🤩 There's a lot of talk about AI, but did you hear about Agroecological Intelligence!? In a deeply values-led system such as agroecology, there is a strong need to align the choice and use of things like agricultural inputs and technologies with that core set of values. 3 Questions are important to ask: 1️⃣ What problem is the tech trying to solve? 2️⃣ How does it impact farmer autonomy? 3️⃣ What kind of farming system does it support? Pat Thomas highlights, “We often talk about technology as a ‘tool in the toolbox’. Maybe it’s time to rethink that metaphor. As the early findings of our project demonstrate, agroecology isn’t just another tool, it is an entirely different toolbox.” 🤯 Is Rootical an AgTech venture studio? This publication by A Bigger Question hints at why we are not exclusively focused on building AgTech solutions. Thanks for sharing Brian Kyeyune from The Neycha Accelerator & Fund.

Agrisense - Plant Health Monitoring Application based on Multiclass Image Classification to Detect and Diagnose Diseases in Food Plants Github: https://lnkd.in/gZ5sdGNH   🌱 Overview of my Project: I would like to proudly share about our latest project, Agrisense. Agrisense is an innovative application designed to monitor plant health by utilizing multiclass image classification technology. The project aims to detect, diagnose, and provide solutions for diseases in tomato, cucumber, and potato plants. 💡 New Skill I Discovered: During the Agrisense project, I found myself involved in developing image classification models of tomato, cucumber, and potato plants using Computer Vision approaches. Understanding the basic concepts of Computer Vision brings interesting challenges, providing effective solutions for image classification, and creativity in designing technology. This expertise opens up opportunities to consider different approaches in Computer Vision, expanding the understanding of tools and techniques to solve complex visual challenges. 🤝 Memorable Moment with My Team: There is nothing more satisfying than collaborating with a dedicated and passionate team. One of the most memorable moments was when our team successfully completed the development phase of the EfficienNet model for the Agrisense project. Supporting each other, complementing each other, we jointly overcame obstacles and achieved important milestones in the project. This togetherness not only enriched the project, but also fostered strong relationships between us. 📑 A Sprinkle of Project Documentation: With Agrisense, we hope to make a positive contribution in increasing the productivity of tomato, cucumber, and potato crops. Thanks to the amazing Mindwave team and all who have supported this journey. Let's create innovative solutions for future agricultural challenges together! 🌾✨ I would like to sincerely thank Startup Campus, Kampus Merdeka, MSIB Kampus Merdeka and Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Tinggi, Riset dan Teknologi Kemdikbudristek for their cooperation throughout the project. Without their valuable support, this project would not have been such a tremendous success. We are grateful for the close collaboration and positive contributions that each party has made. May this project be the foundation for future collaborations that are more productive and bring sustainable benefits. Thank you very much. #AI #SCBatch5 #GrowatStartupCampus #DariMahirJadiKarier #learningjourney #finalproject

Miracles Do Exist. "from not ready = ready" We are no times, no experiences to prepare anything but we have only trust in our teams to push this chalenge within 1-2 weeks, it's all done. 10 July, 2023. I received a call from staff of the AgTech AI 2023 project. #Congratulation Teacher's #GATI Team has "very good score" in both sessions. "GATI has gone on" We are 1 of 15 teams qualified from 46 teams across the country and 1 of 3 teams in the central region that come to incubated in the university fence by expert teachers in each field. To win a free capital of 1.5 million baht to continue to be a complete startup in the future. At the end of this year, let's wait and see our new innovation for livestock in the AgTech AI Demo Day 2023 round at SCG Headquarters. #GATI #AgTech #Innovation #AI

Meet Hsin-Pei! Bridging Cognitive Neuroscience and Agriculture 🌾🧠 Dr. Hsin-Pei Lin combines complex neural processes with plant physiology. As a data scientist, Hsin-Pei’s primary task is to build a time-series forecasting model that learns the complex relationship among crop growth, indoor climate conditions, and harvestable amount of the crop at a given time. 🌍 Hsin-Pei plays a direct role in shaping the company's future, “As our technology progresses, I am currently also developing our computer vision module, which enables fine-grained crop growth information and thus improving forecast accuracy on the harvestable crop.” 🙌 What does Hsin-Pei enjoy about working at HarvestAi? “Our working atmosphere is great. As a deep tech start-up, we are always under pressure to develop our core technology while maintaining relationships with pilot partners and experimental collaborators. Even so, my dear colleagues always make it a fun and positive working environment by having each other’s backs and lots of cultural exchanges.”   🌿 Are you interested in crop growth and yield prediction and how it can benefit your greenhouse operations? Reach out to Hsin-Pei Lin or send us a message at [email protected]. Let's explore, how we can collaborate and revolutionize the future of indoor farming together! 🤝 We are currently raising our Seed round with Companisto.

Wrapping up a week with agtech entrepreneurs and investors, all working towards various versions of the future of agriculture. But the most inspiring (and unrelated) highlight of the week? FaceTiming with my niece who wanted to practice a presentation about her commercial heifer 4-H project. Her talk ranged from the genetics behind her heifers, to their EPD’s and why these heifers will make great mature cows, to learning how to use excel to calculate breakevens and profit margins. 🫶🏼 She’s 10 years old. The contrast between the conference and that FaceTime call was a striking reminder that tech fads come and go, and investment bubbles rise and fall. But the art, science, and business of agriculture endures. It was a reminder of how deeply I believe in the future of agriculture and why I’m bullish on animal protein. So I’m calling that a good week!

Microbiome #research has been revolutionizing our understanding of the complex microbial communities that inhabit our bodies and ecosystems. As scientists dive into this fascinating field, one tool stands out for its versatility and analytical prowess: R! #R, the popular open-source #programming language, has emerged as a go-to resource for analyzing microbiome #data. Its rich ecosystem of packages provides a diverse range of tools and techniques to uncover insights from complex microbial datasets. When it comes to #microbiome data analysis, R provides a myriad of packages tailored to specific tasks.
