Crop Loss Prevention
Global agriculture loses 40% of crops annually to pests and diseases, representing $220 billion in economic losses. Using AI-powered tools, crop producers can spot problems early and tackle them efficiently -- protecting harvests while using fewer chemicals and supporting healthier farming practices.
The Problem
Traditional methods for managing pests and diseases rely on broad chemical applications, which are often wasteful, harmful to ecosystems, and financially burdensome for crop producers. These methods lack the precision required to address threats efficiently and sustainably, leaving producers with preventable losses and higher costs.
The AI Opportunity
AI provides tools to predict pest and disease outbreaks, detect early signs of crop health issues, and offer precise treatment recommendations. These capabilities allow crop producers to optimize resources, reduce unnecessary chemical applications, and take control of pest and disease management.
Why It Matters
Addressing pests and diseases proactively helps crop producers protect yields, lower costs, and reduce environmental harm. Early, targeted interventions preserve resources and improve profitability while supporting global food security and sustainable agriculture practices.
Benefits & Impact
Crop Quality Improvement
Early detection and prediction of outbreaks allow producers to act efficiently, reducing unnecessary pesticide and fungicide use for improved crop quality.
Higher Efficiency
Data-informed recommendations can help producers reduce crop loss and make better decisions around resource allocation – resulting in higher yields and lower overall costs.
Environmental Protection
Precise treatments reduce chemical overuse, preserving soil health and biodiversity; sustainable practices also appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.
