How the pilot works

PLANet-ZERO connects the field and the factory, so better decisions in the field can create more value at every step.

01 | Improve the plucking

We test better plucking rounds and stricter 2.5-leaf standards to improve leaf quality and realised leaf value.

02 | Measure what quality is worth

We work with factories to measure what cleaner intake leaf does to outturn, quality value, and energy use.

03 | Guide the field better

We use field mapping, simple mobile workflows, and fertiliser prescription tools to help farmers and field teams act earlier and more accurately.

This is not just a dashboard. It is a practical pilot to help farmers pick better, help factories convert better, and help both sides earn more.
