The AI-Powered Evolution of Agriculture

The global population is projected reach 9 billion by 2050. From cleaner food to higher yield rates through harvesting automation to disease detection in plants and animals, AI is powering the agricultural revolution to support the world's fast-growing population. Meet the startups leveraging GPU-computing to solve one of the most important problems the world is facing.

Featuring:
- Aker (Orlando Saez, CEO): Sses deep learning to provide a diagnosis to generate comprehensive field insights on soil and crops, enabling farmers to monitor crop disease, insects, and other common crop stressors and increase productivity.
- EcoRobotix (Aurélien Demaurex, CEO): Develops an autonomous machine for the ecological and economical weeding of row crops, meadows and inter-cropping cultures. Uses 20 times less herbicide due to precise detection and discriminating spraying of weeds and works up to 12 hours a day without a human operator, enabling farmers to reduce the amount of pesticides needed in crop farming.
- Tevel (Yaniv Moar, CEO): Develops of an airborne patented robotics platform designed to create an autonomous concept for orchard harvest and management. The company's platform helps in revolutionary fruit sorting at the source by picking the quality fruit in the orchard at the precise timing, enabling farmers to optimize their farming patterns and boost yields by helping them to grow tall fruit trees.
- ITK (Aline Bsaibes, CEO) - ITK provides farmers and their advisors with analyses to measure and improve profitability, production and supply chain performance, to support sustainable agriculture. Dr. Bsaibes has been selected among the 25 Top Women Leaders in Europe for 2021 by the Software Report (NYC)
