The digital partner of choice?for the Agri-Industry Food

🌱 Founded in 2008 as a spin-off from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and integrated into the BASF group in 2022, Horta stands out for its commitment to converting scientific research into practical and innovative solutions for the agroindustry.

With a mission focused on leveraging scientific and technological research for the benefit of the agri-food supply chains, Horta promotes sustainable practices aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of agricultural production.

🚀 The company's main services, such as Decision Support Systems (DSS) and Yousustain.net, directly address the needs for sustainability and optimization of the agri-food supply chains.

💡 The DSS, developed on a robust R&D base and validated with field trials, provide real-time decision support to optimize cultivation practices. These tools, thanks to their ease of use, allow farmers to implement integrated crop management, optimizing the use of resources such as water and fertilizers, and adapting cultivation techniques to specific environmental conditions.

🌍 Meanwhile, Yousustain.net represents a service focused on assessing the environmental footprint of agricultural practices. Through life cycle analysis (Life Cycle Assessment - LCA) and the adoption of specific indicators for agriculture, it facilitates the quantification of environmental impact and guides companies towards more sustainable agriculture, contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and supporting productive sustainability.

🌾 With over 130,000 plots managed in Italy and abroad, Horta is a reference point for agri-food supply chains in adopting efficient and sustainable production practices, in harmony with global sustainable development goals.
