Olombria

Olombria is an agricultural startup based in the United Kingdom that was founded in 2017. The company's mission, encapsulated in its slogan "Future systems for pollination, using flies and precision agri-tech for a changing world," addresses the crucial issue of declining insect pollinators, particularly bees, which poses a substantial risk to crop production and food security worldwide. Recognizing the vital role of insect pollination in crop yield, Olombria provides horticultural growers with essential information on pollinators and environmental conditions. Additionally, the company leverages chemical volatiles to manage pollinating fly species, thereby increasing crop productivity and ensuring sustainable food harvests for the future. Olombria's innovative approach to pollination and crop productivity has attracted investors, with the company securing a Pre Seed Round investment on 16 April 2019 from SVG Ventures | THRIVE. As the agricultural industry faces increasing challenges due to climate change and environmental degradation, Olombria's focus on sustainable and precise agri-tech solutions positions it well for future growth and impact.
