Agriculture is not the same as it was twenty years ago, and it won’t be the same twenty years from now. Climate conditions are changing. The world needs more food from the same arable land. Consumer preferences and regulations are evolving. Public expectations are rising and accountability matters more. And farmers need to respond to these changing dynamics - they are at the core of our food system and our planet.
Granular creates Farm Management Software and land valuation software, AcreValue, that empowers farms to become more valuable businesses, for today and for the future. We take a user-centric development and design approach to develop products that are simple to use that our farmers love! We are a startup funded by top investors (Andreessen and Horowitz, Google Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Tao Capital).
