The Micro-Macro Link Between Farmers & Environment
The Challenge
A Crisis in Agriculture
Small-scale farming, which makes up 84% of farms worldwide, faces a stark choice: risk total crop loss from weeds and disease or rely on chemicals that degrade the land over time.
At the same time, the world confronts its own double bind—feeding a growing population while repairing environmental damage. The technology to address both challenges exists, but remains financially out of reach for those who need it the most.
Why Ceres FieldCheck?
Transformative Impact
Luke creates measurable change across environmental, economic, and social dimensions.
Environmental
5X more energy-efficient than laser alternatives. 30% decrease in herbicide use. Soil health rebuilds and improves naturally.
Economic
Early disease detection increases harvests by 25%. Up to €200 value created per acre per harvest for each farmer.
Social
Cycles of debt & chemical dependence are broken. Generational farming knowledge retained. Increase skilled rural employment.
Global Goals
UN Sustainable Development Goals
No Poverty
By improving yields and reducing input costs, we strengthen the economic stability of small-scale farmers. Higher productivity and lower reliance on expensive chemicals translate directly into increased disposable income.
Zero Hunger
By significantly reducing crop losses due to weeds and diseases, we enhance agricultural productivity and strengthen food security. Our robots enable farmers to maintain healthier crops and achieve consistently higher yields.
Decent Work
Our operations create employment across development and manufacturing. By reducing costs, we enable small farmers to reinvest, expand holdings, and create local employment, strengthening their position.
Climate Action
Our robots reduce dependency on harmful chemicals and mitigate soil degradation. By enabling higher yields from existing land, we reduce pressure on ecosystems and educate communities on soil protection.
Be Part of the Change
Whether as a pilot farmer, NGO partner or investor, you can help us scale this impact to 475 million farmers worldwide.
