Collaborative Research on Olfaction Science in Agricultrure

Advancing science and sustainability through olfaction and regenerative agriculture

EcoPlanetFarm is a research-led platform integrating traditional agricultural knowledge with modern scientific inquiry. We invite partnerships from academic institutions, researchers, technology startups, and corporates who are interested in collaborative research and innovation in the domains of olfaction science, soil and plant health, regenerative farming, aroma-based wellness, and AI-driven diagnostics.

Olfaction Science in Agriculture
Researching volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by soil, plants, and microbes to understand plant health, stress responses, and ecological interactions.

Soil Microbiome and Sensory Intelligence
Developing scent-based assessment tools and models to monitor soil vitality, compost maturity, and biological activity through sensory data.

Fragrance Farming and Functional Wellbeing
Cultivating aromatic plants for therapeutic, emotional, and wellness applications in food, beauty, and nutraceutical products.

AI and Precision Olfactory Diagnostics
Partnering to integrate artificial intelligence with olfactory sensors (electronic noses) to detect early plant disease, monitor compost processes, and support smart farming systems.

Climate Resilience and Ecological Restoration
Applying olfaction-based indicators to monitor and restore degraded ecosystems, assess biodiversity health, and support carbon-positive land-use practices.

• Research projects led by MSc, PhD, Postdoctoral, or faculty teams
   
• Joint R&D under CSR, PPP, or industry-academia partnerships
   
• Product co-development and validation studies
   
• Proposal-based grant submissions (national/international)
   
• Sensor and technology trials for field applications
   
• Internships, fellowships, and visiting researcher programs
   

• Founded by a food technologist (CSIR–CFTRI) with training in Sustainability Engineering (IISc Bangalore)
   
• Active farm infrastructure with aromatic crops, native botanicals, and experimental plots
   
• Ongoing development of clean-label aromatherapy and wellness product lines
   
• Strong alignment with sustainable, regenerative, and well-being-driven R&D
   
• Open to co-creation of intellectual property, publications, and scalable innovations
   

• VOC profiling in soil, compost, and aromatic crops
   
• Field deployment of e-noses and scent sensors
   
• Predictive modeling using AI for agricultural diagnostics
   
• Development of fragrance-linked wellness applications
   
• Soil olfaction mapping and biological soil health assessment
   
• Aroma-focused traceability and transparency solutions
   
• Scent-based climate adaptation frameworks
   

We are currently seeking expressions of interest from:

• Universities, research centers, and scholars (India and abroad)
   
• Innovation hubs, accelerators, and technology incubators
   
• Wellness, beauty, agritech, and olfaction-based product developers
   
• Government programs or international agencies working on sustainable agriculture and biodiversity
