Israeli Startup Raised $20 Million to Expand Precision-Spray Tech Greeneye Technology, an Israel-based precision agriculture tech company, raised $20 million. Deep Insight, an Israeli investment company, led the round with participation from existing investors Syngenta Group Ventures, JVP, Orbia Ventures, and Mellanox. Farmers increasingly face challenges with spraying chemical herbicides via conventional broadcast. Greeneye’s technology can detect and spray only those areas with weeds, rather than hitting crops or bare ground. Greeneye will use the funding to scale up its operations in the USA and introduce new features and capabilities to its system. “A big concern today for farmers is, they’re running out of tools to manage the weeds on the farm because of resistance,” explains Greeneye CEO Nadav Bocher. “Farmers are getting excited about this technology not only because of the savings but also because of the options it opens as far as weed control”. The total funding the startup raised is $45 million. Greeneye launched its technology in 2022. Source: https://lnkd.in/dWt2cCBq

The Krushi Sarathi patrons and followers have surely heard about the term ‘Group Farming’. Right, this term has translated into mere basic community #bonding, #planning, #collaboration and co-operation for a shared common goal- to raise the #agriculture bar and make it #progressive and #profitable at the same time. Krushi Sarathi re-introduced group farming within its several locations in #Buldhana and many farmers walked the mile together. Understanding its importance and benefits, farmers have formed groups, thus saving money, efforts and reaping larger gains. #Group_Farming #innovation #Evolution #change #climate_resilience #agtech #agrotech #startup #GoM
