PlantVillage AI provides agricultural advice to smallholder farmers by combining multiple AI models, weather forecasts, and soil data.

PlantVillage AI is an initiative that leverages artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and satellite technology to assist smallholder farmers, primarily across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. It aims to help them adapt to climate change and combat pests and diseases that hinder profitability. The platform integrates various AI models and third-party datasets, including weather forecasts and soil data, to deliver specific agricultural advice. The system operates by having farmers input three critical details: crop type, location, and planting date. Based on this information, the PlantVillage engine's algorithms generate and send out advice through various channels such as smartphones, SMS, TV, or local social networks. PlantVillage also engages in projects like AI-powered carbon capture, research on crop threats, support for pastoralists, and an AI-driven diet habit tracking app.
