IntegriT Agri-Sense was started in 2015 by Mr Theo Pistorius,
following an Imvelisi Initiative entrepreneurship and ideation week.
These are the key attributes we look for in our directors and partners.
So with each of our partners' unique blend of skills, knowledge and experience, you can rest assured that you are in the best of hands.
Theo Pistorius is a junior lecturer in Earth Observation and Satellite Remote Sensing at Stellenbosch University, and a graduate of the same institution.
He has presented research on disruptive technologies such as UAV technology, ad hoc sensors, and utilising social media and crowd-sourcing in remote sensing, at (amongst others) the International Geography and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) in Quebec, Canada, in 2014.
His experience includes projects in
engineering, disaster management, water and agriculture mapping and sensing, and plant stress assessment through multi- and hyperspectral remote sensing.

We have partnered with Stellenbosch University's Department of Geography and Environmental Studies,
the top biodiversity, GIS and remote sensing department in South Africa.
Stellenbosch University, and its sub-unit, the Centre for Geographic Analysis
(creators of the SUDEM, South Africa’s only fine-scale DEM),
have also signed on as strategic education partners,
meaning that, while they manage advanced services
and provide educational services to those funded by
IntegriSense,
we will contribute to research and skills-development, and provide high-resolution data
for research, product and student training purposes.
