Precision AI Farming Company Raises $20M to Deploy Herbicide-Spraying Drone Swarms
Canada-based agritech startup Precision AI will be deploying swarms of artificially intelligent drones to reduce the use of herbicides in agriculture. The company recently raised seed funding of $20 million to help the agriculture industry reduce its chemical footprint.
Precision AI says that more than 80 percent of herbicides end up wasted on bare ground, while another 15 percent fall on the crops. The startup wants to help farmers reduce pesticide use by up to 95 percent with the help of drones.
