Kilimo

Kilimo is a water-technology company founded in 2014 in Cordoba, Argentina, that applies artificial intelligence to agricultural irrigation to address water scarcity in farming regions across Latin America. It was created to help growers and the corporations and public agencies that depend on regional water supply reduce unnecessary irrigation without cutting yield.

The platform combines satellite, climate, and on-farm data into hydrological models that recommend irrigation timing and volume per field, and measures results in cubic meters of water saved against international volumetric water benefit accounting standards. Customers include farmers, agribusiness companies, and corporate and public water-stewardship programs backed by organizations such as the Inter-American Development Bank.

1. Irrigation Recommendations: Suggests irrigation timing and volume per field from hydrological models.

2. Satellite and Climate Data: Feeds field models with remote-sensing and weather inputs.

3. Water Impact Measurement: Quantifies cubic meters of water saved per watershed program.

4. Territorial Intelligence: Combines local watershed data with technical agronomic knowledge.

5. Corporate Water Programs: Supports companies and agencies running water-stewardship initiatives.

6. Multi-Country Coverage: Operates irrigation programs across seven Latin American countries.
