Tambero.com is a cloud platform that helps farmers to keep track of the information of their livestock, dairy and crops. Farms distributed in 150 countries track the status of their animals and receive alerts and recommendations to increase production based on the application of the best practices provided by our award winning system.

Question 2 (opens 24 September)
Our project is called Tambero.com and is a tool designed to help to increase milk production and livestock. When users create their free account, the system generates a sample farm with data so they can see how it works. This demonstration farm is also used to teach in schools about how is a farm working with best practices. Best practices entered into the system are the product of years of analysis and feedback of our users worldwide, other farmers and specialists like veterinarians. We also used as a source of information a number of farms that have increased production in recent years, and we have studied what are the techniques that have allowed them to achieve that. As we are collecting information, the system will be able to analyze the data of a farmer and recommend practices to a user depending on the region where he lives and the size of his farm. We believe that "smart farming" is not having everything automated, but the best use of the resources that farmers have with proper information.
We strongly believe that ICTs are an excellent opportunity to disseminate best practices among small and medium farmers worldwide. In our experience, developing a free tool to assist them in the use of best practices has enabled us to reach more than 40,000 dairy farmers in 150 countries without the support of any NGO, goverment or investments. From Bangladesh to Nicaragua, in our project we are growing by hundreds of farmers every day based on this philosophy of free, easy to use and modern tools to spread knowledge, and we think that is a way to help improve production and income of farmers.
If we can do it without money or support, based on a small town in Argentina, imagine what would be possible with better assistance.
Forum Forum: "Using ICT to enable Agricultural Innovation Systems for smallholders" September, 2012
Question 1 (opens 17 Sept.)
As a startup based on agriculture, at Tambero.com we developed free tools to optimize the production of small and medium farmers worldwide. Right now we have users un 89 countries, most of them in South America, Asia and Africa. Our free system uses innovative ideas and trends such as QR codes to track information about land parcels and cattle in the cell phone.
Thanks to these innovations we have been recognized in various fields of technology, however it has been difficult to have the support of agricultural aid organizations. It often seems that offer free radical innovation does not always fit into the schemes of agriculture and international aid organizations.

Forum Forum: "Mobile Information Services" November, 2011
Question 1: In a partnership between a mobile network operator and agricultural partners...
Hello All
Telcos are the major technology platforms with better penetration into rural areas, and may be the best alternative of agriculture modernization with the right partners. Mobile technology can provide better opportunities for both small and large farmers, offering better products access and opportunities for communication and development. In the case of the company I represent, as a small new startup we dont have yet any partnership with a Telco, but having good mobile platform is the basis for our business plan and the support of our main technology products.
