01About us

ISFA (Iberian Smart Financial Agro) is a Spanish company specialising in the development, investment and management of efficient and sustainable agricultural projects in Spain and Portugal.

We work with a long-term vision, combining technical expertise, financial structure and a clear commitment to sustainability.

Integrated value chain

We cover the whole agricultural chain: from identifying land to commercialisation.

02Our foundations

Strategic pillars

What underpins every one of our projects.

01

Profitability

Our agricultural assets are managed with financial and operational criteria that maximise returns and minimise risk. The efficiency of the SES Model and the technology we apply deliver consistent, measurable results.

02

Technology

Technology is the core of our operations: on every farm, field decisions are made with data.

03

Sustainability

Sustainability is not a slogan, it is a technical system. The SES Model reduces water consumption, optimises inputs, improves soil health and generates a positive carbon balance. We also drive biodiversity and circular economy projects.

04

Scalability

Our model can be replicated across different crops and regions. Our experience with almonds has allowed us to develop a technical standard that we now apply to blueberries, pistachios, olives and kiwis, with promising results.

These pillars take shape in what we grow and how we grow it.

03Portfolio

04How we grow

SES Model

Sustainable and Efficient System

The technical standard we grow by: it began with almonds and is now the basis of all our crops.

  • Up to29%

    more efficient water use per kilo of almonds produced

  • Up to42%

    reduction in phytosanitary product use

  • 100%

    of harvesting and pruning mechanised

04

Mechanisation

Operational efficiency and a smaller carbon footprint.

The SES Model delivers a positive carbon balance and outstanding agronomic results.

05Innovation

ISFA Technology

Data, algorithms and automation at the service of every decision in the field.

From data to decision

01

We measure

Soil and climate sensors on every farm.

02

We detect

Satellite, drone and aircraft flag water stress and faults.

03

We decide

Our own irrigation algorithms calculate daily water needs.

04

We act

Automated irrigation and mechanised tasks carry out the decision in the field.
