<p>Nofence is the world&rsquo;s first commercially available virtual fencing solution for livestock. Our grazing technology eliminates the need for physical fences and enables farmers to flexibly manage their pastures and herds from their smartphones by using our app.</p>
<p>Farmers can optimise their grazing management whilst reducing the time and cost. Animals can be utilised in new areas and to perform new services, bringing a plethora of benefits from biodiversity to fire control, all whilst producing meat and fibre. In addition, plants and soil can be protected by enabling animals to move regularly as nature intended.</p>
