ROOTED is the agronomist’s data and operational platform

Empowering (corporate) agronomists with data-driven insights from risks to recommendations for more sustainable farming advise.

The problem

Traditionally, farmers were able to take decisions based on generational experiences.
However, extreme events caused by climate change fundamentally challenge this approach.

The number of weather-related disasters has increased fivefold over the past 50 years.

Global yields of maize, rice, wheat, and soybean could decline by 10% for each degree Celsius of warming.

By 2100 tropical areas could lose up to 200 suitable plant growing days per year due to climate change.

Our vision:

Ensuring farmers harvest what they sow through AI-driven risk predictions and mitigation recommendations for sustainable and prosperous agriculture worldwide.

The idea

We will develop a comprehensive toolset
for agronomists to

  • monitor agricultural risks in real-time,

  • provide sustainable and regenerative solutions for farmers,

  • track and report risks and goals to their organizations,

  • and facilitate knowledge sharing within the agronomist community.

Who?

Catharina, a digital entrepreneur who co-founded the SaaS company innosabi, discovered firsthand the challenges climate change brings to agriculture. In the 3 years since she started farming in Uruguay, she has faced one of the most severe droughts in recent history, followed by record rainfall the next year. That's where the concept of Rooted took root. Catharina takes on the CEO role.

Steffi is the tech wizard of the Rooted team and is the CTO of Rooted. She has significant experience building data and AI products and managing tech teams from her time at Palantir, BMW and Google.
