Omdena
Australia
Omdena is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based digital initiative to improve crop yield, pest and disease control, and food safety. It helps farmers in 1) Improving Crop Yields: uses AI tools to analyze weather, soil, and crop data to help farmers make better decisions about planting, irrigation, and fertilization, leading to higher crop yields and reduced costs 2) Reducing Pests and Diseases: AI models help farmers detect pests and diseases early on, allowing them to take steps to control them before significant damage occurs. This improves crop quality and reduces the need for pesticides and herbicides 3) Improving Food Safety: uses AI models to monitor food production and processing for potential hazards, such as contamination, helping to improve food safety and reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
