A group of former Israeli intelligence experts are in the midst of revolutionizing the fruit-tree farming industry around the world, utilizing their know-how, along with some of the most advanced agriculture technology (“agtech”) on the planet.

With the use of drones, satellite imagery, artificial intelligence and plain-old boots on the ground in countries such as the United States, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico and Greece, the Tel Aviv-based SeeTree company has been retained by some of the world’s biggest fruit-tree farmers in order to analyze and provide important in-depth information on each individual tree’s health and productivity.

SeeTree is getting set to celebrate its fourth year in business, collecting data and monitoring some 50 million trees for more than 30 farming customers … and counting.

Co-founder and CEO Israel Talpaz told JNS “when I retired from Israel’s intelligence community, I hooked up to agriculture with the goal of bringing the expertise, technologies and capabilities that I learned in the defense world to the world of agriculture.”

He added, “surprisingly, I saw similarities in the challenges agriculture has today with what happened in the defense community about 20 years ago. Both were analog, not digital, especially in the world of trees and permanent crops—crops that live for many years.”

Talpaz explained that “most technologies went to row crops—those that you replant every year—livestock and other areas, and I asked experts why that is. I was told that trees are very complicated; they are like people. Every tree varies from one another. Farming trees is complex because of the high level of variability.”

On the other hand, he said, “the value of a tree is very high because it lives for decades and produces fruit every year. A farm of trees is like a factory that has production units. Every tree is a production unit. It has [annual] inputs and outputs. And you would not imagine a factory today that is not digitized. What would you do with a million trees or 25 million trees, and the farmers don’t have the tools to manage these trees at all?”

‘We bring in data and teach machines how to analyze it’

Agtech  monitora saúde das árvores

SeeTree informa que  possui planos de expansão para outras culturas além do Citros, como eucalipto e café

A startup israelense SeeTree , especializada na digitalização e monitoramento individual de cada árvore das fazendas e que vem atuando no País nos últimos dois anos e meio, vem crescendo e cobrindo uma área substancial na cultura do Citros com os maiores produtores do País, como a Citrosuco. Diante deste crescimento, hoje já é líder de mercado no monitoramento de cultura permanente e planeja expandir a tecnologia para novas culturas, como eucalipto e café, nos próximos anos. Esse potencial foi percebido ainda em 2018, quando a gestora Mindset Venturescomeçou a investir na agritech e ajudou a expandir sua operação para o país. A SeeTree tem o objetivo de ajudar os produtores a monitorar a saúde das árvores, otimizar a produção de frutas, economizar água na irrigação, insumos agrícolas e cortar outros custos operacionais com base em informações estratégicas coletadas em campo. Utiliza drones e outros sensores para capturar imagens aéreas ultra detalhadas das fazendas de laranja, limão, mexericas e outras frutas do tipo. Com as imagens em mãos, cada árvore é digitalizada, analisada e apresentada por meio de inteligência artificial em uma plataforma acessível de qualquer computador ou dispositivo móvel, tornando-se possível avaliar tamanho, área e volume de cada uma delas, entre outras variáveis. "A SeeTree possui um time de experiências diversas nos campos da tecnologia, agricultura, operações, militares, aviação e negócio. Nós usamos toda essa experiência para criar uma combinação de inteligência artificial e inteligência humana que pudesse trazer um impacto positivo no agronegócio", afirma Denis Silveira, Country Manager da SeeTree no Brasil. "Estamos animados para continuar expandido nossas atividades no Brasil e adicionar novas culturas em nosso portfólio nos próximos anos". Daniel Ibri, sócio-fundador e CIO da Mindset Ventures, diz estar bastante confiante na performance da SeeTree. "Em 2018, resolvemos investir na empresa devido ao time experiente e à tecnologia avançada que atendia questões relevantes na agricultura. Mostramos a cultura de negócios local e a apresentamos a outros parceiros brasileiros e escritórios de advocacia que ajudaram a marca a se estabelecer no país em 2020. O Brasil é o maior produtor de laranjas do mundo e ainda há muito espaço para novas tecnologias no campo, por isso apostamos na empresa, que deve crescer ainda mais e se tornar um dos grandes players mundiais de agritech", destaca. O executivo explica que a Mindset Ventures também ofereceu apoio na contratação da equipe brasileira, participação no programa de aceleração do Consulado de Israel e Abvcap, consultoria para transferência de tecnologia e fechamento de contrato com vários clientes. Entre esses clientes estava a Citrosuco, um dos maiores produtores de laranja do mundo que acabou virando investidor, participando da rodada de US$ 30 milhões, liderada pelo IFC, braço do Banco Mundial, que a SeeTree realizou em dezembro. Uma parte considerável desse valor será destinada ao mercado brasileiro para aprimoramento da tecnologia e expansão da operação.

+ A SeeTree possui origem israelense e utiliza inteligência artificial e machine learning para identificar doenças e o estado de saúde de árvores com precisão individual, auxiliando produtores no controle de suas plantações. A tecnologia é embarcada em drones e sensores IoT que trabalham em conjunto para realizarem o diagnóstico das plantações. A empresa já opera em nível global e está presente também no Brasil, um de seus maiores mercados de atuação. // Fundada em 2016, a Mindset Ventures é uma gestora internacional de venture capital que conecta investidores renomados a empresas de tecnologia em estágio inicial localizadas nos Estados Unidos e Israel, principalmente aquelas com potencial de expansão para o Brasil. Em pouco mais de quatro anos, o Fundo já investiu em mais de 45 startups, principalmente dos segmentos de saúde, educação, fintech, agronegócio e segurança cibernética, das quais ao menos dez já atuam no País. A Mindset Ventures também recebeu prêmios em Israel nos anos de 2017 e 2018, na categoria de Fundos de Venture Capital mais ativos e reconhecimento pela Chambers, como um dos melhores fundos de Fintech de Israel.

SeeTree raised $11.5 million to optimize the farming sector

New Post has been published on https://www.blockinspect.com/uncategorized/seetree-raised-11-5-million-to-optimize-the-farming-sector/

SeeTree raised $11.5 million to optimize the farming sector

SeeTree announced recently that it raised $11.5 million Series A funding round led by Hanaco Ventures, with participation from previous investors Canaan Partners Israel, Uri Levine and his investor’s group, iAngel, and Mindset. This brings the company’s total funding to $15 million. SeeTree is a Tel Aviv based startup which uses drones and AI to bring precision agriculture to their groves. The company is headquartered at Brazil and California.

Talking about the objective of SeeTree, CEO Israel Talpaz says, “In the past two decades, since the concept was born, the application of it, as well as measuring techniques, has seen limited success — especially in the permanent-crop sector. They failed to reach the full potential of precision agriculture as it is meant to be.”

He argues that the existing solutions do not offer adequate data necessary to give permanent crop farmers the actionable recommendations they need to manage their groves.

He further added, “Traditionally, farmers made large-scale business decisions based on intuitions that would come from limited (and often unreliable) small-scale testing done by the naked eye. With SeeTree, farmers can now make critical decisions based on accurate and consistent small and large-scale data, connecting their actions to actual results in the field.”

SeeTree provides granular per-tree data based on the imagery gathered from drones and the company’s machine learning algorithms. These help farmers in decision making about replacement pf underperforming trees.

SeeTree raises $11.5M to help farmers manage their orchards

SeeTree, a Tel Aviv-based startup that uses drones and artificial intelligence to bring precision agriculture to their groves, today announced that it has raised an $11.5 million Series A funding round led by Hanaco Ventures, with participation from previous investors Canaan Partners Israel, Uri Levine and his investors group, iAngel and Mindset. This brings the company’s total funding to $15 million.

The idea behind the company, which also has offices in California and Brazil, is that in the past, drone-based precision agriculture hasn’t really lived up to its promise and didn’t work all that well for permanent crops like fruit trees. “In the past two decades, since the concept was born, the application of it, as well as measuring techniques, has seen limited success — especially in the permanent-crop sector,” said SeeTree CEO Israel Talpaz. “They failed to reach the full potential of precision agriculture as it is meant to be.”

He argues that the future of precision agriculture has to take a more holistic view of the entire farm. He also believes that past efforts didn’t quite offer the quality of data necessary to give permanent crop farmers the actionable recommendations they need to manage their groves.

SeeTree is obviously trying to tackle these issues and it does so by offering granular per-tree data based on the imagery gathered from drones and the company’s machine learning algorithms that then analyze this imagery. Using this data, farmers can then decide to replace trees that underperform, for example, or map out a plan to selectively harvest based on the size of a tree’s fruits and its development stages. They can then also correlate all of this data with their irrigation and fertilization infrastructure to determine the ROI of those efforts.

“Traditionally, farmers made large-scale business decisions based on intuitions that would come from limited (and often unreliable) small-scale testing done by the naked eye,” said Talpaz. “With SeeTree, farmers can now make critical decisions based on accurate and consistent small and large-scale data, connecting their actions to actual results in the field.”

SeeTree was founded by Talpaz, who like so many Israeli entrepreneurs previously worked for the country’s intelligence services, as well as Barak Hachamov (who you may remember from his early personalized news startup my6sense) and Guy Morgenstern, who has extensive experience as an R&D executive with a background in image processing and communications systems.
