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
