Verdi

Verdi is a Canadian agriculture technology startup building the platform to help global agriculture adapt to climate change. We have developed the first scalable smart systems to tackle agriculture's most critical challenge: water scarcity. Due to outdated and inefficient irrigation infrastructure, water is running out for agriculture, an industry accounting for 70% of global water usage. Our proprietary technology augments legacy irrigation systems with plant-level healthcare and automation capabilities, allowing farmers to dramatically improve crop productivity and reduce water risk. Verdi works with the world's largest and most well-known food and beverage brands to bring climate-resilient operations to their fields. We are on track to save over 7 million liters of water for our customers this year. We have raised $2.6M from leading investors such as THRIVE/SVG Ventures, Startup Haven, and Alchemist Accelerator. We strive to create products that are trustworthy, affordable, and customer-oriented. Every decision we make is weighed against these goals. Our customers rely on us to provide tools that perform mission-critical tasks in the field, from complex and targeted irrigations to tracking water use across their farms.
