Bringing digital agriculture for climate resilience in developing countries

Bringing digital agriculture for climate resilience in developing countries

Agrosmart brings digital agriculture to developing countries under tropical agronomic conditions to build a more climate-resilient agriculture.

Long Description

Agrosmart brings digital agriculture to developing countries with low Internet infrastructure under tropical agronomic conditions, allowing farmers to make better decisions for a more productive and sustainable agriculture.

We monitor crops installing different sensors in the fields measuring up to 14 environmental conditions locally to identify the crops microclimate and real-time needs. We combine that with satellite imaging and weather forecast to help farmers make better operational decisions.

Our first market was irrigation since we identified we could cause an immediate impact financially and environmentally. That is because Agrosmart decision in irrigation considers a broader analysis, not only considering how much water the plant lost, but also how much of this water demand was fulfilled with rain in that plot and how much water is still available in the soil.

With the correct understanding of the water needs, Agrosmart tailor the recommendations to fit the farmer equipment capacity and the energy discounted rate, giving him the way to maximize the crop potential within his operational limitations.

With that, farmers can save up to 60% of water, 40% of energy and increase yields in up to 20%. The return can be noticed already in the first season.

Agrosmart is the first company to break connectivity barriers in Brazil and bring together profound agronomic knowledge for tropical agriculture. We combine tech skills in hardware and software to make in-field real time data collection and deliver insights in a very simple interface.
