About
InnerPlant is an agtech company that develops genetically engineered living sensor plants that communicate their physiological state through optical signals. The company's platform, CropVoice, translates these signals into actionable recommendations, enabling farmers to make data-driven decisions for more productive, profitable, and sustainable crop management. InnerPlant's technology helps farmers detect diseases, pests, and nutrient deficiencies early, potentially weeks before visible symptoms appear, reducing chemical use and increasing crop yields. The signals can be detected by various means, including field equipment, drones, and satellites.
