AI for the Future of Fresh Food

GrwNxt is a deep technology start-up using AI and machine learning to develop unique digital recipes for growing highly nutritious fresh food. With AI we can create ideal circumstances for plants in remotely controlled GrwNxt growth modules.

AI is a game-changer for breakthroughs in the growing process. It enables ultra-precise digital recipes to unleash healthy food components such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. The application of deep learning technology shortens the development time needed for growth recipes without GMO or any infringement of seeds. AI is a valuable enabling technique to stimulate nature in growing healthy, nutritious fresh food.

GrwNxt is an award winning company. As one of the first, we were the 2020 winner of the XPrize Future of Food Breakthrough Track at the AI for Good Global Summit, sponsored by the United Nations. In the past years we won important research grants for the development of AI-led Dynamic Digital Recipes (DDR™), for Neuro-Robotics and Image Recognition for Ultra-Precision Growing of Food Components.

GrwNxt works on a sustainable way forward with AI to bring the Future of Fresh Food nearby.

Strategies for Societal Impact of Research

At GrwNxt we do research with societal impact. Deep learning technologies combined with plant science lead to a DDR™, dynamic digital recipe, for plants with higher amounts of protein, vitamins and useful minerals. Healthy diets start with focus on nutritious food components. Forget about bio-mass only: GrwNxt goes for radical innovation for a food revolution.
We were invited to present Strategies for Societal Impact of Research at the Impact Event of the Topsector Horticulture and Starting Materials at the World Horti Center (WHC) in Naaldwijk, 28 October 2021.

The Real New Thing

Deep Learning & Plant Science for DDR™ in Indoor Fresh Food Production

Recently GrwNxt published The Real New Thing: Deep Learning & Plant Science for DDR™ in Indoor Fresh Food Production. In this research we tested the application of deep learning technologies (AI, ML, IR) in combination with plant science to develop Dynamic Digital Recipes (DDR™) for a series of crops. The aim of this research is to find novel ways to optimize the amount of food components (vitamins, proteins and minerals) in fresh greens to stimulate a healthy diet for millions of people.

GrwNxt receives MIT R&D Subsidy

GrwNxt has been granted a MIT Noord-Holland subsidy for R&D collaboration in the development of our Ballerina and our Bridge. The participants in this joined project are GrwNxt, who has taken the role as coordinator of the project, Tebulo and Alumat Zeeman. The purpose of the MIT subsidy is to stimulate sustainable innovation projects carried out by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within top-sectors.
