Elaniti secures investment to promote sustainable agriculture

Innovation for regenerative agriculture. Biotechnology and AI to help farmers become more sustainable and productive.

London, March 2025 - UK agritech startup Elaniti has successfully closed a new round of funding. Investors include biotope by VIB, Planetary Impact Ventures and PINC, the CVC arm of the Paulig Group. The funds will be used to further develop a digital decision tool that uses AI and DNA sequencing to decode the microbial composition of soil and help farmers optimize their yields.

Soil is the foundation of our food production, but modern agriculture has taken a toll on its health. Our technology helps farmers to farm more sustainably and maintain soil fertility in the long term.

Soil intelligence for sustainable agriculture

While chemical and physical soil properties are regularly measured, microbial activity is often overlooked. Elaniti closes this knowledge gap by linking microbial data with agronomic factors such as yield and disease pressure. This enables more precise decisions, reduces the use of synthetic agents and strengthens soil resilience.

Next steps: scaling up and product development

Understanding soil microbiomes is crucial for regenerative agriculture. Elaniti can decode this complexity and translate it into practical guidance for farmers.

With the fresh capital, Elaniti will expand its team, intensify research and bring its platform to market faster. Partnerships with agribusiness companies will ensure that the knowledge gained can be used in practice.
