2. 01.
Food production
In order to feed 9bi people in
2050 there is a need to
increase food production in
70%. From this increase 90%
is expected to come from
yield increase by the use of
technology in the fields.
02.
Water shortage
Irrigation is seen as one of
the main tools to increase
yield. However we are
suffering from droughts in the
main agriculture poles .
Around 70% of world fresh
water is used in irrigation and
about half of it is wasted.
03.
Climate Change
Climate is changing and it is
affecting our ability to produce
food. Reducing yields and
geographically redistributing the
crops. Farmers rely on research
and institutions to learn what
they have to do in the fields, but
with the conditions changing, it
is necessary to learn and act in
a faster pace.
04.
Land Usage
Around 70% of world
population will live in cities.
The pressure on land
usage increases due to the
fact that 33% of the soil is
degraded and the arable
land is expected to increase
only 5% by 2050, mainly in
Latam and Africa.
PROBLEM
Farmers need to produce more using less, being greener and more sustainable
3. Real time data
collection
Online access Data analysis
SOLUTION
We connect farmers to their crops
Agrosmart monitors crops installing different sensors in the fields
measuring up to 14 environmental conditions locally to identify the
crops microclimate and real time needs. We combine that with
satellite imaging and weather forecast to help farmers make better
operational decisions. They can access an online dashboard from
wherever they are in any device and check what is going on in the
farm, what should be done in each plot and can learn based on the
crop history.
4. SOLUTION
Sensors network
Agrosmart network
Once the farm has the Agrosmart
network data logger they can
plug available service plans
including different sensors and
have access to the online
dashboard and
recommendations
Since Brazil has large crop areas with poor infrastructure with no cellphone/Internet coverage in the fields, we had to develop our own electronic
to read different kind of sensors and have a larger communication range. Agrosmart is the first company to break connectivity barrier in Brazil.
Each plot has one Agrosmart module with different sensors. We use a mesh network where one module talk to the other using radio frequency
that can reach up to 14km, until they reach our data logger that is positioned in an unique point of the farm where is required to have a signal that
can be GSM/Farm own Internet in the office or satellite. With the data arriving every 15min we run the algorithms to make the recommendations.
5. We listen to what your crop is saying
Plots are different within a farm and have different needs. We
collect real time data in each of the plots to be able to provide them
with exactly they need at each moment of the season.

We combine different methods, evaluating climate, soil, crop
health and development, to identify what is the the exact
amount of water needed by the crop.

6. Farmers can check in a very simple interface all of their fields, and check
what needs to be done in each plot. The irrigation recommendation is
shown as an alert in the card. We provide the optimal recommendation
balancing the crop water demand and operational restrictions such as
irrigation equipment, operational capacity/legislation and energy restriction.
All fields in one place
The farmer can enter each field to analyze better its situation,
how much it has rained, how is the soil, he can add activities to
that plot such as seeding, changing phenological states,
harvesting and the most important he can visually see how is
that plot responding to the water demand and irrigation.

7. Agrosmart run more precise weather forecast for the next 72 hours,
as well as meteorological reports. We center our grid only where we
have customers and run smaller grids that are calibrated by the
local weather stations, predicting the weather in the farm with more
accuracy.
Weather Forecast
We use satellite imaging to have the x-ray of the farm
to analyze crop health, water stress and evaluate
equipment performance.
Satellite imaging
8. The farmer can directly access himself all the raw data
from the sensors, choosing between each plot, data
range and download it as an excel or cvs file, so he is
able to keep his data or integrate it in any other system
he wishes.
Access to all historical data

“Agrosmart was the first application I was actually able to use, it doesn't require me to input a lot of data and everyone in the
farm understands it. After one season I stopped leaving my neighbors without water when I turned on irrigation and reduced a
drastic amount of water. It also increased my yield in 10 bags per hectare”
