Elaniti Raises Funding to Accelerate Soil Microbiome Intelligence, Enabling the Transition to Regenerative Farming

Elaniti, a British agritech startup, has secured funding to launch a digital tool that decodes the microbial composition of soil using AI and DNA sequencing. This tool will help farmers optimize productivity in the short and long term, reduce reliance on synthetic inputs, and transition towards sustainable, regenerative agriculture. The funding round included participants like biotope by VIB, Planetary Impact Ventures, and Paulig Group’s CVC arm, PINC, along with previous funding from Innovate UK.

By focusing on the biological activity of soil microbes, Elaniti's technology aims to fill a crucial gap in agriculture knowledge. With a growing interest in regenerative agriculture worldwide, Elaniti's insights could help farmers build healthier, more resilient soils, leading to increased self-sufficiency in food production. The company plans to use the funding to strengthen its team, expand research efforts, and partner with agribusiness leaders to ensure practical applicability of its predictive analytics platform in real-world conditions.
