How one AI startup is helping rice farmers battle climate change


Mitti Labs is working with The Nature Conservancy to expand the use of climate friendly rice farming practices in India. The startup uses its AI to verify reductions in methane emissions.

Mitti has started working with The Nature Conservancy on a partnership to promote regenerative, no-burn agriculture, the startup exclusively told TechCrunch, the latest in a string of deals that extend its reach. While Mitti’s main operations currently focus on developing projects that reduce the amount of methane generated by rice farming, the company is working to offer more software features to third parties, he said. Mitti’s main data sources come from satellite imagery and radar, which can penetrate through clouds, plants, water, and the soil to determine what’s happening underground where the microbes live.
