Welcome to AI 4 Soil Health
About AI 4 Soil Health
Helping the farmers and land managers of tomorrow by providing new tools to measure soil health without the need for laboratories.
Using artificial intelligence to monitor and predict soil health for farmers and growers across Europe.

"The farmers of tomorrow will use their mobile phones as pocket soil laboratories. This will allow them to save on energy, eliminate fertilisers and produce food more efficiently while also getting paid for capturing atmospheric carbon”
Thomas Gumbricht, Stockholm University
More about the project
We’re going to find out which soil health indicators work best, and work with pilot sites on the ground to test and develop tools in the real world environment.
