What We Do

We chose to tackle the unique challenges faced by perennial crop farmers because these crops, unlike annual crops, require long-term investment and management, making them more vulnerable to climate variability and environmental stressors.

Our Mission

To empower perennial crop farmers with advanced AI-driven insights to overcome climate challenges and optimize their farming practices. We focus on crops such as fruit trees, olive trees, grapevines, coffee, and cacao, providing tailored solutions that enhance resilience, productivity, and sustainability. By addressing the unique needs of these long-term crops, we aim to ensure a stable and prosperous future for farmers and the communities they support.

“Lack of water— this will affect ALL farms, not just mine. Without water nobody can grow food.”

— Rachel, Farm Owner in California

“I think it’s the weather changing drastically overnight and leaving my farm with dead crops which will affect our yield.”

— Nokwazi, Farm Owner in South Africa

Where we are in the project and what we would like to achieve.

We are in the early stages of developing Thallo AI, focusing on building a user-centric platform for perennial crop farmers. We're conducting research to understand farmers' needs, collecting quality data, and developing personalized AI algorithms. Our aim is to create a simple, intuitive interface, offer advanced analytics, ensure data privacy, and build strong partnerships to enhance our offering and support sustainable farming practices.

Our milestones

  • Understand Farmers’ Needs
    Conduct surveys and interviews with perennial crop farmers to understand their pain points relating to climate change.

  • Collect Quality Data
    Partner with agricultural organizations for data. Use open-source data (FAO, USDA, satellite imagery). Gather real-time data from IoT devices on farms.

  • Develop Personalization Algorithms
    Create machine learning models for tailored recommendations. Continuously update models with new data.

  • Design User-Friendly Interface
    Build a simple, intuitive dashboard. Ensure mobile compatibility. Test usability with farmers and refine based on feedback.

  • Build Partnerships
    Collaborate with tech providers and agricultural experts. Engage with academic institutions for R&D support. Form alliances with industry groups.

  • Current Stage and Research Focus
    We are in the early stages of development. Currently conducting research to gain insights and further strengthen our offering.
