Wayanad Startup Launches AI Coffee Crop Platform
A company in Wayanad, India, has created a special tool called Canopy to help coffee farmers.
This tool uses satellites, computers, and local data to check on the coffee plants and predict problems.
It helps farmers take better care of their plants and make sure their coffee is good quality.
The tool is not expensive, so even small farmers can use it.
It also helps farmers show where their coffee comes from, which is important for selling it to other countries.
The tool was shown to important people at a big coffee event.
NeuBiom Labs launched 'Canopy', a Coffee Crop Intelligence platform for coffee growers.
Canopy uses satellite imagery, AI, and hyperlocal data to monitor crop health and predict risks.
The platform creates a 'Digital Twin' of each plantation for remote monitoring and optimization.
Canopy offers traceability to help Indian coffee meet global sustainability and origin norms.
The platform is priced at ₹2,999 per year, making it accessible to smallholder farmers.
