This dynamic journey epitomize my commitment to innovation and transformative product development.------Yield Systems aims to have a significant sustainable impact on the global food system by creating cost efficient AI capabilities for plant breeding and speeding up the development of crop yields and adaptation to climate change.Yield Systems developed an AI-powered observation instrument that, paired with machine learning, can get high accuracy estimates of canopy-level traits. This laboratory-like information from field conditions is then turned into rich data and understanding about characteristics, unobservable with competing technologies. This high-relevance data is the key for delivering for the improved varieties for the changing conditions and for reaching the extremely ambitious efficiency improvement goals.As the human population grows, it’s estimated that by 2050, the demand for food will exceed supply by as much as sixty per cent. The quantities of agronomic inputs; land, fresh water and fertilisers cannot be increased proportionally, so further improvements in efficiency are needed. Climate change will cause significant challenges, which need to be covered to maintain food security.
