xFarm Technologies and ISFA Launch Soil-Focused Almond Project

xFarm Technologies, a Switzerland-based agricultural technology company with a strong presence in Spain, has entered into a collaboration with ISFA, an agricultural project management company overseeing approximately 7,500 hectares of almond orchards in Spain and Portugal. The partnership aims to improve efficiency and sustainability in almond production under the SES (Super High Density) cultivation system.

The project is centered on the premise that soil health and soil knowledge are foundational to sustainable agricultural performance. By combining digital tools with agronomic expertise, the two companies are working to enhance decision-making across almond orchards in the Iberian Peninsula.
