Mineral, an Alphabet company, is working to make the world’s food system more productive and more sustainable. Since 2017, Mineral has been working to harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and perception technology to unlock more sustainable ways to feed humankind while protecting the planet. Many of the agriculture and food industry’s most influential companies and research institutes already use Mineral technology to more deeply understand plant physiology, discover more resilient crops, increase production, and improve the bottom line for agribusinesses and farmers alike. Together with our partners, we're hopeful that these platforms and tools will - over time - drive a deeper understanding of the complex interactions of plant genes, the environment, and farm management practices.
