Inari Agriculture focuses on improving crop performance through advanced genetic research. The company uses CRISPR technology to make precise changes to plant DNA, enhancing traits that lead to better yields and resilience. Inari's process begins with building genetic knowledge to identify beneficial traits, followed by generating diversity through targeted genetic modifications. The resulting enhancements are integrated into elite parent seeds, which are then distributed through partnerships with seed companies to reach farmers. This model allows Inari to provide seeds that promise higher yields and better performance. The company's goal is to support farmers and agricultural businesses by delivering innovative solutions that improve crop productivity and sustainability.

L’AgTech traverse une période de transformation profonde. Longtemps soutenue par les investissements en Corporate Venture Capital (CVC), l’innovation agricole doit aujourd’hui composer avec une réduction significative des financements. Plusieurs acteurs majeurs du secteur, à l’image de FMC Ventures, ont mis fin à leurs investissements en capital-risque, tandis que le fonds commun Bayer-Trendlines AgTech Fund, initialement prévu jusqu’en 2025, a été dissous fin 2024. Ce repli marque un changement d’approche des grandes entreprises, qui privilégient désormais les acquisitions ciblées et les investissements stratégiques à court terme plutôt que le soutien aux jeunes entreprises en phase de développement. Depuis plusieurs années, le secteur de l’AgTech connaît une contraction progressive des investissements en capital-risque. Les chiffres sont éloquents : selon PJ Amini, directeur senior chez Leaps by Bayer, les financements en AgTech ont chuté de 30 à 40 % par an depuis le début de la décennie, après un pic d’activité en 2018
