Today one of the biggest downsides of regenerative farming is labour intensity. How to care best for the soil and biodiversity while producing enough quality food? The concept of Circlefarming derived from the perspective of facilitating regenerative farming.
The tools for Circlefarming provide new opportunities for the existing stripcropping farming method.
Tools
Arm
The Circlefarming Team designed and developed a rotating arm that facilitates circular intercropping. It is able to move stationary, which offers great abilities for precision irrigation for example, but the user can also direct it on demand.
Modular Equipment
he arm is compatible to carry different existing farming modules in combination with new robotics for automatisation. Therefore it offers a unique combination of tools.
The arm also functions as a cobot: a place where farmers can collaborate with robotics.
Workbed
The designed workbed offers an ergonomic experience while working on the land, be it small or large scale farming.
Moving along the circle shaped field while being able to move freely sideways creates a pleasant working environment
Tools are always nearby as well as baskets for weeds, yield and other materials.
