Israeli tech helping farmers worldwide improve their crops

Every day, the Jewish state of Israel is making the world a better place with its miraculous technology and innovation. Israel is the most (unjustly) condemned country on the planet. However, that does not prevent Israel from providing invaluable humanitarian and technological aid to over 140 countries. Even countries that refuse to recognize Israel (such as Syria) are not exempt from Israel’s generosity.

It is unconscionable that the Democrat Party refuses to support the pro-America Israel. Despite Israel being a country that embraces all things “progressive,” such as green technology, equality for women, affordable health care, affordable education, equality for minorities, freedom of religion, legalizing cannabis, assisting the developing world, and countless other areas, the Democrat Party would rather support the Jew-hating Palestinians. #Jexodus.

It began with four cofounders in “garage” mode in 2015. Less than four years later, Israeli ag-tech company Taranis has nearly 60 employees, five overseas offices, two acquired companies and $30 million in investments.

About 19,000 farmers use the agriculture platform to make decisions about preventing disease and pest infestation in crops such as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and potatoes on a cumulative 20 million acres of fields in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Israel, Russia, United States and Ukraine.

“The last three years have been pretty amazing,” acknowledges Taranis CEO Ofir Schlam from the company’s Tel Aviv headquarters. “There are a lot more needs in the field, a lot of demand for our product and more ways to use our basic technology better.”

Raised in a farming family, Schlam believed more accurate predictive models could prevent many of the world’s multibillion-dollar crop losses caused by weather, fertilizer deficiencies, diseases, and insect and weed infestations.
