Source.ag announces 30 million consumer milestone at Web Summit with game-changing AI for fruit and vegetable growers

Leave a comment


Source.ag focuses on the largest global fresh vegetable segments such as tomatoes and peppers, with the ambition to ultimately help all fruit and vegetable growers. Greenhouse agriculture is a proven solution to sustainable, local, and climate-resilient food production: it produces up to 15 times higher yields without the need for arable land and uses up to 20 times less water versus traditional farming methods.

Source.ag CEO and co-founder Rien Kamman will take to the Growth Summit track stage at Web Summit on the 16th of November to discuss how the company is cracking plant biology with AI, as well as its hypergrowth success in reaching such a large greenhouse grower base in only three years.

Kamman says: “The worldwide demand for greenhouse agriculture is on the rise, yet its expansion faces obstacles due to a lack of skilled growers and unprecedented economic and climate-related challenges. Since our founding three years ago we have been on a mission to empower growers with AI software to successfully start, run, and grow their farming businesses. The result is that growers are increasing access to sufficient fruit and vegetables for everyone, in a climate resilient and resource efficient way. We are thrilled that by partnering with more than 200 greenhouses globally we now empower the production of fresh vegetables for more than 30 million consumers. ”

Source.ag recently completed its Series A financing of $27M, bringing the total funding to $39M. The company is using the funds to bring further ground breaking products to market for growers globally. Source.ag will soon roll out Source Cultivate; by utilizing a digital twin of a greenhouse facility, Source Cultivate is able to simulate plant biology and predict expected resource usage and yield for all weeks of the season. This innovative technology will also be tailored to specific cultivars, allowing growers to make even better decisions to maximize their business results and crop yields.

A second product slated for release is Source Control, which enriches growers’ cultivation strategy by autonomously creating and executing an irrigation strategy by combining AI and weather forecasts with actual plant development data. Growers’ preferences for a particular cultivation method are taken into account by flexible implementation of the underlying models. A pilot that was conducted in the past 6 months in partnership with Rainbow Growers – focused on dry-down strategy without grower intervention – was marked with higher than average accuracy.

Source.ag’s CEO and co-founder Rien Kamman will appear live at Lisbon’s Web Summit on the Growth Summit track stage at 14:37 GMT November 16th.

About Source.ag: Source is accelerating access to fresh fruit and vegetables by empowering the world’s growers with AI. Founded in 2020 by Rien Kamman (CEO) and Ernst van Bruggen (CPO), Source.ag has brought together a team of experienced engineers and plant scientists and has partnered with the world’s leading growers to build the sector’s most advanced artificial intelligence. Its AI solutions have the capability to simulate plant behavior for defining and implementing optimal cultivation strategies, taking into account millions of data points on climate, biology, and resources. By enabling more growers to operate more facilities more efficiently through pioneering tech, Source is making greenhouse agriculture accessible, profitable and globally scalable. They’re on a mission to provide nutritious food to more people, using fewer resources.

Blueprint Surf wants you to try a Maine-made, 3D-printed Surfboard

Leave a comment


Maine-based Blueprint Surf launches Kickstarter campaign, which includes a chance to own one of the first commercially available, 3D-printed surfboards in the US.

PORTLAND, Maine, Nov. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — 2 years ago, surfboard blanks were hard to find. Was it from an international trade embargo? Were the Port of LA longshoremen on strike? Was a devious foreign government hiding 5G chips in our foam? Whatever the exact reason was, Mike and I wanted to make a couple boards and we were getting frustrated. I’ve used 3d-printing a lot in my career, so we decided to 3d-print our own blanks.

Our first attempt at 3d-printing a surfboard was absurdly bad, and never even made it into the water. Our second board lasted two waves before it filled with water, and the 3d-printed structure inside crumbled like a wet cookie. Board #3 though… was kinda good.

Since then, Mike and I both started working on Blueprint Surf full time. We bought our own 3D printer, which can make boards up to 6 feet long in a single piece. We got a ton of help from our local Portland community, the state of Maine, and from some of the amazing craftspeople in our chilly corner of the surf world. Without all that help, we never would have gotten this far. Now we need help from an even larger community: New England surfers. More on that later.

How far have we gotten? Basically, we spent all our money learning to make 3d-printed surfboards good enough that they’re not just a novelty. The way we see it, surfboards made from sustainable materials are only worthwhile if they provide years and years of fun sessions. Our boards aren’t collectibles, experiments, or wall art. First and foremost, they have to be really good at being surfboards. They’re tools that get strapped to the roof of a Subaru in the middle of January, or tossed in a truck and bounced to the beach. That’s why we didn’t bother making a video about how our surfboards will save the polar ice caps, clean up oil spills, and revive beached Right Whales. Actually, we ran out of budget before we made any good videos. You’ll have to trust us for now: our boards go great, and we are going to make surf videos as soon as we can afford it.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/luke-diehl/blueprint-surf-surfboards-shouldnt-hurt-the-environment

For that reason, we are running a Kickstarter campaign this holiday season. It’s the first time people can “buy” one of our boards- a mid-length twinnie called the “Sea Mink” we’ve been dialing in since the beginning. The goal of this Kickstarter campaign is to raise enough money that we can make a surf edit, make a big second batch of boards, and also add in one or two new models. We’re also super stoked to widen our circle of friends, and to meet more New England surfers who care about sustainability almost as much as they care about surfing. If you can afford to support our Kickstarter campaign in any amount, it would mean the world to us.

Beef Checkoff-Funded Educator Program Helps Cultivate New Generation of Informed Consumers

Leave a comment


“As much as I enjoy farming, my true passion is education,” Wood said. “I was a teacher for 32 years, working in pre-K and elementary classrooms. Every fall when I’d bring cornstalks with ears attached to my classroom for a door display, many students wanted to know how I ‘made that corn’ because it didn’t look like the corn that was a part of last Sunday’s dinner. I was able to explain the differences between field corn and sweet corn. However, in urban areas, teachers usually don’t have an agricultural background, which is why sharing the farming experience with them through programs like On The Farm is so important.”

The twelfth and most recent On The Farm in-person tour took place in June, when 29 teachers and school administrators representing 70,000 students traveled to Colorado for an event hosted by the Colorado Beef Council. Participants visited with experts from across the cattle industry to better understand how to integrate animal agriculture into their STEM classrooms back home.

Day One included learning about elements of cattle feed. Attendees also began developing their own lesson plans centered around the involvement of STEM in the beef cattle life cycle. On Day Two, attendees toured Colorado State University’s AgNext research facility to learn about methane measurement and how researchers observe and research cannulated cows.

In addition to the in-person tours, the program included two pre-tour webinars that led up to the multi-day, in-the-field, immersive experience, one post-tour webinar and a structured professional development community. Previous On The Farm STEM tours have taken place in Portland (OR), Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, Nashville, Minneapolis, Fort Worth, Philadelphia, Syracuse (NY), Kansas City and Boston, providing different agricultural perspectives from around the country.

“AFBFA’s efforts go beyond the On The Farm tours,” Wood said. “They work with teachers across the country to integrate Checkoff-funded elementary, middle and high school beef curriculums into their lesson plans in multiple ways, like offering free resources, virtual workshops and so much more.”

By offering these well-rounded, immersive programs, the Beef Checkoff is giving hundreds of educators the knowledge and tools to effectively introduce students to beef production and the care and commitment beef producers dedicate to their herds.

“Connecting agriculture with science helps these STEM educators foster a new generation of consumers who are better informed about beef and beef production,” Wood said. “That’s incredibly important in today’s world where so much misinformation about agriculture and beef production exists. As a producer and an educator, I want consumers to better understand agriculture’s remarkable impact on us all – and the Beef Checkoff is helping make that happen.”
