Regenerative Agriculture Platforms

Technology for a regenerative future in agriculture

Overview

Regenerative agriculture platforms—also referred to as carbon farming platforms—support farmers in adopting regenerative practices, such as no-till or reduced-till techniques, cover cropping, crop rotation, and agroforestry. These practices aim to restore soil health, protect the climate, and support plant growth, nutrient cycling, and water retention while increasing farms' productivity and profitability. These platforms often use data analytics, IoT devices, and carbon sequestration techniques such as photosynthesis or microbial technology to offer particular regenerative practices and support the development of carbon farms. 

Regenerative agriculture platforms have gained traction due to their focus on protecting natural resources and addressing environmental challenges, such as soil erosion, water pollution, and habitat loss. The growing consumer demand for sustainably produced food and the desire for transparency in agricultural practices have also played a significant role in driving the use of regenerative agriculture platforms.

Industry scope

This industry focuses on companies developing platforms for: 
  1. Soil monitoring & analytics: Soil carbon: Platforms using IoT devices and machine-learning algorithms to measure and analyze soil carbon levels 
  2. Soil monitoring & analytics: Other: Platforms using IoT devices and machine-learning algorithms to measure and analyze other key soil parameters, such as fertility, moisture content, temperature, and nutrient concentrations 
  3. Carbon farm planning: Platforms that support farmers with planning and designing farms with regenerative practices. Included are platforms that provide consultancy services to create awareness of regenerative agriculture practices and assist farmers to shift to regenerative agriculture 
  4. Carbon farm monitoring: Platforms powered by AI and machine learning that support farmers in adopting regenerative practices, such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and no-till operations. Certain platforms also support regenerative farmers financially via carbon credits 
  5. Soil carbon sequestration: Platforms supporting the process of promoting soil health through soil carbon removal (soil carbon sequestration) via photosynthesis or by employing live microalgae 
  6. Marketplace operators: Platforms connecting farmers, investors, resource providers, and other stakeholders related to regenerative agriculture
However, we exclude the following areas when selecting companies for this industry:
  1. Natural farm inputs: Platforms that support biopesticides and natural fertilizers, which enhance the fertility, structure, and overall health of the soil (covered under Biopesticides and Natural Fertilizers hubs) 
  2. Carbon marketplace: Platforms that offer a marketplace to buy and sell carbon credits (covered in Carbon Management Software: Carbon Marketplace)
  3. Lending platforms: Companies offering financial support to farmers engaged in regenerative agriculture (covered under P2P Financial Platforms: P2P Lending) 
  4. Remote sensing and imaging: Remote sensing technologies, including satellite imagery and drones, providing detailed and real-time information on crop health (covered under Smart Farming: Drones and Satellites Imagery)
  5. Livestock monitoring: Platforms that improve the productivity, capacity, welfare, or management of animals and livestock (covered under Smart Farming: Livestock Monitoring & Analytics) 
  6. Crop monitoring & analytics: Platforms that monitor crop health and measure crop performance and water use (covered under Smart Farming: Crop Monitoring & Analytics
  7. Agribots/Tractors: Companies producing autonomous tractors and smart equipment for precision agriculture, minimizing chemicals, soil disturbance, and enhancing efficiency (covered under Smart Farming: Agribots/ Tractors)
Currently, we do not actively cover this industry, but we have identified it as a potential industry to cover. For the list of industries in our coverage, please visit https://sp-edge.com/industries
