Summary
According to the FAO, up to 40% of food crops worldwide are lost annually due to pests and plant diseases, resulting in 1.3 bn tons/year of food wasted. At the same time, EU and country-specific regulations limit the amount of chemicals that farmers can use to fight crop diseases. Farmers lack the time and knowledge to make sure to comply with all rules and chose the best course of action. Thanks to EICA Agrivi will develop a brand new software, an AI-driven digital advisory tool that will be built on our proprietary algorithms, agricultural and CPP knowledge base and will guide farmers through the whole process: when to spray based on AI pest risk detection, which products to use, which rules must be respected, when is safe to harvest. A multidimensional impact is expected: improved productivity and food safety, less post harvest food waste, decreased usage of pesticides, improved soil health and biodiversity.
