Mesur.io Inc. is a company focused on developing innovative solutions for measuring and monitoring in-ground environmental data. Founded in 2016 and based in Danville, Virginia, it offers a product called Earthstream, which specializes in calibrating and transmitting agricultural data. The company also features an analytics platform that integrates this data with various external sources, such as soil and plant databases, satellite imagery, and weather forecasts, to deliver actionable insights. Mesur.io's technology illuminates supply chains back to their raw materials and provides a risk score that assesses a supplier's ability to deliver products. This capability allows agricultural enterprises to better understand supply chain risks and optimize their operations, ultimately leading to cost savings in labor, water, and raw materials.

Picketa Systems Precision specializes in advanced plant tissue analysis technology that enables real-time evaluation of nutrient content in crops. By providing a system that eliminates turnaround time for analyzing plant samples, the company allows growers to make timely, data-driven decisions that enhance their agricultural practices. Its platform independently scans nutrient concentrations from plant tissues and soil, offering insights related to nutrient data, location-specific weather, and fertilizer application history. This information helps farmers manage fertilizer use effectively and optimize their crop yields season after season. Through its innovative approach, Picketa Systems Precision supports growers in tracking field performance and assessing the impact of different agricultural techniques and products.

Agrosmart S.A. is a leading developer of agricultural technology based in Campinas, Brazil, founded in 2014. The company specializes in creating a platform that enables the agriculture industry to monitor environmental variations such as rainfall and soil moisture. Agrosmart offers various solutions, including the Advanced Smart plan, which provides real-time information on irrigation, soil monitoring, and climatic conditions, as well as the Soil Smart plan for soil moisture tracking and the Climate Smart solution for weather forecasting. Additionally, the platform offers insights into pest and disease risks in the area. With a focus on enhancing productivity, sustainability, and climate resilience, Agrosmart supports over 100,000 farmers and the entire agricultural supply chain, achieving significant growth in recent years. The use of advanced technologies such as sensors, meteorological data, and satellite imaging allows farmers to make informed decisions and optimize their agricultural practices.

Arable is a developer of an integrated system for agriculture that helps digitize and optimize decisions from seed breeding to food production. The platform measures everything that matters to the crop, from the weather to the soil, to the plant itself by the use of a unique set of spectral and thermal sensors. This enables Arable to observe a crop’s development through the season and determine the onset of stress due to a lack of water or nutrients. Its integrated hardware, agronomic modeling, and software suite is enabling farmers, agronomists, researchers, processors, and food companies to understand the crop system at the plant, field, and region level, which helps to reduce risk, improve productivity, and optimize for sustainability. Arable received recognition, including the Irrigation Association’s Best New Product of 2018, Plug & Play’s Top 10 Ag Tech Companies to Watch in 2019, and THRIVE’s Top 50 Companies for 2020 awards.
