About FarmSense

Leading the Next Generation of Insect Monitoring

Each year, the agricultural industry loses over $220 billion in crop damage caused by insects. For too long, growers have relied on outdated solutions like sticky traps and broad-spectrum pesticide spraying — methods that are time-consuming, often inaccurate, and harmful to beneficial insects responsible for pollinating over 70% of global crops.

FarmSense exists to change that. Our patented real-time sensor technology combines computational entomology and machine learning to provide growers with actionable data that leads to smarter, more sustainable pest management.

By reducing uncertainty in the field, we’re helping farmers make better decisions, conserve resources, and boost yields — ultimately advancing food security and independence worldwide.

Our Mission

Our mission is to leverage modern computational power to mitigate the harmful effects of insects and to enhance the beneficial impact of insects.

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide data that enables the goals of global sustainable agriculture.

FarmSense can help growers reduce losses from insect pests and lower dependence on pesticides.
