Avalo is a plant biology company that harnesses interpretable machine learning, genomic discovery, and evolutionary theory to rapidly design new crops for the future of agriculture. Their process uses AI-assisted plant breeding, so all products are non-GMO and support the natural diversity of the world around us. The technological core of Avalo is a discovery engine that can identify the genetic underpinnings of complex traits with minimal training. In turn, these findings are leveraged into high-precision, low-cost simulations and forecasts. Even in understudied crops, Avalo can reduce the time that it takes to produce new crops by years and reduce the cost by an order of magnitude.

Crop Diagnostix builds the future of predictive agriculture.

The lack of skilled labor in agriculture has led to an over-reliance on capital intensive machinery, synthetic chemicals, and simplified agricultural practices. This has led to a variety of bad effects from current agriculture, including on the environment, food quality, and farmer profitability. In addition, the increasing unpredictability of weather and frequent extreme weather events are damaging our ability to provide the growing global population with food security. To address these problems, EarthSense has developed an agricultural robotics and AI platform with three key applications: (1) developing the next generation of more productive and sustainable crops, (2) helping growers obtain actionable intelligence from their fields, and (3) managing problems like herbicide resistant weeds. The EarthSense platform is built to be modular and easily extensible so that other people can easily participate in innovating in the next generation of robotics and AI technology. As a result, our agricultural AI platform will enable a climate-smart agricultural system, improve plant and soil health, and drive a reduction in the use of chemicals and other expensive inputs.

Earthshot Labs brings together investors, carbon buyers, and land stewards in an AI-powered platform to finance ecological restoration projects that are equitable for local communities.

Edacious is a Public Benefit Corporation that develops a radical transparency-based food verification system.
