McCain Foods Uses AI to Boost Climate Resilience and Crop Yields
-
McCain Foods is using AI software from ClimateAi to assess climate risks and adapt its practices to maintain crop yields as the climate changes.
-
ClimateAi's software provides granular forecasts of extreme weather events and recommendations for adaptation based on climate data and crop models.
-
The software has helped clients like Advanta Seeds avoid crop losses and increase sales by 10% through early warning of adverse weather.
-
ClimateAi is also helping seed developers identify resilient varieties faster, and helping food companies evaluate lower-risk locations for future planting.
-
The founders aim to deploy the technology more broadly to build climate resilience in food systems and improve rural livelihoods.
