– SWITZERLAND, Yverdon-Les-Bains – Ecorobotix, a Swiss provider of ultra-high precision crop treatment and plant-by-plant data, today announced the appointment of Simon Aspinall as its new CEO to drive global growth.
“Agriculture and farmland account for over 19% of global CO2 emissions. Ecorobotix’s ultra-high precision (UHP) agricultural data and crop treatment massively reduce chemical use (herbicides, pesticides) by 80-95%, while increasing crop yields by more than 5%. Ecorobotix identifies individual plants using AI and targets treatment only on weeds, not on crops or surrounding soil. The solution has the potential to massively reduce the CO2 footprint of all agriculture. I’m thrilled to lead Ecorobotix as it expands globally and develops its data and carbon business.” said CEO, Simon Aspinall.
