Trace Genomics
Based in San Francisco, California, Trace Genomics
use high-throughput DNA sequencing, AI and a
growing database of microbial species living in soils to
identify and profile the soil microbiome. The company
designed the first microbiome test to provide growers
with insights on how to achieve more efficient nutrient
use—how to reduce input costs and crop disease risk—
and which seeds, rotations or biological agents work
best for their soils.
“Trace Genomics’ platform digitizes and decodes
the living soil using genomics, advanced science,
and machine learning. Our recent advancements
interpreting the soil environment reveals the
importance of soil health, advances new product
discovery, and informs optimal product placement,”
said Poornima Parameswaran, President and
Co-Founder.
Hummingbird Technologies
No stranger to AI, Hummingbird Technologies is an
AI business that utilizes machinery learning and
computer vision techniques. According to its website,
the company uses imagery and data analytics from
UAV, plane, and satellite technology, combined with

farmers with actionable intelligence of their crops at a
canopy level, and at critical decision-making junctions
in the season.
Hummingbird Technologies has a big focus on
sustainability — its AI tech models and measures the
effect of management practices on the environment,
enabling farmers to move toward more sustainable
practices.
We cannot possibly cover every AI-powered company
