TRANSCRIPT
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 y ie ld . However we a re 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% o f wor ld 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.
PROBLEMFarmers need to produce more using less, being greener and more sustainable
Real time data collection
Online access Data analysis
SOLUTIONWe 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.
SOLUTIONSensors network
Agrosmart networkOnce 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.
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.

Data Logger - communication
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.
SOLUTIONAdvanced Smart
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.

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
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.

“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” Marcos N. , Corn farmer in Minas Gerais, Brazil
