At Farmizen, we believe millennials will change the face of the farming industry. Admired much for their business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, passion and technological savvy – millennials are expected to pioneer and champion a number of innovations in agriculture – both as consumers and entrepreneurs.
Millennials as Consumers
Millennials want to consume food that is marked by transparency, sustainability, and health consciousness. They are:
- More likely to buy organic and locally sourced food
- Interested in knowing where their food comes from
- Willing to pay premium prices for quality and sustainability
- Active on social media, sharing their food choices and influencing others
Millennials as Farmers
A new generation of farmers is emerging. Unlike previous generations, many of these young farmers:
- Come from non-farming backgrounds
- Have college degrees in various fields
- Are tech-savvy and embrace modern farming technologies
- Focus on sustainable and organic practices
- Use social media and direct-to-consumer marketing
Technology and Farming
Millennials are bringing technology to agriculture in unprecedented ways:
Precision Farming
- GPS-guided tractors
- Drone surveillance for crop monitoring
- Soil sensors for optimal irrigation
Direct Marketing
- Farm-to-table delivery apps
- Social media marketing
- Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) models
Sustainable Practices
- Solar-powered irrigation
- Vertical farming
- Hydroponics and aquaponics
The Farmizen Model
Farmizen was born from this millennial spirit – using technology to connect urban consumers directly with organic farmers. Our app-based platform allows you to "own" a piece of farmland and receive fresh, organic produce directly from the farm.
The future of farming is young, innovative, and sustainable. And millennials are leading the way.
