InnerPlant technology helps crops signal distress to reduce waste

Summary: Companies like InnerPlant are developing technology to help crops communicate distress signals to farmers, reducing agricultural waste. This genetic engineering solution uses fluorescents in plants to emit signals detectable by devices on satellites, drones, or tractors. This innovation aims to optimize chemical use, potentially saving farmers up to 30% in over-application costs. InnerPlant has received $22.3 million in funding and is working with major agriculture producers to implement the technology.
