Indigo Agriculture uses microbial seed treatments and a grain marketplace to help farmers improve crop performance, sustainability, and market access.
Indigo Agriculture is an agricultural technology company founded in 2014 in Boston that has raised over $850M to apply microbiome science to improve crop productivity and farmer profitability. The company develops microbial seed treatments derived from beneficial bacteria and fungi naturally associated with plants, which improve crop resilience to heat, drought, and disease when applied to seeds before planting. Indigo also operates Indigo Marketplace, a digital grain marketplace that connects farmers with buyers for premium grains with sustainability attributes, enabling farmers to earn higher prices for crops grown with lower chemical inputs. The company launched the Terraton Initiative, a carbon program that pays farmers for verified carbon sequestration through improved soil practices. Indigo has faced the challenges common to agricultural technology companies in demonstrating consistent field performance across diverse farm conditions and has restructured its business model to focus on its highest-performing products and services. The company continues to develop microbial products for corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton while building its digital marketplace and carbon program businesses.
