An Open Digital Ecosystem For Farms
Increasing Productivity
Moving to net-zero
Measuring biodiversity
Unlocking new value from integrated data
Subsidies - 42% of farms are economically dependent on subsidies for survival, but those subsidies will disappear by 2027
Input costs - Dramatic rises of over 300% threaten profitability
Meeting Net-Zero - Targeted for 2040 (NFU) or 2030 (supermarkets), but where do farmers start?
Enhancing Biodiversity - Critical for the future of the planet but how do farmers measure it?
Climate Change - Unprecedented climate volatility is directly impacting yields
Pressures on farms today mean they need to measure more, manage more, and adapt more, simply to stay in business.
Adoption of digital technology is generating huge volumes of data but farms lack the tools and systems to utilise it fully. This lack of interoperability and the related "Technology Islands" drives inefficiency, reduces ROI, and blocks productivity improvements.
Emerging technology including AI and automation (robots) compounds these issues.
We are creating a new farm-focused Open standard in digital farming, an Open Digital Farm (ODF) ecosystem for arable and horticultural farms driven by end-to-end operational workflows, an intelligent cloud-based integration platform.
The ODF ecosystem with Flexifarm™ at its core integrates at the data level with current and future software, machinery, robots, sensors, and data providers, delivering a Win-Win for all.
Diometer are founder members of the Open Digital Farm initiative which is aiming to create a new digital standard for farms.
"Diometer has provided an opportunity to test ideas for addressing current operational and technical issues on the estate whilst also helping us address some of the big challenges most farmers are facing" (Andrew Blenkiron, Euston Estates Director)
We are looking for ambitious people to join our team. Are you excited by the opportunity to change farming at a time of climate crisis?

The Suffolk Economy Grant Scheme, funded by Suffolk County Council, is helping Diometer develop a new Husbandry Tasks module for Flexifarm, being built initially with Boxford Farms. It replaces paper-based timesheets with real-time digital records.
The Suffolk Economy Grant Scheme, funded by Suffolk County Council, is helping Diometer develop a new module for our Flexifarm platform, a new type of data integration platform for farms, sold as a modularised SaaS proposition.
Flexifarm already delivers farms verified ROIs ranging between 7x and 10x depending on the actual solutions adopted. This module is expected to extend this financial benefit for farms.
The new module, designed to support Husbandry Tasks, is being developed initially with Boxford Farms, the south Suffolk fruit grower, but will add important new functionality to the Flexifarm platform, with the potential to add value to many other growers of all types. It will:
