Digitizing Grains

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Agritech 

Problem: Majority of farmers in India are small and marginal farmers, who lack the resources as well as knowledge to adequately store their produce, leading to post harvest grain loss as well as deterioration of grain quality. These farmers do not get access to institutional services. This leads to massive loss of produce due to poor storage and also results in exploitation of farmers in the hands of the traders, because farmers need immediate liquidity to cater to their expenses and credit repayments.

Solution: Ergos has one of the most unique models in the Agri-tech landscape. We are building a “Grainbank” which provides doorstep access to end-to-end post-harvest supply chain solutions to small and marginal farmers enabling farmers to convert their grains into tradable digital assets, avail credit against those assets through partner NBFCs and Banks, and get better prices for their produce.

Autonomous farming robots

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Automation

Problem: It is no secret that the world’s population is increasing year after year. As the world’s population grows, so does the need for agricultural products. There are insufficient farmers and agricultural workers to meet crop output and manufacturing demands. As technology advances, this aspect of agriculture must also be addressed. The world is waiting for a solution to this growing problem, which threatens human survival. This must be addressed with developing technologies.

Solution: Earth Rover is an agricultural technology firm that creates autonomous farming robots for precision farming. Its artificial intelligence and robotics technologies are intended to assist farmers in growing chemical-free food, reducing waste, and increasing profitability.

Crop Monitoring

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Montoring

Problem: Many farmers with large fields grow a variety of crops and will be unable to detect diseases that affect their crops for a variety of reasons. They will need a solution to overcome this issue in order to have a good efficient crop and make a profit, Similarly, vineyard farmers must monitor their fields, which are affected for a variety of reasons, and with so much advancement in technology these days, there must be a way that will assist them.

Solution: SkySquirrel developed drone-based imaging technology for crop health monitoring, with a primary focus on increasing crop yields and lowering disease losses in commercial vineyards. Their objective is to offer data to growers in order to improve crop quality and efficiency.

Intelligent fruit growth monitoring

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Crop Analysis and Forecasting

Problem: Growers do not always have the manpower necessary to adequately assess orchard health or potential. This solution captures the critical growing data that growers need from their orchards to make informed decisions on orchard management.

Solution: A Quad bike / Orchard tractor-mounted vision system is driven between tree lines of orchards at a speed of up to 8km/h (5mph), measuring the quantity, size, density and locations of apples on the trees. Analyse millions of points of data and turn it into information that growers can retrieve in a clear and concise format.

Crop Monitoring for Pests

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Automation

Problem: Farmers must protect their growing crops throughout the season from aggressive weeds. Crops need space, access to sunlight, and key nutrients to thrive. A farmer’s first line of defense against weeds is chemicals. But unfortunately, today, application technology sprays the entire field instead of just the weeds.

Solution: See & Spray™ is a solution for farmers seeking a path forward to care for individual plants in a way that is sustainable for the environment and their farm as a business.
Blue River Technology’s solution leverages deep learning algorithms paired with a computer vision system to create the ultimate virtual field scout for agriculture.

Farm to Fork

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Supply Chain

Problem: Farm to Fork focuses on the supply chain without having any control over produce (of perishable products). With perishables, the supply chain has to be very efficient. There cannot be any hoarding when it comes to perishables, and hence AIBono can help farmers find a market for their products without having them waste the produce.

Solution: AIbono start-up follows produce from the moment the seed is sown which is 60 to 90 days before harvest until it reaches the end consumer. Aibono uses soil sensors IoT devices and imaging drones to collect farm data to be used in predictive analytics. These analytics are then used to help farmers make smart agriculture decisions and these decisions in turn result in higher quality products and a more abundant harvest.

Detect and Control Plant Diseases

Sector: Agriculture
Area: Plant diseases 

Problem: Farmers never asked them about GHG or the soil carbon content, they wanted to know what was wrong with their plants and how to best treat a certain disease. The vast majority of farmers had a local name for the pathogens, which didn’t help much.

Solution: PEAT, along with ICRISAT, has rolled out Plantix, a free app for farmers in South India. The app is adapted to important crops in the region and is offered in local languages. The app identifies plant damages just by taking a picture, thus aiding farmers to save their crops without losing much time.
