Among the 12 most recent funding rounds tracked for Italian agriculture and farming startups, Lombardia claims the highest regional concentration — Saturnalia (Giussago), Forever Bambù (Cernusco Sul Naviglio), Planet Farms (Milan), and 3Bee (Fino Mornasco) all operate from the region. The two standout disclosed rounds are Planet Farms' $40M raise in November 2023 and Ecopol's $19M in March 2023, both well above the early-stage activity visible elsewhere in the set, such as Saturnalia's $660K Pre-Seed in April 2025 and Ittinsect's $670K Pre-Seed in February 2023.
Deal flow spans March 2021 through April 2025, with the densest cluster — five rounds — closing in 2023. Round-type labeling is inconsistent throughout: most entries carry a "Series Unknown" designation, three companies (Evja in Naples, Lualtek in Comiso, and Finapp in Padova) have undisclosed amounts, and Agricooltur (Cascina, Toscana) stands as the only confirmed Series A in this group.

What funding stages are most of these companies at?
