We are an innovative agro-technology Group, a leading provider of precision agriculture services and technology innovation
Abaco UK is part of Diagram Group, a technology hub serving agri-businesses, owned by Nextalia, Europe’s most important investment fund in the agritehc sector. Our goal is to promote socio-economic and environmental sustainability in the agrifood supply chain. We work with partners across the agri-food industry, agricultural companies, Governments and Public Administration.
With offices in UK and all around Europe, we operate world-wide across public and private sectors.
Services and solutions
We develop software solutions dedicated to precision agriculture and sustainability and process data from various sources to meet the needs of all agribusiness operators. We provide technology and expertise and, together, we revolutionise agriculture while respecting tradition.
Weather stations, humidity sensors, smart traps and much more. We provide the hardware needed and we process real time data collected by IoT and sensors. Here are just some of the many parameters that our sensors monitor and track:

CROP MONITORING & PROTECTION
Where Hardware exists and offers the ability to integrate, we collect, consolidate and process data into our platform.
One integrated digital platform that provides scaleable, robust, configurable and modular solutions. Designed for the agricultural sector, it helps obtain complete transparency of processes, making them more usable and generating value from data, to improve management, monitoring, intervention and precision control of activities and improving sustainability.
It enables governments & Public administrations to manage agricultural payments, processing structural funding within national policies.
We are Strategic Partner of UK Dept of Environment, Food, Rural Affairs, managing new Environmental Land Management, Sustainable Farming initiatives.
We assist land managers, growers, consultants and agronomists improve management of agricultural activities through the platform’s database and artificial intelligence algorithms.
Supply chain managing traceability, crop security, sustainability & food security.
It collects and collates big data, applies artificial intelligence for monitoring crops, arboriculture, viticulture and environmental sustainability, land use analysis and control.
Supporting implementation of sustainable strategy for intensification of agricultural production and precision intervention, reducing costs and improving margins:
FOR THE AGRO-INDUSTRY

Some of the services we provide:
The cartographic system is an integrated multilayer support for crop representation, mapping and geo-positioning of registry and procedural elements (samples, analyses, visits, monitoring, activities), drawing of elements relatable to registry entities, visualisation and management of movements of people and vehicles, harvesting and delivery logistics.
It offers complete campaign management with a "top view" approach, which is intuitive and fast, using a cartographic background on which all the useful and user-developed layers are superimposed: land registries, phenological or phytopathological surveys, soil analysis, sampling.
Precision agriculture allows farms and agri-food chains to make the entire production process more efficient and traceable. Through the use of dedicated machines and software, all field operations from sampling to soil preparation, sowing, fertilisation and harvesting are made more efficient, allowing all operators to do the right thing at the right time and in the right place. The resulting benefits are enormous in terms of both quality and yield, effectively increasing farm income but above all increasing farm sustainability by significantly reducing inputs such as water and fertilisers or simply reducing the use of tractors and machinery in general.
Monitoring of the vegetative state
- Processing NDVI and MSAVI vegetation vigour indices that measure the photosynthetic capacity of crops.
- Verification of crop presence
- Verification of anomalies due to climatic events and/or unplanned harvests
- Identification of areas of criticality
- Identification of qualitative variability within fields
- Evaluation of the performance of different plots over the years and with different crops
- Integration of vigour indices into the fertilisation plan
The electronic treatment registry provides access to farm, field and crop records with the possibility of graphic crop plans and a top view approach using Google GIS mapping. A powerful tool that makes it easy to manage the most complex situations, also thanks to real-time checks on the label constraints of plant protection products, fertilisers and specifications, as well as technical decision support systems such as irrigation, defence, fertilisation plans, weather data.
Historical and forecast agro-meteorological indices provide useful indications for agronomic farm management and optimisation of agricultural practice and resource use. Soil surveys in the field and the connection of sensors and control units to the platform make it possible to integrate and fine-tune the predefined environmental data, further enriching the database available to the user. The monitoring and thus control of crop progress is ensured by satellite indices and derived colour maps that make it possible to assess the vigour of the vegetation and any uneven crop growth or the water content of the plants and any plant stress.

A complete management of livestock, capable of managing each individual barn, battery or individual animal with various configurations for:
- Batteries (management of animals in groups and not for individual animals).
- Types per species
- Growth States
- Feeding requirements also with automation of feeding operations
- Creation of predefined mixtures or dosing according to requirement-growth.
- Complete consistency reporting
- All reference data about traceability, regulations, genealogy, etc.
This solution allows the management of costs and incomes as well as the automation of operations such as automatic feed calculation, monitoring of purchases and exit, the registration of weight on entry of the animal into the cowshed, on exit from the cowshed and during the stationing period.Â
The module is also integrated with the Veterinary Information System and the APP is used to manage the animals and the activities carried out in the barn, such as checking the registration numbers on arrival and recording the stocks.
Using our platform it is possible to detect a series of parameters that help outline the sustainability profile of farms and agro-industries, in particular we can:
- quantify organic carbon in the soil from satellite images that help verify the effectiveness of agronomic practices in relation to the carbon stock
- provide agronomic support for sustainable practices
- do remote monitoring of sustainable agricultural practices (automatic systems that monitor the actual adoption of sustainable agricultural practices that increase soil CO2 stock capacity)
- monitor CO2 emissions thanks to specific dashboards:
A service that supports agricultural insurance management that can assess agricultural risks caused by adverse weather events or monitor the damage as it occurs. Our risk management technology leverages various tools, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data, to optimise risk management in the agricultural sector by offering a service to both farms and banks and insurance companies.
How it works:
FOR GOVERNMENTS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONS
The solution offers different modules that can be combined to meet the specific needs of each Public Administration:Â

Prosecco DOC represents Italy’s leading denomination in terms of volume and value and involves a territory that straddles the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions for a supply chain made up of:
Results
allowed the Consortium to parcel out the viticultural management of the territory and then assess how these risk classes impact the viticultural management.
The path of innovation undertaken by the Consortium together with Abaco represents an important investment aimed at protecting the territory and making the viticultural management more sustainable: the project carried out an innovative zonation that involved not only pedoclimatic analysis of the territory, but also parameters that would allow the Consortum to identify zones by indices of water and thermal risk. The purpose of the new stage of this project is to identify – thanks to EO – those indicators that allow to delimit and perimeter the areas affected by calamitous events.
In 2022, the Ferrari Trento embarked on an innovative collaboration with Abaco to digitize its 100 hectares of vineyards in Trentino. This ambitious project aims to transform traditional viticultural practices through the use of the Abaco Farmer platform, enabling precise acquisition and management of land information.
