We’re Vayda.
Vayda (vay·duh) is a technology and services company with the mission to perfect and promote regenerative agriculture systems that propel farm profitability and resiliency at scale.
We are passionate about working alongside farmers to implement innovative solutions that support a successful transition to regenerative agriculture. Vayda works from the ground up, using its own farmed acres and technology to develop field-tested best practices for farm-scale regenerative transitions that can be customized to every operation’s unique context. As such, Vayda paves a transition path that protects a growers’ yield and grows their profitability throughout the conversion to regenerative practices.
We are made up of diverse backgrounds: farmers, scientists, engineers, technologists, agronomists and entrepreneurs. From this diversity comes a great degree of innovation, new ideas and respect for agriculture.
Vayda is a US Public Benefit Corporation backed by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan and other experienced sector investors.
