Jason Aramburu Wants You to Grow Healthy Food with the Help of Soil IQ
While many people make an attempt to grow healthy food at home, it can be difficult to optimize the growing conditions for fruits and vegetables. Without the correct expertise, many who grow food in our gardens are merely making educated guesses about the best methods to treat plants. Jason Aramburu is a cool person in technology who wants to change this by giving people the power to measure things such as the nutrient content, pH, temperature, and moisture of their soil accurately. Aramburu wants to give people the appropriate help so they can grow healthy, sustainable food at home. He calls the device and system that he’s developed to give people this help Soil IQ. Just as good computer support makes using technology easier for many people, Aramburu wants Soil IQ to have the same effect on those trying to grow their own food. With Soil IQ giving people the data they need to ensure they’re doing everything right to cultivate their own fruits and vegetables, Aramburu is hoping that more people will choose to grow healthy food at home in the future.
Aramburu has extensive experience in soil and agricultural research. After receiving his degree in ecology from Princeton, he spent time as a researcher both for his alma mater and for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. He also previously founded an environmentally focused agricultural company named Re: char. Aramburu’s impressive record as both a scientific researcher and social entrepreneur show he is more than capable of scaling Soil IQ and helping to address the issue of sustainable food growth in gardens and on small farms.
Aramburu has developed Soil IQ to have only two components: a small sensor that you stick into the ground to analyze your soil and a mobile application that displays your soil’s data directly on your smartphone. The only catch is that the sensor must be in range of a Wi-Fi signal so that it can send its soil analysis to the companion smartphone app through the cloud. Soil IQ backs up your soil’s data in the cloud as well so you can look at long-term trends and find out the best ways to handle your garden in the future. Aramburu’s system even has an alerts feature that will notify on your phone if your plants need immediate attention.
Many people try to grow food in gardens or on small farms, but not all of them are tech-savvy. Those without experience using smartphone apps should make sure they have good mobile tech support before trying out Aramburu’s system.
