Who are Gardin?

Gardin combines remote optical plant phenotyping with machine learning to optimise yield, nutrition, and quality of food production.

The changing climate and growth in the global population is putting significant stress on our current methods of food production, exacerbating existing issues of topsoil erosion, chemical treatment, and water scarcity.

Gardin enables the food industry to tackle these issues through data-driven precision farming and creates positive outcomes for the climate by domesticating food production, quantifying supply chain carbon emissions, increasing resource efficiency and unlocking unproductive farmland to be repurposed as carbon sinks through nature-based climate solutions.
