In recent years, agriculture has experienced rapid innovation, with cutting-edge technologies drastically improving efficiency and sustainability. At the forefront of this transformation is Proofminder, an advanced agricultural platform that has emerged from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), empowering farmers with the ability to manage their fields like never before.
What is Proofminder?
Proofminder delivers leaf-level reports for every square centimeter of land, analyzing critical aspects such as:
• Plant population
• Weed detection (both green-on-green and green-on-brown)
• Variable-rate application (VRA) spraying maps
• Plant damage analysis
• Yield assessment
The platform leverages high-resolution drone imagery (<0.5 cm/pixel) and combines it with the power of AI and Machine Learning. This fusion of technology enables farmers to gain actionable insights, drastically reducing time spent in the field and cutting chemical inputs by up to 80%. The result? Increased operational efficiency and a stronger push toward sustainable farming practices.
