Mission
AgriPulse is an open-source initiative based at Concordia University's Innovation Lab, focused on developing new technologies and systems to support regenerative agriculture. We design and deploy smart IoT and tech solutions for regenerative agriculture. From water level sensors to modular hothouse systems, we help farmers restore soil health and optimize their workflow.

002
Thermographic Livestock Tracking
Thermographic Imaging for geographical and physiological livestock monitoring. Used as a tool for quickly finding animals that have escaped their paddock and monitor health issues in various animals.

003
Modular Greenhouse Systems
Three interconnected structures that create a modular, efficient and accessible hothouse system. The system comprises a plant nursery, washing area, and drying zone, each with their own reconfigurable design.

Approach
01
Completely Open-Source
Every schematic, 3D model, and line of code we produce is public. Our goal is to help make Regenerative Agriculture more accessible and affordable. Knowledge hoarding is antithetical to the greater mission of improving soil health.
02
Farmers First
We design with farmers, not for them. Every prototype is designed in consultation of real Canadian farmers. We are in a constant process of testing our designs on the ground and incorporating feedback from multiple farmers.
03
Aligned with Nature
Our devices are ears, not controllers. We build instruments that amplify nature’s signals, not tools that override them or manipulate them.
04
Long-Horizon Thinking
Soil health operates on decades-long cycles. Similarly, we design systems with long-term thinking in mind. We strive to tackle root causes of problems instead of temporary symptoms.
