Insights
- Just two regenerative agriculture companies, Halter and Nofence, accounted for $135 million out of roughly $322 million raised across all five quarters, meaning about 42% of total funding went to livestock-automation alone.
- Q2 2025 looked like a breakout quarter with $155 million raised, but strip out Halter's $100 million Series D and the quarter drops to a more modest $55 million, roughly in line with the others.
- India emerged as the most active single country for regenerative agriculture investment, producing four sizeable rounds: Alt Carbon, Grow Indigo, Two Brothers Organic Farms, and Varaha.
- Biochar attracted more individual deals than any other single sub-category, with at least four companies (CarbonZero.Eco, Qualterra, Terraton, and Alt Carbon's ERW equivalent) raising funds across different quarters.
- Carbon finance and transition platforms stayed consistently active across all five quarters, the only category to appear in every single quarter of this window.
- The average deal size across all 21 rounds was roughly $15 million, but the median was far lower, suggesting a market still shaped by many small bets and a handful of large convictions.
- Q1 2025 was the most deal-rich quarter with nine rounds, yet it raised the least total capital, which shows the early part of the year was driven by seed-stage activity rather than growth rounds.
- Europe contributed the most companies to this list (7 out of 21), reflecting how EU climate policy and the Common Agricultural Policy reform are pushing capital toward regenerative agriculture solutions.
- No single investor appeared in more than two deals across the entire five-quarter window, which suggests the regenerative agriculture investor base is still fragmented with no dominant lead.
- Soil health and biological inputs attracted the most individual deals (8 companies), yet the total raised by this category ($64.75 million) was less than half what grazing automation alone pulled in, pointing to a seed-heavy, early-stage dynamic in soil biotech.

Summary table of the funding deals in the regenerative agriculture market (last 5 quarters)
We define the regenerative agriculture market as the set of farming activities and supporting solutions that intentionally improve soil health, biodiversity and water while producing food, feed, fibre or biomass.
We include farms that apply core regenerative practices at scale, plus the specialised inputs, advisory services, digital tools and finance mechanisms that directly enable those practices and measure their outcomes.
We exclude generic sustainable or organic farming with no clear regenerative criteria, conventional inputs used without regenerative intent, and downstream consumer products whose only link to regeneration is a marketing claim.

How has funding activity in the regenerative agriculture market changed over time?
Q2 2025 was the most active quarter by total capital, with $155 million raised, but that figure was almost entirely driven by Halter's $100 million Series D, which alone outweighed every other quarter combined.
Q1 2026 was the quietest quarter with just one deal closed, though the window only covers the first few months of the year and more rounds are likely still in process.
Compared to Q4 2025, Q1 2026 saw a drop of roughly 83% in total funding, and compared to Q1 2025 a year earlier, Q1 2026 was down about 86% in raw dollars, though deal counts in both comparison quarters were naturally much higher.
If you strip out the two largest deals per quarter, the underlying regenerative agriculture funding market looks much more stable, with most quarters sitting between $20 million and $40 million, suggesting consistent mid-stage investment appetite beneath the headline noise.
| Quarter | Number of deals | Total raised ($M) | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 9 | $57.4M | The most active quarter by deal count, dominated by seed and early-stage rounds across soil biology and biochar. |
| Q2 2025 | 4 | $155.2M | The highest-capital quarter by far, almost entirely driven by Halter's $100M Series D. |
| Q3 2025 | 4 | $53.25M | Balanced quarter with Nofence's $35M Series B anchoring results alongside two smaller deals. |
| Q4 2025 | 3 | $47.9M | A quieter quarter driven by Varaha's $30.5M raise and two smaller deals in France and India. |
| Q1 2026 | 1 | $8.3M | Only one disclosed deal so far this quarter; still early in the year with more rounds likely pending. |
| All quarters | 21 | $322.1M | Total across the five-quarter window, heavily skewed by two outlier deals. |

Which startups in the regenerative agriculture market raised the largest rounds over the last months?
These startups raised the most recently in the regenerative agriculture market:
- Halter raised $100 million in a Series D led by BOND because its virtual fencing and rotational grazing platform had proven strong commercial traction in New Zealand and was ready to scale aggressively in the US market.
- Nofence raised $35 million in a Series B led by the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund because GPS-based virtual fencing is a capital-light replacement for physical fencing that directly enables adaptive regenerative grazing at scale.
- NeoFarm raised $32.4 million to launch industrial-scale robotic agroecological farms in Europe, backed by ADEME Investissement and Eurazeo, because its model combines organic production with automation in a way that makes local regenerative farming commercially viable.
- Varaha raised $30.5 million from Mirova to scale regenerative agriculture and verified carbon removal projects among hundreds of thousands of Indian smallholder farmers, backed by growing corporate demand for high-integrity nature-based carbon credits.
- MyLand raised $23 million led by Proterra Investment Partners to expand contracted deployments of its live microalgae soil treatment, which improves yields and water retention for growers in the US and internationally.
- Two Brothers Organic Farms raised $13 million led by 360 ONE Asset to expand its farmer-owned regenerative food brand into manufacturing, tech, and international markets.

In our regenerative agriculture market deck, we answer all the common questions from investors and entrepreneurs
Is the regenerative agriculture market shifting toward smaller or bigger deals?
Across all 21 deals in the regenerative agriculture market over these five quarters, the average deal size was roughly $15.3 million, but that figure is dragged upward by a small number of very large rounds.
The average deal size shifted dramatically by quarter, from $6.4 million in Q1 2025 to $38.8 million in Q2 2025, then back down to $13.3 million in Q3 2025 and $16.0 million in Q4 2025 -- this swing reflects how much a single large regenerative agriculture deal can move the quarterly average when the overall deal count is low.
If you exclude the top two deals per quarter from the regenerative agriculture funding picture, the underlying average stabilises somewhere between $4 million and $10 million, which points to a market still mostly driven by seed and early Series A activity rather than a structural shift toward bigger checks.
| Quarter | Number of deals | Average deal size ($M) | Deals below $2M | Deals above $50M |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 9 | $6.4M | 2 | 0 |
| Q2 2025 | 4 | $38.8M | 0 | 1 |
| Q3 2025 | 4 | $13.3M | 1 | 0 |
| Q4 2025 | 3 | $16.0M | 0 | 0 |
| Q1 2026 | 1 | $8.3M | 0 | 0 |
| All quarters | 21 | $15.3M | 3 | 1 |
In our regenerative agriculture market deck, we help you understand how the market is structured
How concentrated was funding activity in the regenerative agriculture market?
Funding in the regenerative agriculture market was highly concentrated in every single quarter: the top one deal per quarter captured between 40% and 100% of that quarter's total capital, which means the quarterly headline number almost always reflects one company's outcome, not the market's overall momentum.
This pattern is common in early-stage climate-tech markets, where a few breakout companies attract institutional rounds while the majority of deals remain at seed stage, and it suggests that the regenerative agriculture market is still building the depth needed to produce consistent mid-market deal flow.
| Quarter | Number of deals | % by Top 1 | % by Top 3 | % by Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 2025 | 9 | 40.1% | 71.6% | 100.0% |
| Q2 2025 | 4 | 64.4% | 93.0% | 100.0% |
| Q3 2025 | 4 | 65.7% | 97.2% | 100.0% |
| Q4 2025 | 3 | 63.7% | 100.0% | 100.0% |
| Q1 2026 | 1 | 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% |
| All quarters | 21 | 31.1% | 58.4% | 93.8% |

Which categories in the regenerative agriculture market received the most funding?
Grazing automation and livestock management captured $135 million, or about 42% of all regenerative agriculture funding in this window, driven entirely by two companies (Halter and Nofence) that proved hardware-plus-software regenerative grazing tools can attract institutional-scale capital once commercial traction is established.
Soil health, biochar, and on-farm biological infrastructure raised $64.75 million across eight deals, making it the broadest category by deal count in the regenerative agriculture market, though its average deal size of roughly $8 million reflects that most companies here are still at seed or early growth stage.
Carbon finance, MRV, and regenerative transition platforms raised $55.7 million across four deals in India, Europe, and Estonia, showing that the software and financing layer enabling farmers to get paid for regenerative outcomes is attracting consistent cross-regional investment.
| Category name | Number of deals | Total raised ($M) | Startups and amounts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grazing automation and livestock management | 2 | $135.0M | Halter ($100M); Nofence ($35M) |
| Soil health, biochar and on-farm biological infrastructure | 8 | $64.75M | MyLand ($23M); Alt Carbon ($12M); Terraton ($11.5M); Soil Action ($5.25M); Qualterra ($4.5M); CarbonZero.Eco ($3.5M); CroBio ($0.9M); AdvancedAg ($2M) |
