CultYvate
India
Developed by Farms2Fork Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (F2F), Cultyvate is an Internet of Things (IoT) and remote sensing-based precision analytics platform for farmers. It offers a full-stack digitization solution including hardware & software for Irrigation, Fertigation, and Polyhouse Automation. The system uses IoT sensors in the soil, IoT weather stations on the ground, and satellite-based remote sensing to collect data. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms analyze this data to provide crop, soil, and climate-specific advisories for irrigation and fertigation management. The solution can either send advisories to farmers via mobile phones or operate systems automatically.
