Cropin Technology launches Sage, the world's first real-time agri-intelligence solution powered by Google Gemini, transforming global food systems.
Bengaluru-headquartered Cropin Technology, an AI Platform for food and agriculture, has announced the launch of Sage, which the company claims is the world’s first real-time agri-intelligence solution powered by Google Gemini.
Cropin Sage converts the world’s agricultural landscape into a proprietary grid-based map with options of 3x3 metres, 10x10 metres, or 5x5 kilometres, delivering data and intelligence.
According to the company, this enables CPG players, seed manufacturers, food processors, multilateral organisations, financial institutions and governments to make informed decisions based on historical, present, and future data on cultivation practices, crop, irrigation, climate, and soil. Sage enables the Cropin Cloud platform to help agri-food businesses future-proof their production and supply chains, says the company.
Sage has been designed by combining technologies such as Generative AI, multi-layered global climate data, a global crop knowledge graph, earth observation data and advanced crop models.
On top of analysing historical data on agriculture, crops, and weather patterns, Sage also helps to forecast future yields with the help of AI tools. This translates to pinpointing the ideal locations and favourable conditions for growing crops on a global map, helping to build a robust and resilient food system, according to a release from the company.
It would provide intelligence on 13 key crops, including wheat, rice, potato, and maize, which collectively cover almost 80% of the world’s food demand. Cropin plans to build and deploy Sage globally in a phased approach, aligned with enterprise customer requirements and demand.
Agriculture and food systems often lack robust digital infrastructure. Traditionally, players haven’t had access to the kind of agri-intelligence needed to make informed decisions.
