What we are looking for

We are looking for technologies that can be incorporated into seed balls in the areas of:
• Adapting Seeds by improving their germination rates
• Technologies to monitor and evaluate the growth of the seed and gives feedback and insight on the decision mechanism for farmers
• Mapping system that will identify and characterize agriculture land and its possible uses

Solution criteria

Maximum germination rates
Adaptive seeds to saline soil
Relevant technologies that could be used (AI, GIS, Drones...) or any another relevant technology
Easy to operate
