This is an AI-powered app that diagnoses plant diseases. Launched in 2015, the app has helped over 10 million farmers, most of whom live in India, grow their crops.
After uploading photos of a diseased plant to the app, the algorithm checks for diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and pests, and then sends the user treatment advice. Farmers and experts can then compare experiences and share useful information via an internal social network.
In April, the company acquired Zurich-based startup Salesbee, which greece number data created a platform for digitizing agricultural markets and hopes to use this tool to further expand in India and Southeast Asia.
Wefarm
Wefarm is a network and marketplace for smallholder farmers. Although the company is headquartered in London, the platform is primarily used in developing countries, where there are millions of smallholder farms that are not controlled by large agricultural corporations. Since its launch in 2015, the startup has grown to more than 2 million users, and more than 40,000 questions and answers are transmitted through the network every day.
The network can be used offline via SMS, enabling farmers living in more remote areas to share information and connect with local suppliers and services.
The company's purpose is to create a more ecological and better world.
