Transforming Agriculture with Plant Sensors

Interplant, led by CEO Shelley Aranov, is revolutionizing agriculture by turning plants into living sensors. With plants that can communicate their specific needs, farmers can optimize resource usage, reduce losses to pests and diseases, and improve yields. By detecting early signs of stress, such as fungal pressure or nitrogen deficiency, Interplant's technology enables targeted interventions, eliminating the need for unnecessary chemicals. The goal is to embed this technology in the seeds farmers already buy, providing them with actionable data and seamless integration into existing farming practices. The impact could be massive, increasing food production without expanding agricultural land, reducing environmental harm, and ensuring a more sustainable future.
