A group of Indian Americans unveiled LetzFarm, an ‘innovative’ app designed to help farmers by harnessing AI to improve agricultural productivity, combat climate change and promote sustainable farming practices.
The Carbon Zero Institute of Trinidad and Tobago, CZITT and Abris teams came together to brainstorm ways to help Caribbean and small island economies. The team members include Abris ceo and co-founder Priya Samant, Donald Baldeosingh, Melanie TikaSingh, Thomas Arul, Anusha Anbarasan and Kuberan Selvaraj
The app was unveiled at the Institute of Caribbean Studies’ (ICS) Invest Smart Caribbean Summit in Washington, D.C. It is customised for farmers in Trinidad and Tobago and would be expanded to be used in other Caribbean nations.
LetzFarm leverages AI to provide farmers with real-time insights on crop management, climate adaptation, and market access. Designed for scalability, the app aspires to become a key tool for farmers across the Caribbean, Latin America, and eventually the global agricultural landscape.
By addressing critical challenges in agriculture, LetzFarm represents a transformative step forward in making farming more sustainable and resilient to climate challenges, with its roots firmly grounded in fostering prosperity across the region.
The launch event featured a distinguished panel discussion, highlighting the app’s alignment with eight of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). LetzFarm is poised to enhance food security, foster climate resilience, and drive inclusive growth across the agricultural sector in the Caribbean and beyond.
Justice Anthony Carmona, former president of Trinidad and Tobago, attended the ceremony, alongside Hemang Jani, senior advisor to the World Bank's executive director, and Parmesh Shah.
Jani emphasized the app's potential: “This initiative exemplifies the global influence of Indian knowledge, aiming to boost agricultural productivity, reduce prices, and connect farmers to optimal markets globally.”
