InnerPlant Technology Aims to Reduce Agricultural Waste #

A California-based startup called InnerPlant has developed technology that allows plants to communicate with farmers. By using genetic engineering, InnerPlant’s technology enables plants to emit signals when they are in distress. This signal can be detected by devices attached to satellites, drones, or tractors, providing valuable information to farmers. By understanding which areas of the field require treatment, farmers can avoid over-application of chemicals, saving money and reducing waste. The scalable nature of InnerPlant’s technology makes it attractive for licensing to major seed companies. This could generate significant royalty revenue for InnerPlant and help reduce agricultural waste on a large scale.
