In a groundbreaking step for the future of smart agriculture, Aydi announced that it has successfully raised $7.5 million in a pre-seed funding round to launch ORTH, the world’s first AI-powered agricultural engineer, marking a major leap toward bringing agriculture into the era of artificial intelligence.
The funding round brought together a number of leading regional and international investors, including Daltex Corporation, alongside COTU Ventures, Nuwa Capital, Magrabi Agriculture, and Foundation Ventures. All partners expressed strong confidence in the project’s vision and its role in promoting sustainable agricultural development.
A New Era in Agricultural Innovation
The launch of ORTH comes at a critical time when farmers across the globe are facing rising production costs, unpredictable climate challenges, and limited access to professional agronomists.
This cutting-edge AI platform aims to address these issues by providing advanced digital solutions that help farmers make accurate and timely decisions on irrigation, fertilization, and pest control through powerful machine-learning algorithms.
The project also targets a 70% increase in global food production by 2050, aligning with international goals to meet population growth demands and ensure food security for future generations.
