Gro Intelligence

Gro Intelligence was an agricultural data analytics company founded in 2012 by Sara Menker. The company utilized AI, big data, and machine learning to provide insights for farmers, businesses, and governments. Its platform integrated data from various sources, including satellite imagery and government statistics, to predict crop yields, monitor food security, and analyze market trends. The services offered by Gro Intelligence focused on decision-making tools that aimed to enhance agricultural efficiency and improve food security outcomes. The company played a role in addressing critical issues like the African food crisis by providing data to inform policies and interventions. Notably, Unilever was one of its largest customers, highlighting its presence in the consumer packaged goods sector. In 2024, Gro Intelligence ceased operations, and its intellectual property and data assets were acquired by Almanac, which plans to use them to enhance its own agricultural data analytics offerings.
