Trebirth – 2025
Trebirth is an AgriTech project, working on stem borer pest detection for grape farmers. Stem borer pests are cruptic, wherein they enter the stem of the crop/ tree and create a tunneling damage, and by the time the farmers come to know about the infestation, almost 60% of the trees are damaged, the stage where the trees dry up and eventually the farmers have to cut them down. We are trying to help farmers know about the infestation early on, and also help them prevent from any future infestation. Studio Instructor Michele Kahane Designers Maitre Dehdia
