The demand for healthier food and the fear of food shortages have had farmers scrambling for answers for years. Vertical farming has emerged as a solution, but its not scalable enough to feed a growing global population. Thus, farmers have had to rely on chemicals – until now. Innovative minds at Biome Makers have come up with a better solution, utilizing AI to understand the biological makeup of the soil, how microbes are interconnected, and how farmers can leverage this knowledge to grow via biological improvements vs chemical treatments.
In this episode, I sit with Adrian Ferrero (Co-Founder and CEO of Biome Makers). We discuss his team’s transition from Spain to the US, applying AI to soil analysis, supporting farmers’ efforts to produce quality food at scale, methods of delivering insights to farmers, organizing data needed to train AI models, and much more.
