PerPlant is harnessing the power of space to transform how farmers work - making data-driven, precision agriculture accessible to all.

By using satellite imagery and advanced AI with their unique sensors installed on tractors, PerPlant helps farmers understand exactly what’s happening in their fields as they drive. Data is displayed in the PerPlant app and stored for future use in documentation. As the tractor drives, the sensor can perform real-time dosing via sprayers and fertilizer spreaders, boosting yields while reducing waste and environmental impact.

"Democratizing access to AI using tractor mounted camera assistants."
- PerPlant

Their sensors are designed to be easy to use, from installation to operating to documenting results, ensuring that precision agriculture isn’t just for big agribusiness but is accessible for every farmer who wants to get more from their land.

Turning space data into decisions for Earth

Why should space data be used to inform agriculture here on Earth? While traditional farming decisions must often rely on limited data, satellite imagery – especially when combined with AI-powered analytics - offer a full-field perspective, helping farmers spot early signs of disease, optimize inputs, and respond faster to changing conditions.
PerPlant’s technology empowers farmers with timely, actionable insights that lead to increases in yields by 4% and reduced costs, paying for itself within a year through the increased yield and reduced resource needs. Overall, PerPlant’s technology contributes to more sustainable farming practices.

This is a powerful example of how space-based technologies can directly support practical needs on Earth, making agriculture data-driven; becoming more productive and efficient as a result.

Curious how you can use space tech to make an impact here on Earth?

PerPlant demonstrates that space data isn’t just for experts - it's a tool that any farmer can use to improve how they work, every day. By making precision farming accessible and scalable for farmers across Denmark, PerPlant is leading the way in showing how space technology can drive smarter, more sustainable agriculture.
