It listens to the orchard
TREEYA pays attention to what is happening above the ground and below it, so each part of the land is judged on its own.
Every plant has something to say.
Today it is the mango.
We are building a way for growers to hear it, and to act at the right moment. Starting with orchards. Built for every plant.
A quiet helper in the field.
TREEYA is building a way for growers to hear what each part of their land needs, and to act at the right moment, even where power and signal come and go. We are starting with orchards. We are building for every plant.
What a morning could look like
A sample orchard, from first light to mid-morning. Times and blocks are made up to show the idea.
- 05:30Wakes before the farmerChecks every block while the field is still cool.
- 06:00Starts with Block DIt was the most stressed after yesterday's heat.
- 06:40Holds back on Block CThe roots still have what they need.
- 07:15Carries on through a power cutThe plan is kept and resumes when power returns.
- 09:00Sends a plain summaryWhat it did, what it skipped, and why.

Made for every plant.
We are starting where we can learn fastest: orchards. What TREEYA learns there is meant to travel to fields, plantations, greenhouses and gardens.
Where we start
Orchards, beginning in Gujarat, India, where about 25 lakh hectares already have drip or sprinkler systems. Read the report
Where we are going
Field crops, plantations and vegetables. Every plant has a rhythm; the idea is to hear it.
Why it matters.
Growing food is where the world spends most of its fresh water, loses much of its harvest and depends on hundreds of millions of small farms. Here is what that means, and where TREEYA could help.
- 71%FAO AQUASTAT, 2022 data →
of the fresh water the world withdraws goes to agriculture.
Every drop that arrives at the right moment is one that is not wasted.
- up to40%FAO scientific review, 2021 →
of the world’s crops are lost to pests every year.
Plants under steady, timely care are better placed to resist stress.
- 35%FAO researchers, World Development →
of the world’s food comes from farms under 2 hectares, on about 12% of farmland.
So TREEYA is being built to work for small farms, without needing constant signal.
- 23%FAO AQUASTAT, 2022 data →
of cultivated land worldwide is already equipped to deliver water to plants.
The hardware is often already there. What is missing is knowing when.
- 608millionFAO researchers, World Development →
family farms around the world.
A grower’s own judgement, given better information, at a scale that matters.
Growing still runs on guesswork.
The equipment is often already in the ground. Deciding when it should act is still done by routine, habit and a long walk across the field.
- Fixed routines that ignore rain, heat and soil.
- Power cuts that stop work halfway, with no record of what happened.
- Tools that need the internet exactly where the signal is weakest.
- Inputs applied by the calendar, not by need.
Listen. Decide. Explain. Learn.
Four ideas sit at the centre of TREEYA. We will say more when the first trials begin.
It decides in the field
Decisions are made on the device at the farm. A weak or missing network does not hold up the water.
No signal in the field today. Block B was looked after on time anyway.
It explains itself
Every action comes with a reason a farmer can read and question.
It learns, with permission
Lessons from past seasons arrive as suggestions. Nothing changes until the farmer says yes.
It carries on after a power cut
The plan is kept. When power returns, work picks up where it stopped.
A day with TREEYA.
Pick an hour, or press play, and watch a six-block sample orchard. Tap any block to read what TREEYA would do there, and why.

Block A, mango, 06:00
Next in line.
Sample orchard and made-up data, to show the idea. Not a live farm.
Build it with us.
We are looking for partners who can test TREEYA in real orchards and fields, question it, and help it reach growers beyond India.
- Producer organisationsGroups that look after many farms and can run a pilot together.
- Research institutionsAgricultural scientists who can test and challenge the ideas.
- Equipment makersCompanies whose systems are already in the field, and that TREEYA could work alongside.
- SupportersPeople and funds who back work that helps farms use resources well.
Join the early list.
TREEYA is in development and field trials have not started. Join the list and we will write when there is something real to show.
Is TREEYA available to buy?
Not yet. The early list is how we will tell you when it is.
Does it need the internet?
No. Decisions are made on the device in the field. A network is a convenience, not a requirement.
Will it replace what I already use?
The aim is to work alongside the equipment a farm already has, not to replace it.
Is it only for orchards?
No. Orchards are where we start. We are building for all kinds of plants: field crops, plantations, vegetables, nurseries and gardens.
Is it only for India?
No. We are starting in Gujarat, India, and want to hear from growers and partners everywhere.
Who decides what happens in my orchard?
You do. TREEYA explains its actions, and nothing it learns changes anything until you say yes.
A question about TREEYA, an idea, a problem on your farm we should know about. It comes straight to the team.
- Growers, researchers and partners are all welcome.
- Any language is fine. We will reply in the one you write in, if we can.
- Or email us directly at contact@treeya.in.
