    Turning Plants into Living Sensors: Making Farming More Sustainable with Shely Aronov, Founder and CEO of InnerPlant

    Shely Aronov, Founder and CEO of InnerPlant, explains how her company uses genetic engineering to turn crops like soybeans into living sensors that signal stress (such as fungal pressure or nitrogen deficiency) via fluorescence. She details the technology's journey from leaf-clip prototypes to a remote sensing model using satellite imagery and hyperspectral cameras to detect these signals from space. Aronov discusses the business strategy of embedding this technology into seeds sold by partners rather than selling directly to farmers, and highlights the critical role of precision application hardware like John Deere's See & Spray in closing the loop on chemical usage.

    Willy Pell from Blue River Technology brings AI to the farm

    Willy Pell, VP of Autonomy at Blue River Technology (acquired by John Deere), explains how the company applied machine learning and computer vision to automate farming, starting with the See & Spray weed management system and expanding to the autonomous John Deere AR tractor. Pell details the strategic decision to use stereo cameras instead of LIDAR due to dust and speed constraints, and describes how the system uses deep learning to detect crops versus weeds, achieving significant herbicide savings. The episode also covers the broader roadmap for autonomous tillage, planting, and grain cart coordination, drawing inspiration from Tesla's data-driven approach to achieve full autonomy in a semi-structured agricultural environment.
