Bordeaux’s Château Puybarbe has become the first vineyard to be operationally monitored using hyperspectral satellites, through a partnership with Finnish analytics company Kuva Space. This collaboration pioneers the use of affordable, high-resolution satellite imaging for routine vineyard management, enabling earlier detection of vine stress, pests, and environmental changes. The project aligns with Puybarbe’s organic principles and aims to develop practical tools for precision agriculture. The partners hope their work will lay the groundwork for similar technology adoption across agriculture.

Rainbow Crops, a spin-off from Belgium's VIB institute, leverages genome editing, AI, and precision breeding to develop climate-resilient and high-yield crop varieties. Recently funded by a $7m Gates Foundation grant, the company aims to enhance crops like corn, sorghum, and rice, by combining CRISPR gene editing with AI for targeted genetic improvements. By partnering with seed companies, Rainbow Crops licenses its innovations, focusing on long-term revenue through milestone payments and royalties, while benefiting from eased European regulations on genomic techniques.
