Rainstick
Rainstick presents an innovative solution to the global agricultural challenge by combining ancient Indigenous wisdom with cutting-edge technology.
Their unique approach harnesses the power of Variable Electrical Field (VEF) technology to optimise crop yields and enhance sustainability in food production. Their solution draws inspiration from the 40,000-year-old practices of the Maiawali people, who used the ‘chugerra’ (rainstick) to influence weather systems for food cultivation.
Rainstick has modernised this concept, developing a proprietary VEF technology that mimics the effects of lightning and thunderstorms to stimulate biological switches in plants, resulting in accelerated growth and increased yields.

“Rainstick believes its technology can have a major impact for smallholder farmers. Our target in India will be to set up demonstration pilots with large not-for-profits or corporate value chain partners who gain downstream benefits from producers transitioning to non-chemical practices such as Rainstick’s clean and green seed treatment to boost productivity for small holder farmers.” – Darryl Lyons, Co-founder
