AI optimisation layer · irrigation & fertigation

Bringinggreenhouseefficiencytothefield.

Every litre justified. Every acre optimised.

LeafShift is an AI optimisation layer for irrigation — and soon fertigation. It sits on top of the sensors and systems you already run, turning their data into decisions you can trust, with a confidence range on every call.

01Shadow mode

Starts as recommendations alongside your current setup — you stay in control.

02Confidence ranges

Every recommendation comes with a range, so you know when to trust it.

03Edge-ready

Runs on the edge or in the cloud — your data, your choice.

04No black box

Every decision is logged with its inputs, so you can always see why.

01 / The Challenge

The realities of modern farming.

Three forces are squeezing growers from every side. Dutch greenhouses have spent decades answering them under glass — with tight feedback loops and precise control. LeafShift brings that discipline to the open field.

~70%
of freshwater goes to agriculture

Water scarcity

Agriculture is the largest user of the world's freshwater. As aquifers fall and costs rise, every litre has to be justified — imprecise irrigation is no longer a margin issue.

fertiliser price swings since 2020

Input volatility

Gas-driven fertiliser prices have swung sharply since 2020. Getting fertigation right — not just irrigation — is where a lot of that budget is won or lost.

disconnected tools per operation

Fragmented systems

Sensors, pivots, pumps, and climate computers rarely talk to each other. Disconnected data means reactive decisions instead of one clear picture.

Figures are sector estimates, not LeafShift results.

02 / The LeafShift edge

Engineered for certainty.

An instrument, not an assistant. Calibrated outputs, decisions you can audit, and a system that runs where your data lives.

I
Confidence, not guesses

We tell you exactly how sure we are.

Most tools give you a single number. LeafShift gives you a confidence range around every irrigation call — so you know when to trust it and when to take a closer look. Certainty isn't assumed. It's computed.

Shadow mode auditing

Prove the value before you hand over control.

LeafShift runs alongside your current decisions, logging what it would have done and the difference it would have made — without touching anything. You build a data-backed case for or against automation before you commit.

III
Edge-ready & auditable

On the edge or in the cloud — your call.

Run inference locally to keep data on the farm, or in the cloud — your choice. Either way, every recommendation is logged with the inputs behind it, so you can always see why a call was made. Aggregated pilot data sharpens the models over time.

03 / Shadow-mode pilot

Request a pilot.

We are looking for a small number of growers — open-field or under glass — to run LeafShift in shadow mode. Every request is read personally. Tell us about your operation and we will be in touch.
