For thousands of years, farming has thrived on the predictability of seasons. But as the Earth warms, that predictability is vanishing, leading to extreme weather events that stress crops and jeopardize livelihoods. What if there was a way to communicate directly with plants, to understand their needs in real-time?

Enter Supplant, a startup that's putting the equivalent of an Apple Watch on plants. Using AI and sensors, Supplant has created a "Plant Stress Index," offering a real-time pulse check on global crops. With sensors deployed from Mexico to the UAE, this innovation could be a game-changer for sustainable agriculture in a climate-challenged world.

Join us as we sit down with Supplant's founder, Ori Ben Ner, to listen in to what our crops are telling us about the climate crisis. If you're interested in agriculture, climate change solutions, or tech innovations, this episode is for you.
