As the world population continues to grow, much more effort and innovation will be urgently needed in order to sustainably increase agricultural production, improve the global supply chain, decrease food losses and waste, and ensure that all who are suffering from hunger and malnutrition have access to nutritious food. In India, agriculture is the major provider of livelihood to the poor, especially in rural areas. However, the agricultural sector is facing big challenges like the declining size of landholdings, deteriorating natural resources (especially soil and water), rising input costs, fluctuating markets, and declining farm income.
EkoSight is an agritech company. Our vision is to make soil testing highly accurate, accessible, affordable, and sustainable. By doing so, we shall help farmers increase their crop yield, reduce the cost of fertilizers, increase their profit margin, avoid soil solution and crop poisoning due to over fertilizers.
