statement

Mapping Tech Ltd. (MT)


Mapping Tech Ltd. (MT ), owned by Jackie Beasley, was founded in 2010. MT originally wrote
software to help farmers use drones for aerial mapping, which allows for precision agriculture.
With the information gathered from aerial mapping, farmers can determine which areas of
their farms need more (or less) human attention, such as more (or less) fertilizer and what
types of fertilizer to use. Through precision agriculture, farmers can increase yields, lower
costs and reduce the environmental impact of farming. Later, MT began to manufacture
hardware related to precision agriculture.
Jackie founded MT when studying computer science at the University of Nebraska (UoN),
located in Lincoln, Nebraska, United States of America (USA). One major focus of UoN is the
use of drones for precision agriculture. Jackie saw the benefits of aerial mapping as well as the
positive impact that precision agriculture has on the environment: with the world’s population
growing and humans’ total ecological footprint increasing, she believed that precision
agriculture could increase the food supply and reduce environmental impact. With her
expertise in software mapping, Jackie felt a responsibility to advance the field of precision
agriculture.
