Quick answer
Agriculture is funded through farm loans, government programs, equipment financing and, increasingly, equity from agtech investors. Established farms usually borrow against land and equipment, while agtech startups raise from angels, venture funds and strategic investors in the food and farming industry.
Farming is capital-intensive and seasonal: land, equipment and inputs are paid for long before a harvest is sold. Traditional farm lenders understand that cycle, while agricultural technology companies building new tools for growers raise money more like other startups.
PitchStreet lists agriculture, farming and agtech ventures raising money, and investors interested in food and farming.
Funding options in agriculture
Farm loans from agricultural lenders and government programs, such as the USDA Farm Service Agency in the United States
Equipment and land financing
Grants for conservation, research and rural development
Angel and venture investment for agtech: precision farming, irrigation, indoor growing, crop science and farm software
Strategic investment from food processors, equipment makers and agribusiness companies
What agriculture investors look for
For agtech, investors want proof that growers will adopt the product: field trials, yield or cost data and paying customers. For farm operations, lenders and investors look at land, equipment, yields, contracts with buyers and experience managing weather and price risk.

Are there grants for agriculture businesses?
Yes. Many governments and foundations fund conservation, research, rural development and new farmers. Availability and rules vary by country and region.
Can I list an agriculture project on PitchStreet?
