Farmers over-apply chemical pesticides because they cannot target individual weeds and pests

MModern farming relies heavily on chemical pesticides, creating a cycle where residues contaminate food, water, and soil while pests develop resistance, forcing farmers to spray more for diminishing results. The opportunity is AI that identifies individual weeds and pests in real time, paired with robotic precision treatment and biological alternatives like microbes and RNA. Solving it would cut pesticide use dramatically while increasing yields in one of the world's largest markets.
