AI in agriculture: towards future farming through computer vision

Use AI vision to optimize the whole process: from the preparation of the soil and the sowing of seeds, to the irrigation, weed protection and harvesting.

THE CHALLENGES OF AGRICULTURE BY 2030:

9 billion people

will populate the planet Earth.

+70%

is how much food production
will need to increase to meet the demand.

17%

Harvest losses annually
due to climate change.

Harness the power of AI to stay one step ahead of mother nature

01

Achieve precision farming

No more flying blind with limited data. Instead, make informed decisions to successfully run a healthy, efficient and agile farm or plantation.

Forecast the weather
with greater accuracy

From rainfall to temperature through to humidity levels, AI can help farmers foresee changes in weather conditions to protect crops and yield more produce.

03

Determine what crops deliver the best returns

Vision AI can determine the best produce
to grow and fertilizers to enhance
crop health and quality.

05

Detect pests and protect crops

Between 20-40% of global crop production is lost to pests annually.

Like magic, AI algorithms use satellite images and compare them with historical data to detect whether a single insect has landed on the crops.
