OneSoil Raises €1M to Grow Its AI-Powered Farming Platform

Precision agriculture has given growers more data than ever, but turning it into decisions still falls on the farmer. On a typical 1,000-hectare operation with more than 20 fields, keeping track of conditions on the ground means moving between satellite imagery, weather forecasts and agronomic records, then synthesizing all of it by hand. On thin margins, that daily synthesis becomes a time sink that competes with the work of actually running the farm.

AI Agronomist is built to close that gap. It pulls those streams into a single daily answer, delivered in minutes through a natural-language chat. The assistant flags zones that need immediate attention, such as areas hit by flooding or at risk of pest outbreaks, recommends what to do about them, and responds to questions on demand, like "What has changed in the last 48 hours?". According to user reports, OneSoil's tools have helped farmers save between $10 and $85 per hectare, depending on crop type. Beyond individual growers, its solutions are used by enterprise clients including Corteva, BASF, Cargill and Bayer.

"AI Agronomist is essentially an additional brain that remembers everything, calculates quickly, and provides the information needed to make operational decisions," said Stepan Zulynskyi, CEO of OneSoil. "Instead of 20 dashboards, farmers get just one good answer."

What sets the assistant apart is the data behind it. A multimodal AI agent combining large language models with vision-language models, it is trained on the satellite data OneSoil has accumulated since its founding in 2017, paired with proprietary models for identifying field boundaries, detecting crops and analyzing productivity zones. "What we've been doing all these years is learning how to process satellite data and extract meaningful agricultural insights, and now we've transferred that knowledge into the agent," said Katya Kheistver, CPO & COO at OneSoil. The company's own agronomists shaped its prompts and workflows, so the advice stays field-relevant rather than generic.

The launch comes as farmers worldwide face rising input costs driven in part by geopolitical instability, with European nitrogen fertilizer prices climbing sharply over the past year. Against that backdrop, OneSoil positions AI Agronomist as a way to protect output while spending less.
