14:00-14:15 - Providing climate-smart, data- driven precision agriculture solutions to farmers

ELZIAN AGRO provides climate-smart, data-driven precision agriculture solutions with integrated monitoring and automation systems tailored to the requirements of farmers. Our patent-pending IoT-enabled devices allow farmers to monitor soil and atmospheric elements in real-time, predict issues before they happen & make informed decisions to optimize crop yields and restore the quality of their land/soil. Our customers can monitor their farmland anywhere, anytime, and make efficient and rational decisions to maximize their profitability through crop waste reduction, effective utilization of limited resources (water, land, labour, fertilizer), and increase their crop yield organically.

14:16-14:30 - Developing solutions for plant cultivation in suboptimal, degraded environments

Re:moss, with its slogan 'Laying the foundation for Nature restoration at scale in suboptimal degraded environments' is developing concepts, technologies and solutions for plant cultivation and use in suboptimal environments, specifically for ecological restoration of post-mining landscapes and degraded lands. The technology cost-effectively grows selected native moss species in large scale, which is used to restore areas disturbed by human activities like industrial sites, post-mining landscapes, roads and infrastructure, for post-fire rehabilitation, or to slowdown and reverse desertification by facilitating biocrust restoration. The technology can also be integrated into existing reclamation and restoration approaches, across all geographies, and particularly in harsh climates and conditions. The innovation’s adaptive and scalable solutions offer unique capabilities to grow native mosses ex situ on large scale bioreactors to enable rapid land restoration.
