AgriSound

AgriSound is an agricultural technology company that specializes in using advanced acoustic and environmental sensing technology to monitor pollinator populations. Founded in 2020 and based in York, United Kingdom, the company developed a proprietary platform that combines specialized hardware, such as their Polly in-field sensors, with AI-driven algorithms. This system records and analyzes insect sounds to provide real-time, data-based insights. By automating the detection and mapping of pollinator activity, the technology enables precision pollination management, allowing farmers and land managers to identify areas of low activity and target their interventions to optimize crop yields and support biodiversity.

The company's solutions are vital for growers and organizations facing the decline of essential insect pollinators, which are critical for the production of over 75% of food crops. By providing scalable, non-invasive monitoring, AgriSound helps users transition from general practices to informed, data-led land management. Their technology is used to improve agricultural productivity, support regenerative farming projects, and assist corporations in measuring and demonstrating their impact on nature and sustainability. AgriSound collaborates with a variety of commercial and non-profit partners to support habitat monitoring and global biodiversity, with a mission to deploy one million monitoring devices to create a comprehensive, global dataset on pollinator health.
