Preserving Biodiversity

On the occasion of Biodiversity Day, the UN draws attention to the dramatic decline in the diversity of species and ecosystems. The agricultural sector is partly responsible for these devastating effects due to the amount of pesticides and herbicides that it uses on the fields.

As a possible solution, we are inspired by the focus of our latest investment: ESCARDA Technologies, which is working on a herbicide-free weed control method that uses innovative laser technology and artificial intelligence. A camera system identifies weed plants, which are accurately burned by a laser beam. www.escarda.eu
