There are many ways crops can show they’re stressed, but unfortunately, the signs are often only noticeable to a human eye when a significant number of plants are in crisis. The potential for individual plants to signal stress before they begin to suffer is the reason why there’s some excitement around a company called InnerPlant,... Read More

Today we are joined by Shely Aronov, CEO of InnerPlant. She discusses the innovative seed technology created by the company and even dives into their newly announced investment from John Deere.

“Our entire food supply is completely dependent on chemicals and completely dependent on four to eight companies around the world to produce all these products.” – Shely Aronov     Shelly Aronov is the founder and CEO of InnerPlant. InnerPlant is kind of like Google Translate for plants. They're bioengineering plant genes so that crops can send messages to farmers, and the farmers will literally be able to understand what's going wrong with the crops. So that when they're under attack, the farmers will know much earlier than they do now.   The reason I'm so excited about what Shelly and InnerPlant are doing is because once they're launched and scaled, this will greatly reduce the use of pesticides in farming. And the faster we move away from pesticides the better as they are destroying everything in their wake.   “Plants communicate all the time, sending chemical signals to warn each other about threats. InnerPlant makes it possible to understand what plants are saying.” InnerPlant   “How do you increase biodiversity and how do you increase the microbial density of the soil? You just stop killing everything out there. Right, if we stop killing every single weed, if we stop putting a ton of chemicals that are really toxic on the soil, then everything's going to bounce back and nature is really good at bouncing back.” – Shely Aronov

This episode gets into the weeds with James Westwood a professor at Virginia Tech whose research focuses on parasitic plants, plant communication, and weed evolution. He's also the lead author of “Weed Management in 2050: Perspectives on the Future of Weed Science.” 

What if plants could tell us when pests are attacking them, or they're too dry, or they need more fertilizer. One startup is gene engineering farm plants so they can communicate in in fluorescent colors. The result: a farmer's phone, drone, or even satellite imagery can reveal what is happening in hundreds of acres of fields … That leads to better food, fewer crop failures, and more revenue for farmers. In this TechFirst with John Koetsier we meet Shely Aronov, CEO and founder at InnerPlant, and chat about what plants say, and how farmers can understand their messages.

InnerPlant is recoding the DNA of commodity crops so that they signal when they are under stress.

Can biotechnology code a plant to signal when it needs help?

InnerPlant: https://innerplant.com/ "From Farms to Incubators" https://www.farmstoincubators.com/  This week we are exploring the concept of engineering a plant to provide signals of stress like pest pressure or disease pressure or nutrient deficiency. InnerPlant is developing traits that serve as biosensors for when each of these unique types of stressors occur. This can be monitored via satellite for early detection and hopefully swift and precise action by the farmer. InnerPlant founder and CEO Shely Aronov is joining us on today's show.  And when I say us, I not only mean you I, dear listener, but also my co-host for today's episode Amy Wu. Amy is the author of the book “From Farms to Incubators: Women Innovators Revolutionizing How Our Food is Grown”. Amy and I teamed up earlier this year to produce some episodes together featuring women in agtech. This is the third of those episodes following Joanne Zhang in episode 263, and Ponsi Trivisvavet in episode 273. I highly encourage you to purchase a copy of Amy's book, as it not only includes Joanne and Ponsi, but also several other former guests of this podcast: like Pam Marrone, Fatma Kaplan, Sarah Nolet, Mariana Vasconcelos, Christine Su, and others.  So, joining Amy and I is Shely Aronov. Shely grew up in Israel and came to the United States to get her MBA at Stanford, where she chose entrepreneurship as her focus. After some entrepreneurial ventures including a hummus company, she was inspired by some work her father in law was doing in biosensors which eventually led to founding InnerPlant in 2018.  I usually don't feature companies on this show that are so early that they don't yet have a commercial offering. But when Amy brought up the idea, the concept of communicating with plants was just too enticing for me to pass up. You're going to hear a lot about how this works, why it could lead to significant improvements in management of these stressors, what it's like to be a female agtech founder not from an ag background, and why farmers are paying to be part of this several months before there's even a product available. 

In this episode, Shely talks about how the agribusiness landscape will shape the development of agtech with Shane Thomas, the agronomist and agribusiness analyst behind UpStream Ag Insights.

In this episode, we discuss the state of agtech and the challenges of being agtech founder with Adam Litle CEO of Sound Agriculture, an agtech company working to increase the pace of consumer and environmental change by unleashing the natural power of plants.

Matt Carstens, President and CEO of Landus Cooperative, Iowa's largest farmer-owned cooperative focusing on soy and corn, joins the show this week to talk about innovation in agriculture and putting farmers at the center of agtech development. 

Shely Aronov, CEO and Foudner of InnerPlant, joins the podcast for #TechTuesday! Tune in to hear us talk about the technology helping producers talk to plants.

Benjamin Riensche, a sixth-generation Iowa farmer and chair of the strategic advisory board of Indigo Research Partners, joins Croptastic to talk about agtech, regenerative farming, and his recent trip to the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, IL.

This special two-episode edition takes a deep dive into the science behind InnerPlant with co-founder and chief science officer Rod Kumimoto and head of detection technologies, Ari Kornfeld. Episode 1 focuses on the plant biology behind the fluorescent signals that InnerPlant's crops give off when they're under stress from pathogens or a lack of water or nutrients. Episode 2 focuses on the science involved in detecting InnerPlant's optical signals in daylight from as far away as space.

Yacov also serves as adviser to a number of firms lending his expertise as a data scientist and AI/machine learning expert.

Brandon Hunnicutt, a 5th-generation Nebraskan farmer, joins the show to give a farmer's perspective on the role that technology plays in the future of agriculture. Brandon serves as vice-chair of the Nebraska Corn Board, a board member of the National Corn Growers Association, and chairman of the board of Field to Market: the Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture.

Pam Marrone joins the show to talk about how biologicals and other technologies will change agriculture and what it's like to be one of less than two dozen women in history to lead an IPO.  Pam is a pioneering agtech entrepreneur who founded and led Marrone Bio to a successful IPO as its CEO and shares her unparalleled knowledge of agtech with us on this episode. 

Ben Chostner joins the show to talk about the past, present, and future of agriculture and food. Ben is an early agtech pioneer and Vice President of Blue River Technology, which was acquired by John Deere in 2017. He was Blue River's second employee and led the development of the company's See & Spray precision weed-targeting system. 

Carl Peterson, owner of Peterson Farms Seed network and third-generation farmer, joins the show to give a farmer-centric view of the future of agriculture and food. 

Patrick Vizzone joins Shely to talk about China's role in the global future of agriculture and food. Patrick is one of InnerPlant's newest investors/advisors and is International Head of Food Beverage and Agribusiness and Hong Kong Head of Corporate Banking for the Australia New Zealand  Banking Group. Patrick also spent more than a decade on the board of China Agri Industries, which was the key listed subsidiary of the COFCO Group, China's largest food and agriculture company.
