Verdant Makes Immediate Impact Through Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS)

Verdant Robotics is selling its precision spraying solutions to growers through the Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS) model. CEO and co-founder Gabe Sibley shares why FaaS is the best option for Verdant in this Successful Farming feature. “I think people delivering hardware today for sale are knowingly delivering an early version that’s going to be a paperweight in a year,” Sibley says. “We don’t want to do that. We want to make sure we’re there with skin in the game, so we are obligated to hit a guarantee for the growers.” Verdant’s autonomous system attaches to the back of a tractor and can cover up to 4.2 acres per hour while applying herbicide and fertilizer on individual crops.
