CHALLENGE
Overcoming Inefficiencies Stemming from Subjective Observations
Traditional agricultural practices often relied on subjective observations and delayed responses to emerging issues, leading to inefficiencies, resource wastage, and suboptimal crop yields.
DISCOVERY
Immersing ourselves in the daily routines and decision-making processes of agronomists
To address these challenges, I conducted extensive visits to medium and large agricultural companies, encompassing both greenhouse and open-field settings. This hands-on approach allowed me to gain valuable insights into the routines, practices, and challenges faced by agronomists.
Key takeaways
-
Real-Time Data
Agronomists need real-time data for informed decisions on climate, water, nutrition, and pest control.
-
Traditional Methods
Current methods, such as relying on city-based weather apps and physical devices with limited accuracy, hinder efficient decision-making.
-
Observational Methods
Observational methods for assessing water, soil, nutrition, and pest conditions often lack precision.
SOLUTION
Transforming Agriculture with Data-Backed Decision-Making
Our solution involves the remote monitoring of soil moisture, nutrient levels, climate conditions, and plant health using IoT devices. We empower agronomists with data-driven recommendations for irrigation, nutrition, climate management, and pest/disease control.
Real-time Monitoring
Integration of IoT sensors enables continuous monitoring of essential parameters accessible through web and mobile apps.
Historical Data
Leveraging historical data enhances the accuracy and reliability of our monitoring system.
Agricultural Advice
Our collaboration with data scientists and agronomy experts has led to the development of machine learning algorithms, fine-tuned on historical and real-time data, providing tailored recommendations.
IMPACT
Transformative Agricultural Impact
Our platform has had a significant positive impact on crop productivity and quality. It has streamlined decision-making processes, resulting in a remarkable increase in overall yield. Recognition, including the prestigious World Summit Award, underscores the transformative nature of our contribution to the agricultural sector.
