Variable Electric Field Treatment (VEFt) seed technology that mimics lightning to boost crop yields and resilience sustainably.
Rainstick applies Variable Electric Field Treatment to seeds before planting to mimic the natural effects of lightning, aiming to increase yields, improve climate resilience, and reduce water use without changing farming infrastructure or practices. Inspired by 10,000-year-old Maiawali First Nations traditions from Queensland, Australia, it has been independently tested by CSIRO and is being developed in partnership with producers and scientific institutions to address global food security and sustainability targets. Rainstick is a product of Rainstick.
