AI Startup Helps Rice Farmers Tackle Climate Change How One AI Startup Is Helping Rice Farmers Battle Climate Change Fixing climate change is no small task — but how one AI startup is helping rice farmers battle climate change shows that innovation and partnerships can make a real difference. Image Credits:Carlos Duarte / Getty Images New York–based Mitti Labs has built groundbreaking technology that measures methane emissions from rice paddies and uses the data to train thousands of farmers in sustainable practices. By combining AI, on-the-ground partnerships, and climate-friendly farming, Mitti is giving rice growers powerful tools to reduce emissions while improving yields. The Challenge: Rice Farming and Methane Emissions Rice paddies are responsible for a significant portion of global methane emissions. Methane traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, making it a critical target in the fight against climate change. Farmers often face a dilemma: traditional farming practices that boost yields can worsen methane release. Thi…
