Background
|
Precision Agriculture for Development, Inc. (PAD) is an US-based early stage global technology startup using rich data and smart algorithms to help smallholder farmers make better production decisions with customized information and services that increase productivity, profitability, and environmental sustainability. PAD is working on a new model for agricultural extension: reaching farmers with personalized agricultural advice through their mobile phones.
PAD is building an intelligent platform that provides individualized production recommendations based on theory and data, using machine learning and innovative measurement. Its vision is better livelihoods for the poor, drawn from a more productive, environmentally friendly landscape. The funders include Silicon Valley venture capitalists and technology entrepreneurs, and PAD believes that technological innovations create new scope and opportunities to address rural poverty and close the global food production gap. It aims to improve the lives of 100 million farmers in developing countries. To reach its goals, PAD will tap new technologies (like microsatellites, drones, smartphones, and machine vision), which have the promise to vastly improve the intelligence of its service and the quality of recommendations we provide to farmers. The founding team includes professors at Harvard and Brown Universities and experienced development professionals, who have decades of combined experience creating impact at scale in the developing world. PAD is well-funded and scaling. |
