At Rezare Systems, a core expertise is turning the mathematical models of biological systems developed by scientists into cohesive, useable and useful software. We consider that a good model that responds sensibly to changes in inputs is a fantastic tool for visualising and understanding complex systems.
What happens to a herd of animals if the feeding regime changes? What can a farm do about extremes of temperature? What factors are limiting grass growth on my farm? What activities on my farm cause loss of nutrients into waterways?
The answers are different for different farms and situations, but sensible models, combined with relevant inputs, can support farmers and their advisors in making good decisions.

Rezare Systems develops and maintains the software that underpins Farmax, a farm and feed planning business. Farmax software is used by top farmers and their consultants to better fit the demand profile of livestock to the pasture growth on their properties. It allows farmers to maximise their profit and proactively manage risk. Learn more about Farmax here. |

Developers in the Rezare team worked with AgResearch scientists and industry specialists to come up with the first tools that eventually became Overseer, a nutrient budgeting and greenhouse gas tool. Overseer is now used across the New Zealand agricultural sector, primarily by fertiliser companies, independent consultants, and policymakers. Farmers use the results of the Overseer model to identify ways to save money on inputs and protect the environment. The models behind Overseer are now maintained by AgResearch, and Rezare Systems contracts to turn those into software tools. |
