£205KPre-Seed

Pastoral develops regenerative farming technology that provides real-time data insights for livestock producers. The platform helps farmers improve profitability while reducing their environmental footprint.

London-based agricultural technology startup Pastoral has secured £205k in pre-seed funding. The round was led by SFC Capital, with additional participation from Sturgeon Capital.

The newly secured capital will be directed towards team expansion and ongoing development of the company platform. Pastoral intends to scale its user base across North America, Europe, and Central Asia over the coming year.

The platform originally took shape through a partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, benefiting from grant funding and incubator support before launching commercially to assist livestock producers with sustainability tracking.

From the founder

"We are thrilled to have the support of the UNDP as we work to revolutionise the livestock farming and ranching industry. Our goal is to make regenerative farming accessible to everyone, and we believe we can make that a reality,"

Investor perspective

"Livestock producers require advanced technology to optimise their business, and in the near future, measuring their carbon footprint will become mandatory. SFC Capital recognised this need and aided in backing Pastoral in their journey to become the leading regenerative farming solution,"
