Founded in 2020, Source.ag has brought together a team of experienced engineers and plant scientists and has partnered with the world’s leading growers to build the sector’s most advanced AI. Its solutions can simulate plant behaviour for defining and implementing optimal cultivation strategies, taking into account millions of data points on climate, biology, and resources. By enabling more growers to operate more facilities more efficiently through pioneering tech, Source.ag is making covered greenhouse agriculture accessible, profitable, and globally scalable.
Source.ag uses AI to decode plant biology and empower growers to succeed. The company takes a hybrid approach, combining plant and data science, to analyse the underlying biology and processes behind plant behaviour. In contrast to so-called ‘black box’ models, the approach at Source.ag brings transparency and robustness, and requires less data to get started.
Source.ag’s clients include Agro Care, Thanet Earth, The Green House Growers, Grupa Mularski, Le Jardin de Rabelais, and other leading growers worldwide. Globally, more than 300+ commercial greenhouses in 16 countries use Source.ag’s solutions.
