Our Mission
To develop and deploy cutting-edge solar drone technology to detect and prevent soil-borne diseases, empowering farmers with sustainable and efficient solutions for healthier crops.
Our Vision
Build a sustainable future by tackling soil-borne diseases with precision and efficiency, empowering farmers to ensure global food security.
Problem
Soil-borne crop diseases are a major threat to global food security, causing significant crop yield losses of 10-15% and even up to 50% in some regions.
$10 billion USD
Is lost annually due to preventable soil-borne disease
10%-15%
of all crops worldwide are lost annually due to soil-borne diseases
Up to 40%
​
of vegetable and fruit crops in Europe are lost each year due to soil diseases
Solution
Meet Terra, the world’s first solar drone. Equipped with advanced AI and computer vision capabilities, specifically tailored to detect and combat soil-borne diseases, providing an innovative solution for farmers to improve crop yield and quality.
The Terra App
By connecting with our drones, the app can display real-time data to help detect soil-borne diseases and prevent crop damage.
Solar Panels
The Terra solar drone provides extended flight time and advanced imaging boost crop yield and sustainability.
Navigation
Our solar drones with AI-optimized flight routes for precise crop management automatically attend to underperforming plants.
How it works
Flexible Solar Panels
RGB Cameras
Step 1: Sensor data collection
Drones equipped with high-tech sensors and cameras are flown over farmland to capture detailed images and data on soil moisture levels, nutrient content, and pH levels, among other key factors affecting soil quality.
Step 2: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis
The data collected by the drones is analyzed using GIS to map and analyze soil characteristics, such as pH levels, organic matter content, and nutrient distribution, which can help identify areas of potential contamination.
Hyperspectral Sensors
Step 3: Computer vision analysis
Computer vision algorithms are used to analyze drone-captured images to detect changes in plant health, which can indicate the presence of soil-borne pathogens.
Step 4: Durability and Design
Solar panels are used to power the drones, reducing their reliance on non-renewable energy sources and enabling longer flight times and more extensive data collection.
About Terra
Terra drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and sensors can revolutionize the way farmers and researchers approach agriculture. With the ability to collect detailed data on soil-borne illness biomarkers such as soil moisture, nutrient levels. Makes Terra a powerful tool for identifying areas of soil contamination and taking preventative actions.
