CropRising

Current food production chain is not sustainable. 70 % of the world's water is used for agriculture, and 30 % of the arable land has been lost due to unsustainable farming practices. In 2050 the world's population will reach about 10 billion where 68% will live in urban areas. To meet such food demand traditional farming needs to reinvent itself and use technology to make food production sustainable.

Vertical farms are a relatively new technology where problems derived from energy efficiency and operating costs drive many of these businesses to be unprofitable.

CropsRising aims to collect data insights from different in-built sensors that will provide farmers with better track of their crops i.e. monitoring the growth and biomass of their plants at optimal levels.
