AgriSound is a precision agriculture technology company transforming how pollination is managed in commercial farming. Our proprietary bioacoustic algorithms and AI-powered analytics platform monitor pollinator activity in real time, giving growers unprecedented visibility into bee performance during critical flowering periods. This enables farmers and growers to make data-driven decisions that improve pollination efficiency, leading to increased crop yields, and reduce the risk of underperforming hives. Pollination contributes over $500 billion annually to global crop production, yet it remains largely unmanaged and highly variable. AgriSound is solving this problem by turning pollination into a measurable, optimisable input and bringing consistency, transparency, and performance tracking to a previously invisible process. The company has deployed its technology across multiple geographies and crop types, working with leading growers, agronomy groups, and global brands including M&S, Tesco. Early commercial projects have demonstrated measurable improvements in yield, cost efficiency, and operational decision-making whilst supporting nature-friendly outcomes. With a scalable hardware + data subscription model and strong strategic partnerships in development, AgriSound is positioned to become the global standard for precision pollination and pollinator intelligence.
Concept
AgriSound has developed a precision pollination platform that combines proprietary bioacoustic sensors with AI-driven analytics to monitor pollinator activity in real time. The system provides growers with actionable insights on bee performance during critical flowering periods, enabling them to optimise pollination, improve yield outcomes, and reduce operational risk. Beyond pollination performance, AgriSound’s technology also enables continuous monitoring of wider insect biodiversity within agricultural systems. By capturing soundscape data across crops and habitats, the platform provides a scalable, objective method for measuring biodiversity activity and tracking the impact of farming practices on pollinator populations. Since launching, AgriSound has progressed from R&D through to commercial deployment, with its technology now used across multiple crops including berries, orchard fruit, and field crops. The platform has been deployed across the UK and international markets, demonstrating its ability to operate at scale in diverse agricultural conditions. Key achievements include: • Commercial pilots with leading growers and global brands including M&S, AB InBev, and Innocent Drinks, supporting both pollination optimisation and biodiversity monitoring initiatives • Demonstrated yield improvements in the range of 5–20% in monitored sites, alongside improved pollination consistency and reduced reliance on reactive hive replacement • Delivery of biodiversity monitoring projects aligned to corporate sustainability and ESG reporting requirements, providing measurable data on insect activity across farming systems showing impacts of regenerative farming practices • Development of a scalable hardware + data subscription model, enabling recurring revenue and repeat deployment across seasons and geographies • A growing dataset of pollinator and insect activity across crops and regions, forming the foundation for predictive analytics and future decision-support tools AgriSound is now focused on scaling commercial deployments through strategic partnerships, expanding its role in biodiversity measurement, and developing predictive tools to optimise both pollination performance and ecosystem outcomes at farm and network level.
Market
- Pollination underpins over $500bn of global crop production annually, yet remains largely unmanaged and unmeasured in commercial farming (IPBES, 2016) • Global demand for fruit and high-value crops continues to rise, driving increased production volumes and placing pressure on growers to maximise yield and consistency (FAO)
- Agricultural systems are becoming more intensive, particularly in high-value horticulture and protected cropping, increasing the importance of optimising every input • Labour shortages and rising input costs are accelerating the adoption of data-driven and automated solutions across agriculture • Retailers and regulators are demanding measurable sustainability and biodiversity outcomes, creating new requirements for objective, field-level data (e.g. CSRD)
- AgriSound is already embedded within a network of growers and partners representing over 55,000 hectares of pollination-dependent crops, providing a clear and immediate pathway to scale • With no established global standard for pollination monitoring, AgriSound has the opportunity to define and lead this emerging category
Exit
AgriSound’s vision is to become the global standard for pollination intelligence, transforming pollination from an unmanaged biological process into a measurable, optimised input across agriculture. By combining scalable sensor technology with a rapidly growing dataset of pollinator and insect activity, AgriSound is building a platform capable of delivering real-time and predictive insights at farm, regional, and supply chain level. Over time, this will extend beyond pollination into broader insect monitoring, enabling growers and supply chains to optimise productivity while delivering measurable biodiversity outcomes. The company’s strategy is to scale through strategic partnerships with global pollination providers, agronomy groups, and supply chain stakeholders, embedding AgriSound’s technology as a core component of modern agricultural systems. This approach enables rapid expansion across large crop areas, supported by a recurring data subscription models. Potential exit opportunities include acquisition by major agricultural input companies, pollination service providers, agri-tech platforms, or sustainability and data-driven supply chain businesses seeking to integrate pollination intelligence and biodiversity data into their offerings. As adoption scales and the data platform matures, AgriSound is positioned to achieve a strategic exit or growth-stage investment that reflects its role as critical infrastructure within the future of agriculture.
