Finalization of our GreenGrowth project with Klimastiftung Schweiz
How do you know if your predictions for soil nutrient release are actually working? How do you translate a complex model into actionable instructions that make sense? And how do you bring it to market so everyone can profit from tailored fertilization planning?
You get your hands dirty. You sample nearly 200 real fields, measure the activity of soil enzymes, and track nutrient release over time. You talk to your farmers and show them exactly how their soil performs until you drop the jargon and start talking real life. You build contracts and collaborations, growing a network to bring these solutions to as many people as possible.
All of this is possible thanks to the co-funding from Klimastiftung Schweiz for our project, GreenGrowth.
Validation and product development take time and a lot of work, especially in a sector governed by seasonal crop growth. The Klimastiftung Schweiz team understood that "slow" fields can have a huge impact on climate protection, but they require build-up time, validation, and patience.
We will stay in touch to keep quantifying our positive climate impact as we grow. If you are working to fight climate change and you are located in Switzerland —reach out to Klimastiftung Schweiz!
Now as the project finished, we move to new exciting stages, stay tuned! 😊

Healthy soil is the foundation of our entire food system – but many of the most important things happening in soil are invisible - Blogpost by Sonia Meller for AI4SoilHealth
Timely soil health indicators
In this blog for AI4SoilHealth, Peter Lehmann and Sonia Meller discuss how forest soils are a perfect example of why we need to approach the timing of soil sampling carefully.
Making farming
more sustainable

Im Ackerbau wird oft zu viel und zum falschen Zeitpunkt gedüngt. Mit dem Messapparat eines Spin – offs der ETH Zürich sollen Landwirte ihre Felder optimal bewirtschaften können.
