on productivity and theenvironment.

The project involves the complete agroclimatic digitization of Fattorie Garofalo 's seven farms through the xFarm platform and the use of advanced sensor technology. By centrally collecting and analyzing agronomic data, operators will be able to monitor weather and soil conditions in real time, make targeted decisions and minimize the use of water and plant protection products.

"This collaboration with xFarm Technologies represents a further step for us in the path of innovation and sustainability that has always guided our company," comments Giovanni Garofalo, director of Fattorie Garofalo's Farms Business Unit. " The adoption of advanced digital tools allows us to improve resource management, reducing environmental impact while guaranteeing the quality of forages and thus also implementing the welfare of the buffalo raised, a symbol of Campania's tradition and territory."

The implementation of our solutions contributes to the achievement of important sustainability goals for Fattorie Garofalo's entire buffalo supply chain. The collection and use of data represent an indispensable new frontier for the development and competitiveness of this reality, with which we are proud to collaborate. Our synergy is a concrete example of how what promotes productivity can, at the same time, generate benefits in terms of efficiency and reduced environmental impact, thanks to an intelligent use of technology," adds Matteo Vanotti, CEO of xFarm Technologies.

In detail, the use of Decision Support Systems (DSS) makes it possible to optimize agronomic management of maize especially in the aspects of irrigation and then harvesting, providing agronomists and farm operators with accurate indications of the best times to intervene. Information from sensors and weather stations is processed by the xFarm platform, turning into hard data and informed decisions that improve agronomic performance and make agricultural production more sustainable.

The project, which began in September 2024, saw an initial digital training and configuration phase, followed bysensor installation andoperational startup in spring 2025. Today Fattorie Garofalo can synergistically manage all of its farms, confirming once again how innovation, sustainability and quality can coexist in a single path of responsible growth.
