Mary Loritz for EU Startups:  Research from the UN shows that 821 million people in the world are currently undernourished, a figure that is expected to rise along with population. With land and soil becoming increasingly scarce, and climate change expected to dramatically affect crop yields, how will we feed the projected global population of 11.2 billion people in 2100?

In recent years, startups have emerged providing some incredible innovations in the agricultural industry, with new technologies to make farms more productive, efficient, and sustainable, and to help small farmers increase their yields and incomes.

Among other applications, startups are introducing technology to monitor crops using drones and sensors, manage farm activities and logistics from platforms and apps, use robots to perform farm maintenance, grow food hydroponically on a mass scale, monitor the health of livestock using AI, and provide invaluable data to help millions of small scale farmers – many of whom don’t even have access to a smartphone.

Here are 10 promising agtech startups that are innovating for the next green revolution to feed the globe sustainably:  Full Article:

Cree LED's J Series® family offers a comprehensive portfolio of mid-power and high-power LEDs engineered specifically for horticulture lighting. The lineup includes high-efficacy 2835, 3030 and 5050 platforms designed to maximize photon output, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability in demanding grow environments. Photophyll™ Select options in the JB3030C and 2835 platforms deliver industry-leading efficiency with excellent sulfur resistance and footprint compatibility with 301B/H devices - making design-in seamless for horticulture luminaires. The 2835 N-Class color portfolio adds even greater flexibility with 15 high-efficacy spectral options that support precise spectrum tuning. For high-power applications, the JR5050C provides the industry's highest efficacy in its class and can reduce system costs by up to 40%. The JR5050B complements this with best-in-class efficacy in both 6V and 30V configurations. The J Series portfolio also features top-performing white LEDs. The JB3030C delivers up to 3.33 PPF/W (typical), while the JB2835B offers the highest efficacy available in a 2835 white platform. Together, these solutions give horticulture lighting manufacturers exceptional efficiency, broad spectral versatility and unmatched design flexibility.
