enfarm – a pioneering enterprise in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to measure and advise on soil nutrition for farmers – has just received a grant of $350,000 from the Partnering for Green Growth and the Global Goals 2030 (P4G).
P4G is considered the world’s leading forum for promoting public-private partnerships, connecting governments, businesses, and socio-political organizations to jointly develop breakthrough solutions for green growth, contributing to the realization of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
enfarm’s groundbreaking technology will be showcased at the National Convention Center in Hanoi from April 14th to 17th, 2025. Here, enfarm will have the opportunity to present its innovative solutions to hundreds of leaders, delegates, and policymakers from around the world.
A Significant Advancement in Sustainable Agriculture
enfarm is addressing a critical issue in global agriculture: each year, 60% of fertilizers applied are not absorbed by crops, resulting in approximately $120 billion in waste, the degradation of one-third of the world’s arable land, and contributing to 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
By combining soil sensor data with a mobile application, enfarm utilizes machine learning technology to increase the precision of affordable sensors and deliver practical, data-driven recommendations to farmers.
Field trials conducted on coffee farms in Dak Lak Province have demonstrated that enfarm’s technology can increase crop yields by up to 30% and reduce fertilizer use by 30%.
Founded by Dr. Ho Long Phi, a former member of the National Advisory Board on Climate Change, enfarm is positioned as a transformative solution for shifting agriculture toward low-emission, high-yield practices. This shift is crucial to meeting the 70% increase in global food demand forecasted by the FAO by 2050.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Agriculture
Mr. Dzung Do Nguyen, Co-founder and CEO of enfarm, emphasizes that climate change is rendering traditional farming techniques less effective. Challenges such as declining fruiting rates in the Mekong Delta and quality issues with durians in the Central Highlands highlight the urgent need for technological solutions.
enfarm offers farmers an opportunity to not only improve productivity and income but also to adopt more sustainable and climate-resilient farming methods.
Currently, the company is focused on developing a comprehensive database encompassing soil, fertilizer, and crop data. This effort is aimed at creating breakthrough innovations by 2025 that will revolutionize agricultural production.
With a robust technological infrastructure, enfarm plans to expand into ASEAN markets in 2025, leveraging growing agricultural commodity prices, climate change adaptation demands, and the rising urgency of food security across the region.
