Three agricultural companies from the O'Higgins and Maule regions received the 2023 Field of the Year Award, organized by Anasac in its fourth version, thanks to the use of Wiseconn irrigation technology, which represents an important recognition in the field of sustainability and application of technological tools.
These are Agrícola Las Nueces from the O'Higgins Region, which won the award in the Innovation category, and the companies Hacienda Los Quillayes and Agro San Antonio from the Maule Region, which were recognized in the Field of the Year category.
In the case of Hacienda Los Quillayes, the competition highlights it for “Management and Production of Multiple Varieties of Cherry and Plum Trees and Use of WiseConn Systems.”
The 2023 National Field of the Year Competition – organized by Anasac and sponsored by the National Society of Agriculture (SNA) – since 2019 awards excellence and values in the field and seeks to recognize farmers from all over the country who work with commitment and hard. The contest rewards those who stand out for sharing values such as Productivity and Quality, Social Responsibility, Innovation, Sustainability and experience in the field.
The award-winning companies celebrated WiseConn's contribution to their processes. “We always thought about developing a project with high technology and we saw in WiseConn a leadership in the area of water management. The entire web platform allows us to keep all the information about our field at our fingertips and that is priceless,” said Marcelo Orellana from Agrícola Las Nueces.
According to Tomás Vicente, regional manager for Latin America at WiseConn, these awards obtained by these companies reaffirm the commitment of agtech to sustainability and the effective use of technology. “In addition to the award-winning agricultural companies, we had several other participants who recognized the use of WiseConn for water management. This shows the importance that water has taken on and how innovation and efficient management with a focus on sustainability have taken over agriculture.” He adds that “it fills us with pride to know that our technology is contributing to these indicators of sustainability and efficiency and that we have become a true technological partner for them.”
Investing in agriculture 4.0 will have positive consequences such as increased productivity and responsible use of resources that allow for better decisions to be made based on the data provided, such as the quality of water used, wear and tear on machinery, among others.
