DayTwo offers a  $499 personalized nutrition recommendation program to the public consumer.  Participants in this program will receive nutrition guidance which is supported by both AI and certified dieticians.  As always with developing AI neural nets, the recommendations (predictions) are expected to produce better results as more training data is fed into the system (no pun intended). 

This is an exciting program to follow!  

 

This is an interesting article about how AI is improving farming and the nutritional value of crops.  

"AI gives UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) researchers a better chance at creating a great Florida-grown blackberry or olive"

Benefits of using AI in farming research: 

1. "AI can analyze the vast amount of data collected by the sensors to determine if each plant is getting too much or too little water and nutrients — something that would be extraordinarily challenging without this technology. Tapping into the UF initiative will accelerate work like this that’s already going on at UF/IFAS."

2. "we have the scientific teams to use AI to attack complex problems. We can pair engineers with entomologists, agronomists, horticulturalists, plant pathologists, soil scientists and more to take a 360-degree look at removing obstacles to growing anything in Florida with reduced impact on the environment."

3. UF already has a competitive university plant breeding team. [which further advances the effectivenes of the AI tools and effectiveness]

4. "our innovations spread more rapidly because we have an expert corps dedicated to delivering science to farmers"
