At Klim, we work with farmers and food companies to make regenerative agriculture scalable and financially rewarding for farmers. Through our platform, we help farmers restore soil health, increase biodiversity and capture carbon while creating new, reliable income streams.

We’re a Berlin-based AgriTech startup backed by $22M in Series A funding, partnering with global food leaders such as Nestlé and Kaufland to reduce emissions across their supply chains and build long-term resilience.

Since 2020, we’ve supported 3,500 farmers managing over 900,000 hectares.

If you’re passionate about building a sustainable food system and driving real climate impact, join us and help create a healthier planet!
