🌱 Modern automation tools made accessible to every farmer

[Water Mark 🚰 @OtayMark]

Irrigation tech startup Verdi @IrrigationAI raises $4.7M to help farmers monitor and control water flow

The Vancouver, B.C., company is building devices that integrate with existing irrigation systems, allowing farmers to monitor watering and remotely control valves to turn the flow of water off and on.

“We’re adding a layer of intelligence to what is already there.��

On a weekend camping trip, the @IrrigationAI team drove 16 hours from Vancouver to Nelson 🇨🇦. Thanks to the @Starlink Mini, we had uninterrupted high-speed internet the entire way, allowing us to work on laptops and take calls in the middle of the mountains with zero cellular connectivity. 🌲📡🚀

Setup was a breeze—we unboxed and had it up and running in 10 minutes, with the antenna positioned through the sunroof.

Congrats to @elonmusk and team - this is a game changer for roadtrips!

Co-founder and CTO @RomanAKozak will be on the panel to discuss how farmers in 2050 will need a very different skill set than those who came before them. As automation and other advances in tech transform agriculture, growers will need robust digital skills.

our ancestors must be very confused that their offspring left farming behind in Asia but somehow picked it back up again on the other side of the world in a very different capacity
