Maximizing yield from limited land is vital to sustainable agriculture and continuing to feed the world. This is especially true for large-scale plantations covering millions of hectares of land, where customized tree-level interventions are not scalable without remote sensing artificial intelligence (AI).

Vulcan AI has developed and deployed an AI-based solution that leverages multi-spectral satellite imagery to accurately determine every single tree over large areas, the health of each tree and targeted actions to enable optimal yield. This helps in ensuringnthat yield is maximized and also that input use, such as fertilizer is optimized for sustainable growth.

Join our experts from Vulcan AI to learn about the latest innovations in AI combined with agronomy-based validation, and how Vulcan AI's solution is used in crops, paper and pulp and urban forestry to drive timely insights to clients.
