Digit Soil is a team of experts in soil science, biotechnology, agronomy, and software engineering that aims to revolutionize agriculture and regenerate soils. We believe that farmers need accurate and directly interpretable information to farm sustainably, starting with an indication of the optimal amount, type, and timing of fertilizer application to improve their efficiency and foster the use of organic fertilizer.
At Digit Soil, we have developed a technology that provides farmers with the information they need to optimize the use of both synthetic and organic fertilizers. Our device measures soil enzymatic activity, the biochemical process responsible for releasing nutrients to plants in the soil. By combining this data with current agronomic models and deep-learning approaches, we can provide farmers with the optimal timing, amount, and composition of fertilizer to increase nutrient uptake by crops, leading to a more sustainable and productive farming system.
