Precision Irrigation & Crop Water Management
Crop water use measurement using plant-based sensors and AI. Based in Davis, CA. Measures actual crop evapotranspiration for real-time irrigation decision support.
Tule Technologies is a Davis, California-based agricultural technology company that has developed a unique approach to precision irrigation: measuring actual crop water use directly from plant canopy sensors rather than relying solely on weather-based evapotranspiration models. The company's proprietary sensor technology measures vapor pressure above plant canopies to calculate actual crop ET (evapotranspiration) in real time.\n\nThis plant-based sensing approach allows growers to see exactly how much water their crops are consuming under current field conditions — accounting for the complex interactions of microclimate, soil variability, and crop development stage that weather-station models often miss. The platform delivers this data through a simple dashboard with irrigation recommendations, helping growers in water-stressed regions like California's Central Valley optimize every acre-inch of applied water.\n\nTule serves growers of high-value crops including almonds, pistachios, wine grapes, and processing tomatoes, where precise water management has both significant economic and regulatory implications. As California's water regulations tighten, Tule's ability to provide defensible, crop-specific water use data positions it as a critical compliance and optimization tool for irrigated agriculture.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
