1) What is your idea?

“CropHound uses remote soil, climate and inplant sensors to monitor crops in real time giving the farmers and growers insights into the condition of their crops while using AI to give them predictions on yield, disease, drought, pest and quality potential.”

2) Where can we find your products?

“You can find our products online. Visit our website here www.crophound.com”

3) How has EIT Food helped you on your journey?

“EIT has been invaluable in our journey as we introduce our new potato moisture sensor. It has given us the opportunity to speak with a wide variety of farmers and associated industries in the potato world all over Europe. We would not have been able to do this without EIT food. The feedback has been instrumental in our decision-making process going forward.”
