Equipment Selection

You want to give your operation the best chance to succeed. But there are endless choices for equipment, technology, and consumable suppliers. How do you sift through the marketing claims and decide on the right options?

Agritecture has helped our clients make decisions like these for multiple crop types, varying scales, and across many climates (in 35+ countries). Now, with our pre-vetted list of Equipment Partners, we’re making it even easier - and securing discounts for our clients in the process.

Who is this service for?

Equipment Selection is a fit for anyone choosing new equipment for their CEA operation - from new entrepreneurs looking for advice on their entire suite of equipment, to existing operators seeking guidance on the best solution to a specific challenge, to expanding farms looking to improve certain processes within their new facility.

Why do you need it?

Our 2020 Global CEA Census which surveyed 350+ farms found that nearly 3 in 4 operators would choose their equipment, technology, or crops differently if they could go back in time! Agritecture’s Equipment Selection service will help ensure that you operate regret-free by matching your business goals, budget, crops, and climate with the right equipment.
