is more than just a success story; it's a

Joint Letter
In an era defined by technological advancement and the urgent need for
sustainable agricultural practices, the partnership between Plantix and the
International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) reaffirms
the power of partnership in achieving sustainable development.
Our collaboration, seeded in 2015, sought to leverage the strengths of both
organizations to tackle agricultural challenges using technology. Almost a decade
later, we can proudly report that the Plantix app's AI-driven diagnostics, powered
by ICRISAT's research and data, have significantly improved crop health
management in the semi-arid regions of the world and beyond.
Together, we have achieved over 30 million downloads of the Plantix app and
analyzed more than 100 million images, providing critical agricultural insights to
millions of farmers worldwide.
Collaborating for Success
The success of this initiative would not have been possible without the dedicated
efforts of our partners, collaborators, and the farming community. This
collaborative spirit continues to enhance productivity and contribute to sustainable
farming practices across diverse geographies.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to all partners for embracing the vision. Your
trust drives us to continue our work, aiming for a future where technology fully
supports sustainable agriculture.
Towards the Future
As we move forward, we are committed to enhancing our technology, broadening
our impact, and steadfastly serving the farming community. Our aim is to refine
disease and pest prediction models and to broaden our network of collaboration,
sparking further advancements in agricultural technology.
We, therefore, invite like-minded entities to join us in this mission to transform
agriculture through science and technology. There is more ground to cover, and our
experience has reinforced the belief that partnership is the key to advancing
sustainable and economically viable farming practices for smallholder farmers
around the world.
