Blomso (Techstars 2024), is focused on making sustainable agriculture pragmatic and profitable. “We’re part of this global push for sustainability. In agriculture, topsoil loss is one of the biggest problems and a critical piece in the food supply chain. One of the main problems of soil degradation is fertilizer over-usage ― too much fertilizer will ultimately make soil unusable if you apply things like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium (NPK) where they aren’t needed.” - Kalib Riddle, Founder and CEO Blosmo is combining the sensor technology, software and AI to improve agricultural fertilizer application and reduce harmful runoff caused by over-application.
