The 11 Agriculture and Farming startups tracked here represent rounds closed between October 2021 and May 2025, all headquartered in Toronto. Stormfisher Biogas dominates by disclosed capital at $50M (February 2025, Series Unknown), with Elevate Farms and Wittaya Aqua each raising $3M in consecutive weeks during July 2024. Sub-sectors range from biogas and vertical farming to aquaculture nutrition software, reforestation drones, and cellular agriculture — a breadth visible in names like CELL AG TECH (grant recipient, May 2022) and Liven Proteins (Series Unknown, $150K, June 2023).
Round stage labels skew toward Series Unknown and Seed, reflecting the early-stage character of most entries. Two companies — Grain Discovery and Just Vertical — closed with undisclosed amounts, while the rest of the disclosed figures span from $10K (Genuine Taste, March 2024) to Stormfisher's $50M outlier. Most rounds outside that outlier sit below $400K, placing the majority of this cohort firmly in pre-growth or early-venture territory.
