David Carter Co-founder of Deep Planet
Deep Planet is a forward-thinking AgriTech company founded in 2018 by a group of scientists and engineers at Oxford University. The company’s mission is to leverage the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to address pressing environmental challenges. With over 15 years of collective experience in founding and scaling deep technology ventures, Deep Planet’s team is committed to creating innovative AI-driven solutions that promote sustainability.
A Vision for a Greener Future
The Deep Planet was established with a clear vision to mitigate environmental risks while advancing sustainable practices in agriculture. The cutting-edge AI tools are designed to optimise the processes of viticulture and agricultural operations, enabling farmers and producers to manage their resources more efficiently. By blending data science, satellite imagery, and environmental monitoring, the Deep Planet empowers agricultural businesses to make data-driven decisions that protect both their crops and the environment.
VineSignal: A Game-Changing Tool for Viticulture
At the heart of Deep Planet’s AI solutions is VineSignal, an intelligent platform specifically tailored to the wine industry. This tool provides comprehensive insights into vineyard management, allowing growers to optimise their operations with precision. VineSignal offers several benefits.
- Optimal Harvest Timing: Using advanced machine learning algorithms, VineSignal accurately predicts grape maturity, helping farmers harvest grapes at their peak ripeness, ensuring top-quality wine production.
- Yield Forecasting: The platform enables accurate yield predictions, facilitating better planning and resource management. This helps wineries minimise waste, reduce costs, and improve profitability.
- Proactive Disease Management: By analysing real-time data from vineyards, VineSignal detects early signs of diseases and pests, allowing growers to take swift action and prevent crop loss.
- Precision Fertilisation: VineSignal optimises the delivery of nutrients to the soil, ensuring that vines receive the correct amount of fertiliser. This enhances soil health and reduces waste, thereby contributing to more sustainable farming practices.
- Enhanced Soil Carbon Sequestration: One of the standout features of VineSignal is its focus on soil health, promoting practices that enhance soil carbon sequestration. This not only improves vineyard productivity, but also contributes to carbon capture, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
- Smart Irrigation: With intelligent water management features, VineSignal helps growers conserve water while ensuring that their vines remain healthy. This is especially important in regions prone to water scarcity, which allows farmers to achieve sustainable yields without compromising the environment.
A Broader Vision: Beyond Vineyards
In addition to VineSignal, Deep Planet is developing AI tools for a range of agricultural sectors. Their focus is on harnessing the power of data to enable more efficient supply chains, soil health monitoring, and sustainable farming practices. By collaborating with partners around the world, Deep Planet aims to build a future in which AI is integral to addressing environmental challenges in agriculture.
Seeking Partners for a Sustainable Future
The Deep Planet is actively seeking partners who share their vision of sustainability and are committed to making a positive impact on the environment. Whether through collaboration with wineries or other agricultural sectors, the company is dedicated to creating a more sustainable future.
