Smallholder Farms are essential for global food security. They make up a third of global food supply.

Yet they face many obstacles...

Soil Analysis
Visual Analysis
Lab Analysis

Crop diagnostics enable farmers to employ suitable strategies against these conditions.

Current solutions, however, suffer various limitations - they are either too expensive, too inaccurate or too time-consuming.

That's why we present...

Specific miRNAs are upregulated during the nutrient stress response of plants. By testing for high levels of these specific miRNAs, we can determine whether the plant is deficient or not.

Hover over nutrients to discover miRNAs

Our test requires 3 steps:
Extraction
Detection
Analysis

Within these, we are developing an efficient & safe miRNA extraction protocol, exploring 3 different biological methods for detection and creating an easy-to-use mobile app to interpret the read-out.
