What is Data Farming?
We merge agriculture, distributed computing, and space hardware into a single fabric that scales from Nigerian farmlands to orbital data centers.
Agro-Data Center Advantage
- Thermal synergy: Water-based fish farms double as heat sinks for submerged racks.
- Renewable-first: Solar arrays with dynamic load shifting to grid.
- Dual-use land: Agriculture output maintained while computing grows.
Distributed Architecture
- Drone edge: 50 GPU-enabled UAVs delivering 3.3 PFLOPS aggregate.
- 56 clusters: mmWave backhaul with redundant fiber where available.
- Orchestration: Mesh-aware scheduler that balances AI inference, blockchain validation, and agri workloads.
