About
We offer AI- and big data-enabled digital solutions tailored for small and medium-sized farms, focused on the sustainable management of inputs and natural resources such as fertilisers, and soil health. Our platform combines UAV, IoT, and mobile-based monitoring tools with AI-powered analytics to support on-farm decision-making at low cost and with minimal infrastructure requirements.
Our approach emphasizes scalability, simplicity, and affordability, ensuring that resource-limited farms can benefit from digitalisation. We have experience co-developing solutions with farmers, agri-tech SMEs, and extension services in previous projects.
Role in the Consortium
We seek to join as a technology and implementation partner, contributing:
-
AI tools and mobile platforms for input/resource monitoring
-
UAV and IoT integration for low-cost sensing and analytics
-
Farmer-centred design, training materials, and digital decision support
-
Validation, deployment, and feedback loops with farming communities
Type of Partner Sought
We are looking for:
-
Small farm networks, cooperatives, or living labs for field validation
-
Extension services and NGOs to support user training and adoption
-
Socio-economic or policy researchers to assess impact and scalability
