Soil Next
SoilNext is a climate-tech and agri-tech startup making biology focused soil health testing more accessible, reliable, faster, and affordable. Our proprietary AI-powered diagnostic tool, SoilEye, analyses soil microscopy images to quantify microbial diversity and food web dynamics, critical indicators of soil health often ignored by conventional testing. We pair these insights with standard chemical metrics, macro and micro climate data, crop type and current farm practices to provide actionable recommendations, allowing farmers to increase yields in a sustainable way, all the while reducing their input costs.
Our Solution
