Agriculture technology (agtech) companies develop software and hardware systems that automate, manage and promote environmentally conscious farming. Businesses in agtech work on things like wireless sensors to monitor soil, air and animal health, hydroponic and aquaponic systems, remote-controlled irrigation systems, aerial photo technology to analyze field conditions, biotech platforms for crop yields, data-analysis software to augment planting, herd, poultry and livestock management, automation software to manage tasks and accounting software to manage expenses. VC-backed company Terramera fuses AI, science and nature to manufacture biopesticides meant to reduce the use of chemicals in agriculture.
