NatureSweet, which grows tomatoes on six farms in the United States and Mexico, is using artificial intelligence to better control pests and diseases in its greenhouses. The technology, developed by the Israeli digital farming company Prospera, has already improved harvests and reduced labor costs. NatureSweet began testing the technology almost a year ago at one of its farms in Arizona. It plans to roll the tech out to all of its locations soon. Farms are increasingly using technology to grow crops, from task-tracking systems that monitor watering and seeding to drones that capture aerial images. So far, NatureSweet's weekly harvests have grown 2% to 4%. This may seem modest, but the results make a big difference when growing millions of pounds of tomatoes a year. To use the method, NatureSweet installed 10 cameras in greenhouse ceilings. The cameras continuously take photos of the crops below. Prospera's software has been trained to recognize trouble, such as insect infestations or dying plants. The cameras from Prospera monitor the plants 24/7 and provide instant feedback. Prospera's founder Daniel Koppel previously researched how to predict crop yields from satellite photos -- insights that can be used to trade commodities on Wall Street. Prospera plans to track more crops, including peppers and potatoes, as well as monitor plants outside greenhouses. NatureSweet has experimented with using the cameras to forecast when plants are ready to be harvested. Although the technology is still a work in progress, improved efficiency is apparent. The company announced this week it raised $15 million from investors such as Qualcomm Ventures and Cisco Investments to fund expansion.
