Enfarm’s agricultural solution was honored at the AI summit in Paris, France

Enfarm, a pioneer in applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to measure and advise on soil nutrition for farmers, has been selected from nearly 800 global projects to be showcased at the Global Artificial Intelligence Summit, taking place in Paris from February 10 to 11, 2025.

This prestigious event, organized by the French government, brings together national leaders, CEOs of major corporations, leading scholars, and representatives of civil society worldwide to discuss pathways for sustainable AI development and create solutions that benefit society and the environment.

Enfarm’s breakthrough technology will be exhibited at the Grand Palais, the iconic national exhibition hall located on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Here, Enfarm will have the opportunity to present its solutions to hundreds of delegates and policymakers from around the world.

Among nearly 800 projects, Enfarm is one of only four representatives from Asia. This recognition highlights the innovative capacity of Vietnamese engineers in developing technologies that can address global challenges.

Breakthrough in sustainable agriculture with Enfarm’s solution

One of the biggest challenges in agriculture that Enfarm aims to address is fertilizer inefficiency. Each year, more than 60% of fertilizers applied are not absorbed by crops, resulting in $120 billion in losses, degradation of one-third of global farmland, and contributing 5% of greenhouse gas emissions.

By combining soil sensor data with a smartphone application, Enfarm uses machine learning to optimize the accuracy of low-cost sensors and provide effective recommendations for farmers. Trials conducted in coffee farms in Dak Lak have shown that the technology can increase crop yields by up to 30% while reducing fertilizer use by 30%.

Dr. Long Phi Ho, co-founder of Enfarm and former member of the National Advisory Council on Climate Change, envisions Enfarm as a revolutionary solution for transitioning agriculture toward low-emission practices while maintaining high productivity to meet the projected 70% increase in food demand by 2050, as forecasted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Vision and future direction

According to Mr. Dung Do Nguyen, Co-founder and CEO of Enfarm, climate change is rendering traditional farming methods obsolete, as seen in challenges like low fruit-setting rates in the Mekong Delta and poor durian quality in the Central Highlands. In this context, Enfarm provides an opportunity to help farmers not only improve yields but also increase incomes, contributing to the growth of sustainable agriculture.

Currently, the company is focused on building a large database on soil, fertilizers, and crops, aiming for major breakthroughs in 2025 that could transform agricultural production.

With its advanced technology platform, Enfarm plans to expand into ASEAN markets in 2025, seizing opportunities created by the rising value of agricultural products, the challenges of climate change, and the growing demand for food security in the region.
