10 Swiss Startups Shaping the Future of Farming and Agribusiness

As population growth increases the need to improve food production, tech startups are developing agricultural software and services, new farming techniques and monitoring tools to apply data to the sector, boost yields and making the industry more environmentally friendly. Agritech is the use of technology in agriculture with the aim to improve yield, efficiency, and profitability. Agritech can be a product, a service or an application derived from agriculture that improves various input/output processes. Interest in technologies for agriculture will continue as farm management adopts data-driven agronomy. Digital imaging, sensors and artificial intelligence platforms are set to change farming from precision to 'predictive' agriculture. Robotics will be another factor, as wage-costs and labor-shortages drive producers to seek better ways to harvest, weed and protect their crops. From all these fields, we select ten Swiss agritech startups to put on your watchlist. Discover their innovative ideas below.
