Developing a smart, AI-powered solution for crop protection to combat pesticide resistance.
Pesticide resistance is a significant concern for farmers, leading to reduced crop yields and economic losses. An innovative startup could create a smart system that uses AI and advanced sensors to detect and manage pests in real-time, minimizing the need for harmful chemicals. This solution would not only address the frustration of farmers but also promote sustainable agriculture. Market size: The global crop protection market was valued at $74.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $96.6 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 5.4%.
