We are building modern automation tools that are accessible to every farmer.

Together, we can empower farmers to build a more resilient future.

Our mission

At Verdi, our mission is to empower farmers with modern automation tools that are affordable, reliable, and simple to use. We believe in a future where every farmer, regardless of scale, can harness the power of advanced technology to build resilience, optimize resources, and thrive in an ever-changing world.

Starting with irrigation—where 95 percent of specialty crop irrigation is still executed and reported on manually—we are addressing one of the most important, time-consuming, and costly farm tasks.

By bringing agriculture into the internet and AI age, we ensure that our solutions not only solve real problems but also inspire innovation across the industry. Through a commitment to grower obsession, high standards, and meaningful action, Verdi is shaping the future of farming with innovative engineering.
