Precision Agriculture

Future of Agriculture I

Kök Projekt

We’re Working For the Future of Food

Kök Projekt is an agri-food startup accelerator

and an innovation partner for the food,

agriculture and water sector companies.

We work together with companies, NGO’s and

governmental organizations to establish

interfaces for entrepreneurs to reach beyond

their potential.


We Work Through The Food Value Chain


Precision Agriculture Sector Snapshot- The need to increase output comes with an increasing global population. This has become

another obstacle for farmers who need to find ways of producing yields at a higher rate to

meet demand.

- Agricultural technologies come to the fore to obtain more outputs with fewer inputs. One of

them is precision agriculture practices.

- Precision agriculture (PA) or precision farming is a new farming management term that uses

digital techniques to track and optimize processes of agricultural production.

- According to McKinsey's article, two technological trends are shaping precision agriculture.

The first one is big data and advanced analytics capabilities. The second one is robotics, such

as aerial imagery, sensors, sophisticated local weather forecasts.


Benefitsof Precision Agriculture


Benefits of Precision Agriculture


All environmental factors-soil, weather, water-

vary from place to place. Precision agriculture

measures variations in conditions within a field

and adapt strategies accordingly. It helps in

several areas such as soil management, crop

management, seasonal and weather effects.

Precision Agriculture offers several advantages.

- Sustainability

- Productivity

Producing more with less

Producing More with Less


Sustainability- Precision Agriculture is about the precise control of differences in the

field to grow more food using fewer resources.

- Farmers spend lots of money on fertilizers, pesticides, water, seed, and

more. It is imperative not to do overdoing or underdoing when it comes

to fertilizers, pesticides, or irrigation, which may harm the environment

and scarce resources.

- Instead of spreading the same quantity of fertilizer over a whole

agricultural area or feeding a large cattle population with equal amounts

of feed, precision agriculture can calculate differences in conditions in a

farm and adjust its fertilization or feeding strategy.


- Precision agriculture applications promise to increase agricultural

output quantity and quality while using less input such as water,

pesticides, energy, fertilizers. The goal is not only to reduce the

impact on the environment but also to save costs.

- Among the precision agriculture methods, there is the use of

sensors technologies to monitor the soil and plant growth. By the

data obtained by sensors, optimal conditions for plant growth can

be achieved.

- Precision agriculture allows collecting real-time data that provide

better information for sale and succession.

- It also helps to reduce costs by reducing the use of fertilizers and

pesticides.

CropX


The Age of Data-Driven Farming

- CropX is a US-based agriculture analytics company. The company helps to optimize input

applications leading to significant water, fertilizer, energy, and labor savings.

- The company aims to make farming sustainable again by using technology. According to

CropX, if we want sustainable agriculture, we must start taking care of soils.

- To get the data, they put sensors on the field. Then raw information is collected by the

Sensors and transmitted to the CropX cloud, where it is analyzed by their software and

made available via mobile application and website.

- CropX offers several features. Adaptive Variable-Rate Irrigation Management and

Automation can help figure out how much to irrigate the field. Another feature is crop

specific management, which can predict the crop’s needs and expected growth.

Naio Tech


Autonomous Robots for Easier Farming

- Founded in France in 2011, Naio Technologies develops and markets robots for agriculture

and viticulture. They also have a range of electric tools for weeding, hoeing, and harvesting

to help farmers.

- Naoi Technologies robots and machines are dedicated to healthy and productive agriculture

in full respect to the environment. The company aims to offer practical and durable solutions

to agricultural issues while reducing workload with autonomous tools for vegetable farmers

and winegrowers.

- The company has several agriculture types of equipment such as Weeding Robot, Vineyard

Robot, and Vegetable Robot.

Kray Tech


The Drone That Can Do More

- Founded in 2015, Kray Technologies Works on aviation and aerospace.

- Kray Technologies created the world's first digital - and fully autonomous - drone crop-

sprayer that replaces aerial and ground sprayers.

- This solution helps to cut down costs for farmers. Drone requires less fuel, less

maintenance, and less staff compared to current alternative methods.

- Kray Technologies' drone has self-driving with computer vision and can process up to 1200

acres per day.
