"The agriculture industry is facing increasingly strict requirements to reduce the overheads of water usage, improve environmental outcomes, and ensure we maintain compliance with regulatory requirements," says Wayne Parr, Director at Golden Grove Nursery, the dominant supplier of citrus nursery trees to the Queensland, Australia citrus industry.

He continues, "Golden Grove produces between 200,000 250,000 citrus nursery trees per year, supplying up to 70% of Queenslands citrus growers and commercial orchards. Using the power of data and Hitachi Sustainability Solutions and Services to improve our irrigation management processes, we're now able to intelligently monitor the irrigation systems daily and understand exactly when to water so we can identify and adjust for the months ahead."

Hitachi states it is focused on helping customers create strategic plans and define measured steps to drive real change, enabling businesses to transform their organisation, reduce their environmental impact, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
