We create crops that can communicate their needs
About us
InnerPlant gives plants a voice via technology that enables crops to communicate what they need. Our crops signal optically if they need more Nitrogen, are attacked by pathogens or insects. Our easy to collect signals can be picked up from field equipment and all the way up to satellites in space. InnerPlant is creating a new data source for the agriculture ecosystem. Enabling efficient cost effective monitoring of large scale crops like soybeans and corn and plant by plant management from field equipment. Driving up to 20% higher yields, while reducing inputs by over 30%. The future of farming is more efficient, more resilient, and more sustainable.

The disconnect between agriculture and consumers leaves room for misinformation to spread about topics like GMO crops. Keeping information short and sweet is key to bridging this gap, according to a survey from the University of Tennessee. https://lnkd.in/gviz8jVn

Pesticides are necessary in today’s agri-food system to protect crops from weeds, pests, and pathogens. A life cycle assessment revealed that removing chemical controls from farming could result in more GHG emissions to produce corn, cotton, and soybeans. https://lnkd.in/gwpcChQ8
