Accepted Answer

English, Hindi and Hinglish today, by text or voice.

Not yet. We will publish measured results from pilots once we have them, rather than estimates.

Question 28

How does cutting food loss help the climate?

Accepted Answer

Food that spoils has already used water, land, fertiliser and fuel to grow and move. Keeping more of it in the chain means less of those resources are wasted.

Accepted Answer

Partner on a pilot, share a field problem, or join our research network through the partner page.

Accepted Answer

No. The aim is to help growers spot problems earlier and ask better questions. For serious outbreaks, follow your local agriculture department or KVK.

Question 32

Do I need special hardware?

Accepted Answer

The plan is to work from a phone first. Satellite field maps need no hardware in the field.

Accepted Answer

We will start with the crops our registered growers report the most problems with. Tell us what you grow when you register.

Do you sell coatings or chemical treatments?

Perishables with high losses, such as tomatoes, onions, leafy greens and fruit. Tell us your crop so we can prioritise it.

Accepted Answer

Not yet. You can ask Yuvi general questions about weather and crops today. Register to hear when field alerts start.

Accepted Answer

The plan is for growers to control what is shared, with buyers seeing origin, grade and handling for the lots they buy.

That is one aim. With lot-level records, a quality problem can be traced back to the farms and hand-offs involved, instead of recalling everything.
