How AiScarecrow Technologies supports cereal farmers with crop protection

In an era where sustainable agriculture is crucial for food security, AiScarecrow Technologies Ltd is at the forefront of innovation for pest birds control. As a KIC-funded business, AiScarecrow harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) to provide smart, eco-friendly, and automated crop protection solutions for cereal farmers while promoting environmentally responsible farming.

AiScarecrow Technologies introduces AI-powered monitoring systems and automated deterrents for bird scaring for cereal producers using drones. This minimizes crop losses, improves yields, fostering a more sustainable agricultural ecosystem.

AiScarecrow’s journey has been significantly boosted by Kosmos Innovation Center (KIC). After emerging winners at the 2019 KIC AgriTech Challenge Classic, the team won funding support to scale up their operations. Through follow on mentorship, and access to critical networks, AiScarecrow has scaled its operations, refined its technology, and expanded its reach to impact more farmers.

KIC’s support has enabled the company to support farmers to navigate key challenges in the agricultural sector while unlocking growth opportunities.

“By providing data-driven, climate-smart solutions, AiScarecrow empowers farmers to make informed pest control decisions, improving productivity and resilience against climate-related agricultural threats.” Mary Aboagye – Co-founder, AiScarecrow.

The adoption of AI-driven pest management not only safeguards farms but also contributes to a more robust and food-secure Ghana.
