Mood Rings for Plants: VC-Funded AgTech Tackles 40% Crop Loss with Living Sensors
Shely Aronov, CEO of InnerPlant, reveals how her team is building crops that "talk" to farmers through optical signals, helping prevent yield loss while redefining the future of agriculture.
⭐ My guest today is Shely Aronov, Founder and CEO of InnerPlant.
InnerPlant is a VC-backed agtech company on a mission to transform farming by enabling crops to communicate with growers. Their Living Sensor plants emit optical signals detectable by tractors in the field or by satellites in space.
Shely is a serial entrepreneur with experience in multiple sectors across multiple countries with an MBA from Stanford University.
