How to feed 9.7bn people? Startups take on the global food problem
Roots Sustainable Agricultural Technologies, an Israeli startup, has developed a system to keep crop roots at optimum temperatures regardless of the weather. The system uses coils of water-filled pipes installed at depths of up to 7 meters to either heat or cool the soil around crop roots. The company claims increased yields of 10% for lettuces, 25% for strawberries, and 30% for basil, as well as energy savings of up to 80% compared to conventional heating systems. Roots SAT is seeking $4m in funding to expand its operations. The article also highlights other innovative solutions in the agriculture sector, such as FoPos efforts to turn discarded fruit and vegetables into powder to extend their shelf life, and Sensilizes remote sensing service for farmers. The article emphasizes the need for more investment in agricultural technology.

Drones - the future of precision agriculture
Israeli company Sensilize is launching a drone-mounted sensor and analytic software for precision agriculture. The company uses a micro-UAS platform with an integrated sensor called Robin-Eye to map fields and provide ultra-high-resolution multispectral images of vegetation. Sensilizes cloud-based Robin-Mind software analyzes these images and provides farmers with true color images and interpreted maps to enhance efficiency and maximize yield. Sensilize is currently in pilot trials through partnerships with big farming and research operations, and plans to introduce the final version of the system to the global market in June. The company also sees potential in the utilities industry for vegetation mapping. Sensilize is positioning itself as a leader in advanced vegetation mapping by providing and analyzing key data.
