AI systems are well-known for improving the overall harvest quality and accuracy in agriculture, also known as precision agriculture. Artificial intelligence has enabled the detection of diseases in plants, pests, and poor nutrition on farms. Advanced tech sensors can detect and target weeds and protect plants from being damaged. Here are some of the top AI companies that are redefining the farming sector in 2022.
Cropin is a global ag-ecosystem intelligence provider. Cropin's suite of products enables various stakeholders in the agri-ecosystem, including financial services providers, to adopt and drive digital strategy across their agricultural operations. Vegetables and legumes yield to drop by ~35% by 2100. 35-50% of food produced goes waste annually & results in 25% of wastage of fresh water. Excess use of fertilizers and chemicals is impacting soil health & food safety. Cropin's solutions help monitor, analyze and improve biodiversity. 500 million smallholder farming households – representing 2.5 billion people – rely on agricultural production for their livelihoods. Need to enable $US0.5 trillion Agri lending globally, of which US$170 Billion is unmet demand. Enabling Carbon Zero farming to curb global warming. Helping adapt food production to climate change.
Agribolo is a digital platform to improve the lives of farmers' communities across India. It will empower farmers with the latest mandi/weather updates, best farm practices, expert advice related to soil health and nutrition, crop prices, a variety of seeds, and optimum usage of fertilizers. It will also provide "Agri Mart" & "Agro Services" – a marketplace to buy/rent/sell agri-based products & services along with e-mandi services.
Blue River technology empowers its customers and farmers to implement more sustainable solutions: optimize chemical usage, reimagine routine processes, and improve farming yields year after year. The company believes that focusing on the small stuff – pixel-by-pixel and plant-by-plant – leads to big gains. Blue River technology is not just working on technology, but it is making a positive impact through technology. By innovating and optimizing solutions for its customers, they are creating a space where environment and economic sustainability intersect.
Aibono began operations in 2014 by offering AI-powered precision farming solutions to help farmers use analytics, the Internet of Things, and data science to improve yield. The company has since expanded its offerings to sync precision farming with real-time demand and just-in-time harvesting. The solution synchronizes the cropping matrix and predictive harvesting at the farm with retailer consumption data. Aibono claims this seed-to-plate approach will mitigate the risk of high perishability of fresh farm produce and help farmers get better prices and reduce wastage.
Raven is a technology company that creates innovative solutions to solve great challenges. Utilizing our strength in engineering, manufacturing, and technological innovation, Raven is a leader in precision agriculture and situational awareness markets. Raven maintains cohesion and unity at all levels by sharing a common purpose and core values. Its purpose is to solve great challenges, which is what the company aspires to do in a broad, enduring sense. This purpose has been evident since the start of the company when its founders set out to design and build high-altitude research solutions for the emerging challenges of understanding space and the universe — and it drives them even today.
Since 2002, Hortau's patented irrigation management system has been helping growers keep their plants healthy and use their inputs more efficiently. By tracking soil tension, a direct measurement of precisely how much water is available to the plant, growers anticipate plant stress and irrigate as needed to prevent damage. This ensures optimal crop growth while reducing water use, energy consumption, and environmental impact.
Every Iron Ox facility uses robotics and artificial intelligence to ensure each plant receives the optimal levels of sunshine, water, and nutrients. This precision towards our inputs also leads to vastly less waste at every stage of the process. The data we continually collect from our plants is used to constantly refine our process, improving plant quality and quantity, while reducing environmental impacts. Its unique approach to precision farming not only uses less water, less energy, and does not use CO2, but it also enhances the quality of the food we produce.
For vegetable growers who face increased growing costs and new environmental and regulatory pressures, the FarmWise suite of data-driven services harnesses plant-level data to drive precise field actions to streamline farm operations and increase food production efficiency. In 2018, once the second generation of the FarmWise robot was up and running, the company started pilot programs with two early customers from the Central Coast of California and tied bonds with the Western Growers Association. It then became a resident of the Western Growers Association Center for Innovation and Technology.
SkySquirrel Technologies Inc. is a Canadian start-up that develops drone-based imaging technology for monitoring crop health, with a primary focus on improving crop yields and reducing losses from the disease at commercial vineyards. Its mission is to provide growers with the data to help increase the quality and efficiency of crop production. The unique solution it offers integrates a drone system, specialized camera equipment, and image processing through a cloud service to deliver crop information at the plant level. Producers of high-value crops such as grapes deal with a large number of varying factors that influence yield and quality. Precision agriculture can significantly improve production by fine-tuning crop management at the plant level rather than at the field level.
Trace Genomics provides unmatched chemistry and biology analysis of the soil using industry-leading metagenomics sequencing. With crop market prices and growing conditions becoming more unpredictable in agriculture, accurately understanding what is going on in the soil is more important than ever. Trace Genomics is leveraging its unparalleled soil DNA diagnostics to amplify the customers' total impact. Its agronomic customers in regions all over the world can make better management decisions by understanding soil microbes responsible for nutrient cycling functions and soil pathogens.
