Insights
- Crop genetics stood out in this AgriTech funding list, with Aardaia, Rainbow Crops and Resurrect Bio raising about $27.4M combined for seed and trait innovation.
- Precision agriculture remained highly investable, with Stenon, Picketa, Sensie and Perplant all targeting better input decisions through soil, crop or tractor-based sensing.
- Europe dominated the latest AgriTech fundraising activity, accounting for 8 of the 12 deals across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Denmark and the UK.
- Biological crop protection kept gaining momentum, as B-COS and Agriodor both raised capital for alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides.
- Round sizes were very uneven, with Innovafeed and Stenon representing the largest capital needs because both companies are scaling more complex infrastructure or hardware-heavy models.
- Farm-gate data infrastructure is becoming more strategic, as Leaf Agriculture raised a Series B to power AI tools across machinery, soil, weather and farm management data.
- Livestock technology was less frequent but still relevant, with 701x raising more than $10M for cattle GPS, animal health monitoring and herd management software.
As this chart shows, and as featured in our AgriTech market deck, search interest in indoor farming has been growing steadily
