To solve the issues related to the agriculture industry including soil health, labour shortage, transportation cost and sustainable irrigation, some great technologists and entrepreneurs are working really hard to eradicate these problems. And, investors are also helping them by funding their worthy ideas.
One such startup from France named Agricool has recently raised $28 million (around €25 million) in its latest round of funding. The startup competed with Bpifrance, Danone Manifesto Ventures, Marbeuf Capital and Solomon Hykes, among others and it is working on sustainable containers to grow fruits and vegetables in urban areas; starting with strawberries.
