Artificial intelligence meets agriculture
Transforming agriculture with data-driven predictive and prescriptive analytics
Our Technology
From data to decisions
We leverage a variety of data sources to develop approaches for optimizing agricultural practices using the latest in artificial intelligence techniques.
- Remote sensing.
- We continuously process enormous volumes of satellite imagery to ensure our predictions and recommendations are always up-to-date
- Ground truth data.
- Our teams of ground agents use our data collection application to collect the field data that is crucial for training our models.
- Laboratory testing.
- Identifying individual soil compositions enables us to establish causal links between fertilizer practices and outcomes.
Our Mission
Tackling global food security using advanced analytics
Our solutions deliver value to all players across the agricultural space
- Farmers
Our personalized, data-driven advice is tailored to each individual plot, providing farmers with the tools they need to optimize their operations and increase their profits, while also minimizing waste and reducing their environmental impact. Our advanced analytics tools allow farmers to monitor their crops in real-time, providing insights into crop health, water and nutrient use, and more.
- Governments
Our services provide governments with the tools they need to make informed decisions about agricultural policy and regulation, promoting food security, environmental sustainability, and economic growth. With our help, governments can create policies and programs that support a thriving agricultural sector, benefitting both farmers and the broader community.
- Banking and Insurance Providers
Our technologies help banks and insurance companies to better understand the agricultural landscape. By incorporating detailed data on soil conditions, weather patterns, and crop growth, these companies can reduce their risk, improving access to credit and insurance for farmers.
