Better Farming through AI
Experts predict that by 2050 we will need to grow 70 percent more food than we do today. To achieve this in a sustainable way, we'll need to reimagine what we grow and how we grow it. The Mineral Rover was created to meet this challenge. It scans and maps plants in the field and uses artificial intelligence to understand important features, such as leaf size and fruit count. It can even detect diseases and weeds. Farmers can then use these insights to increase yields while reducing environmental impacts. |
