A new Revolution in Agriculture is required
By 2050 the global Agriculture industry needs to increase yields by 70% whilst at same time be carbon negative, be hyper resource-efficient, be resilient to climate extremes and be in harmony with and inspired by Nature.
A new revolution in Agriculture requires breakthroughs innovations across four key levers
Hyper-productive agriculture
Hyper-productivity with at least 10-20 times improvement of input productivity of global Agriculture requires predictive intelligence that can guide autonomous robots that can implement Per Plant spraying of crop protection and nutrition inputs at scale.
Net zero agriculture
Transition to a net-zero agriculture system requires a science-based approach that measures, monitors and verifies the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices and rates the risk of soil carbon sequestration.
Resilience to climate extremes
Resilience of the Agriculture System to increasing impact and frequency of weather extremes requires machine learning platforms that can measure risk at farm level and across the supply chain so that low cost operational & financial risk management and parametric insurance can scale worldwide.
Transition to Biologicals
The discovery of Next Generation biologicals (e.g.: new proteins) requires a deep understanding of the causal relationships between the biological functions at play at both the individual plant, its pests and its microbiome’s bacteria and fungal diversity to enable breakthrough yields.
Digital Twins to minimize use of agricultural inputs and productivity losses from individual plants to whole farms.
Digital Twins to discover and design new Proteins leveraging the vast Microbiome diversity of the Tropics.
