Elevator Pitch

VIT Sensors develops smart sensing technology for real-time crop monitoring, helping farmers optimize irrigation, fertilization, and crop management through data-driven decisions.

Climate Problem

VIT Sensors addresses inefficient irrigation and fertilization driven by lack of real-time data and limited technical assistance—90% of farmers lack it. This is critical to meet FAO 2050 food demand, optimize 70% of freshwater used in agriculture, and bui

Solution

VIT Sensors uses in-field sensors and a digital platform to monitor soil and crop conditions in real time, turning data into actionable irrigation and fertilization recommendations that help farmers reduce input waste and improve productivity.
