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 machines and tractors 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 working without local supervision in the field. Providing tangible performance gains and generating cost and time savings for farmers." affirms Christophe Aubé, CEO of Agreenculture.
Addressing labour shortages in agriculture
Facing skilled labour shortage, farm and land management require safe automation solutions leveraging task management operations and improving 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 the Safencing®, machines can operate independently, without local supervision. This allows farmers to trust in their performance, benefit from longer operating hours, and monitor tasks remotely.
"We want manufacturers to focus on their core business. We bring them a reliable, interoperable, ready-to-use product and to accelerate the deployment of autonomy in the fields." explains Clément Baron, CTO of Agreenculture.
These solutions help farmers through saving time, increasing operational efficiency and productivity, while protecting operators’ health.
Shift from conventional to regenerative farming
Moreover, with autonomy, soil compaction can be reduced by replacing big machines by multiple small ones, fuel consumption can be minimized, cover cropping becomes more affordable, and application of fertilizer and pesticides becomes even more precise.
Jeroen Kimmels, Managing Partner at Future Food Fund:
“As an impact food & agri investor, we were an early investor in and have followed the developments of autonomous tractors and machines closely. Autonomous tractors and machines should not be seen simply as a way to relieve farmers of the burden of driving, but as a unique opportunity to change the way farming is done. We regard the management of Agreenculture as visionaries, spearheading this shift 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. Utilizing the S-RTK positioning system, 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 world-renowned agricultural manufacturers, including Pellenc with the RX20 vineyard crawler, Kubota with the M7 tractor for field crops and the KFAST sprayer for orchards, Kuhn with the Karl field robot or with cutting edge companies like Fieldworkers and Trabotyx with their autonomous laser weeding robot TOR.
These partnerships demonstrate how Agreenculture, with its expertise and solutions, helps OEMs accelerate the market launch of their 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 enable producers to spend more time on higher-value agronomic decisions and market opportunities – while safely and reliably automating repetitive tasks when it makes sense. Beyond responding to labour constraints, Agreenculture contributes to the productive and sustainable transition of agricultural operations. We look forward to supporting Agreenculture in this new stage of its development.”
