About

Our values

🔬

Scientific rigour

Every solution is based on validated models and robust methods.

🌱

Field proximity

We design with end users, not for them.

📈

Sustainable impact

Our tools are designed to be adopted and to scale.

🤝

Equity & inclusion

Accessible solutions adapted to local contexts.

Founder

Dr Israël Tankam is a scientist and entrepreneur specialised in agronomic modelling, data analysis and artificial intelligence applied to precision agriculture and the environment. His work focuses in particular on plant disease modelling, integrated pest management, climate data analysis, input optimisation, yield optimisation and the development of decision-support tools for sustainable agriculture. He has developed a particular expertise in extracting robust insights from limited data by combining observations with prior knowledge through hypothetico-deductive modelling, Bayesian inference, hierarchical modelling and hybrid approaches-methods especially suited to contexts such as Sub-Saharan Africa, where data availability is often scarce but informed decision-making remains critical. Before founding Scale.Ag, he worked in international research and the development of digital solutions for precision agriculture and the digital transition of agricultural and agri-food sectors, earlier in human health. 📄
