Ralph George
Director Of Sales Europe, Middle East, and Africa

My passion is bringing new technologies to farming communities in the EMEA region. As the global population dynamic increases, agriculture strives for new technologies to ensure we can feed the world based on a forecast of 9 Billion people in 2050. Growers are faced with perpetual resource constraints such as water scarcity, plant protection solutions and the lack of additional land to increase production. Having 30 years’ experience in irrigation and integrated crop agronomics, it is apparent growers require more measurement tools and methods to ‘Measure to Know’ plant and soil requirements to optimize crop production.
