🎙️ This week on #Croptastic 🌾 Trey Malone of Purdue University joined InnerPlant CEO Shely Aronov for a deep dive into all things #agribusiness economics, the triple helix of innovation, industry consolidation, and more. No topic was off-limits as the two Ag leaders explored what often goes unsaid, including: How do we bridge the gap between consumer understanding of our food supply chain and the realities of modern farming? And importantly, if innovation at the farmgate is how agriculture moves forward — are startups innovating enough? 🎧 Listen here on Youtube, Apple, & Spotify → https://lnkd.in/gGYATx9M + https://lnkd.in/gCW74RSX #SeedingtheFuture #AgTech #FutureofFarming

We create crops that can communicate their needs
About us
InnerPlant gives plants a voice via technology that enables crops to communicate what they need. Our crops signal optically if they need more Nitrogen, are attacked by pathogens or insects. Our easy to collect signals can be picked up from field equipment and all the way up to satellites in space. InnerPlant is creating a new data source for the agriculture ecosystem. Enabling efficient cost effective monitoring of large scale crops like soybeans and corn and plant by plant management from field equipment. Driving up to 20% higher yields, while reducing inputs by over 30%. The future of farming is more efficient, more resilient, and more sustainable.

The Midwest countryside has quickly become my home away from home. I’ve been on the road a lot meeting with partners and farmers, and the excitement and positive feedback for InnerPlant have made for a productive and rewarding summer. With harvest underway and the end of the crop year in sight, I’m looking forward to the launch of CropVoice in 2025. Stay tuned—exciting announcements are coming soon! A big thanks to my colleagues and early customers for making it all possible. https://lnkd.in/ggf2_k7A
