About Arable

At Arable, our mission is to connect all the world’s farms and provide the highest-quality data to

power predictive analytics, optimizing the global food system. The need to rethink how we feed an

ever-growing population and manage our natural resources has never been greater. We believe the

heart of the solution lies in digitizing the analog world with high-fidelity data to help food producers

optimize their operations. If successful, our work will enhance the lives of farmers, mitigate

greenhouse gas emissions, and make a significant contribution to securing the global food supply for

decades to come.

Examples of our work:

- Helping farmers in Nebraska manage water more efficiently and sustainably

- Building agricultural climate data networks in Africa to help farmers adapt to climate

change.

- Providing California farmers with tools to save water, reduce risk, and minimize waste
