Agriculture businesses are facing many growing challenges, including threats to food security, rising demand for produce, and the impact of climate change. More than ever, the industry needs to digitally transform and embrace solutions that make processes more predictable, traceable and sustainable.
A new agricultural revolution is underway. Leading global ‘agtech’ company, Cropin, has launched Cropin Cloud – a groundbreaking platform that enables the industry to embrace digital transformation and accelerate growth.
Cropin Cloud:
- Cropin Cloud combines technologies including AI, machine learning, data analytics, earth observation and weather intelligence with agronomy sciences; collects, aggregates and delivers real-time insights across the industry, from ‘farm to fork'; and makes it easier for the industry to overcome challenges by adopting digital transformation.
So far, Cropin has worked with over 250 business customers, digitized data from 30 million acres of farmland, and improved the livelihoods of over 7 million farmers.
Krishna Kumar, Cropin’s CEO, co-founded the company in 2010 – long before ‘agtech’ became a fashionable term. And 14 years later, he’s still as passionate about solving planet-sized agriculture problems.
Before founding Cropin, Krishna held leadership roles in General Electric, GE Appliances, GE Industrial and GE Energy. He also currently serves as a non-official member of the Indian government’s National Startup Advisory Council.
