Mitti Labs GeoAI maps rice fields
Rice uses a ton of water and pumps out greenhouse gasses, but Mitti Labs is tackling that head-on.
Its NASA-supported GeoAI platform uses satellite data to map rice fields, helping farmers fine-tune irrigation and cut emissions.
Plus, its AWD method means less water wasted and fewer methane emissions, good news for small farmers across Asia trying to farm sustainably.
