Exploring the possibilities of AI in farming

As practices and methods in farming are evolving, there’s one new method in particular that employs advanced technologies to be more efficient and sustainable.

It’s what Gilwoo Lee and Casey Call did with their startup company, Zordi, which specializes in producing autonomous greenhouses. Their greenhouse platforms use a combination of robotic machines and artificial intelligence that manage crops.

Founded in 2020, Zordi aims to address the looming problem of climate change. It has established two autonomous greenhouses equipped with these technologies, aiming to reduce labor costs by 80 percent and make greenhouse farming scalable and more cost-efficient.

While greenhouse farming is a sustainable method of growing fresh produce, it comes with challenges. “Greenhouse farming demands significant labor and expertise to direct complex crop care decisions,” according to Gilwoo Lee, Zordi’s founder, and CEO.
