WHAT THEY DO
Agrology leverages a suite of sensors, artificial intelligence, and machine learning capabilities to optimize high-value crop management and minimize climate risk. Their software and hardware-as-a-service model collects data and provides predictive insights that empower growers to be proactive in resisting and adapting to climate-related threats such as fire, extreme weather, pests, disease, and drought.
WHY WE’RE EXCITED
The agriculture sector accounts for 13% of the world’s total emissions. Currently, crop management solutions are extremely fragmented and don’t account for a changing climate. With current carbon monitoring technologies, the ROI on agricultural carbon credits is too low for growers to offset the costs of implementing regenerative agriculture.
Agrology’s one-stop-shop platform is the first to provide continuous, data-driven signals that help growers understand, quantify, and improve their impact while streamlining operations. By providing real-time, accurate environmental risk data, growers are able to make quick decisions regarding yield and inventory. The carbon monitoring function allows growers to fully quantify soil carbon sequestration to better align them with regenerative farming certifications – unlocking a suite of carbon credit opportunities.
FOUNDER SPOTLIGHT
“By changing agricultural practices, farmers can take carbon out of the atmosphere and store it in the soil at an utterly massive scale, very quickly.”
