Description organization:
Are you passionate about sustainable agriculture and interested in combining that passion with a diverse skill set that complies with the digital age? SoilBeat is offering an exciting internship opportunity where you can leverage technology to make a positive impact. Through this experience, we not only aim for you to develop tech skills, but also to contribute to the transition from conventional farming to regenerative agriculture.
The current agriculture system heavily relies on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in various environmental drawbacks such as soil erosion, biodiversity loss, water pollution, and resistance to pests and diseases. Regenerative agriculture offers a sustainable alternative by replacing synthetic inputs with organic nutrients.
As an intern at the startup SoilBeat, you will be part of a team working on a SAAS (Software as a Service) platform that facilitates the transition to regenerative agriculture. The platform makes critical data on soil and crop health visible, empowering farmers and agricultural advisors to determine the appropriate organic nutrition based on this information. By streamlining collaboration between farmers and advisors, SoilBeat aims to support a smooth transition to regenerative practices.
SoilBeat is currently in its initial phase and stands out by focusing on the innovative technology of plant sap analysis. Plant sap analysis acts as a "blood test" for crops and is becoming increasingly popular among farmers worldwide.
