Agreenculture raises €6 million to accelerate the necessary shift to autonomous machines & tractors in agriculture

Toulouse, December 16th, 2025

Agreenculture, a French-based startup specializing in the autonomy and safety of agricultural machinery and tractors, has raised €6 million in a Series A equity round from Supernova Invest, Future Food Fund and Unilis (Unigrains Group). Alongside this funding round, Agreenculture has secured a credit facility from Crédit Agricole Toulouse 31.

The capital injection will enable the company to enhance, standardize, and industrialize its products for rapid integration, while strengthening its commercial deployment. This growth will reinforce Agreenculture’s ability to support agricultural machinery and tractor manufacturers (OEMs) in deploying safe and reliable autonomous machines, while broadening access to autonomous machinery across multiple markets.

“Our ambition for every manufacturer is to provide a simple and safe autonomy kit capable of operating without local supervision in the field, delivering tangible performance gains and generating cost and time savings for farmers,” says Christophe Aubé, CEO of Agreenculture.


Addressing labour shortages in agriculture

As agriculture faces a growing shortage of skilled labour, farm and land management increasingly require safe automation solutions that leverage task management, improve operational efficiency, and enhance profitability.

Agreenculture provides OEMs with a plug-and-play AGC Autonomy Kit that ensures the precision, autonomy, and safety of machines and tractors. Thanks to Safencing®, machines can operate independently without local supervision. This enables farmers to trust machine performance, extend operating hours, and remotely monitor field operations.

“We want manufacturers to focus on their core business. We bring them a reliable, interoperable, ready-to-use product to accelerate the deployment of autonomy in the fields,” explains Clément Baron, CTO of Agreenculture.

These solutions help farmers save time, increase productivity and operational efficiency, and protect operators’ health.


Shift from conventional to regenerative farming

Autonomy also enables a shift towards more sustainable farming practices. Soil compaction can be reduced by replacing large machines with multiple smaller ones, fuel consumption can be minimized, cover cropping becomes more affordable, and the application of fertilizers and pesticides becomes more precise.

Jeroen Kimmels, Managing Partner at Future Food Fund, commented:
“As an impact-focused food and agri investor, we were early investors in autonomous tractors and machinery and have followed this space closely. These technologies should not merely relieve farmers from driving tasks, but represent a unique opportunity to fundamentally change how farming is done. We see the Agreenculture management team as true visionaries, leading the transition from conventional to regenerative farming.”


A certified, ready-to-integrate solution for manufacturers

Agreenculture is the first technology supplier to offer a safe and certifiable Autonomy Kit. The AGC Autonomy Kit enables machines to operate without local supervision thanks to Safencing®, a secure geofencing system that ensures machines and their tools remain within defined virtual boundaries.

Using S-RTK positioning, the AGC Autonomy Kit is fully compliant with European regulations and can be easily integrated by machinery manufacturers for off-road autonomous navigation.

“Agreenculture stands at the forefront of autonomous farming technologies. Their certified, safety-first approach is a decisive advantage for manufacturers seeking reliable automation solutions. We are proud to support a team whose technology is poised to become a market standard in Europe and beyond,” said Romain Sautrau, Partner at Supernova Invest.


Already adopted by industry leaders

Founded by Christophe Aubé (CEO), Clément Baron (CTO) and Emmanuel Goua de Baix (GNSS expert), Agreenculture collaborates with leading agricultural machinery manufacturers, including Pellenc with the RX20 vineyard crawler, Kubota with the M7 tractor for field crops and the KFAST sprayer for orchards, and Kuhn with the Karl field robot. The company also works with innovative players such as Fieldworkers and Trabotyx, developer of the autonomous laser weeding robot TOR.

These partnerships demonstrate how Agreenculture’s expertise and solutions help OEMs accelerate the market launch of certified autonomous machines.

Jean-François Hurel, Director of Unilis Agtech, added:
“As a farmer-backed investor focused on innovations for field crops, we support technologies that allow producers to spend more time on high-value agronomic decisions while safely and reliably automating repetitive tasks. Beyond addressing labour constraints, Agreenculture contributes meaningfully to the productive and sustainable transition of agricultural operations. We look forward to supporting the company in this new phase of its development.”
