Description
Our patented system, the Automated Selective Harvester ('Harvesta'), redefines broccoli harvesting. Traditional harvesting relies on multiple manual passes by large teams, making broccoli a high-cost field vegetable to produce. Harvesta replaces this with a robotic, AI-enabled platform that intelligently selects and cuts mature heads in a reduced number of passes—driving down costs, increasing labour resilience, and reducing crop loss due to harvesting delays.
Beyond harvesting florets, Harvesta also collects the often-discarded nutritious stalk. Using our patent-filed processing techniques, this biomass is transformed into four high-value sustainable ingredients — Prota, Fiba and Necta —opening new revenue streams and enhancing the circularity of vegetable farming.
Each pass of Harvesta captures high-resolution imagery of every plant, creating a comprehensive dataset that feeds into our digital platform, Intellia. Leveraging machine learning, Intellia will provide real-time field-level analytics and decision support, empowering growers with actionable insights for precision agriculture, improved land management, and optimal harvest timing.
Our innovation offers a unique convergence of robotics, AI, sustainable food ingredients, and agricultural intelligence, driving long-term value and resilience for farmers— while offering investors a scalable, IP-rich opportunity positioned at the cutting edge of sustainable agri-tech and next-generation food ingredients.
