Introduction To harness artificial intelligence and advanced agricultural technologies to replace harmful chemical pesticides with precise, autonomous crop protection solutions—promoting sustainable farming, food safety, and environmental health globally.
Start date
Status Ongoing
Beneficiaries

Large-scale commercial farms, tea and coffee plantations, seed production companies, premium producers, and smallholder/marginal farmers worldwide.

Activities
  • Develop and deploy AI-powered systems for real-time, autonomous pest detection and management (SmartRavager™, BraveHawk®, eBionic®, PathoShield AG, PathoEraser AG, and others).
  • Integrate AI-driven tools into existing farm operations to enhance decision-making, reduce chemical use, and optimize inputs.
  • Continuously innovate in pest control and plant health monitoring through AI, robotics, and biosensors.
Impact
  • Environmental: Dramatic reduction in pesticide runoff improves soil health, protects biodiversity, and ensures cleaner air and water.
  • Economic: Lower input costs and reduced crop losses improve farm profitability, enhance food security, and reduce rural poverty.
  • Health: Safer food and farming environments benefit farmers, workers, and consumers alike by reducing exposure to toxic substances.
  • Global Reach: Technology tailored to diverse scales—from luxury producers to smallholders—amplifies sustainability across supply chains.
