Mitti Labs

Mitti Labs (operating at mittilabs.earth) is a climate-tech platform engineered for sustainable agriculture, specializing in reducing methane emissions from rice farming—a critical yet overlooked source of global greenhouse gases. Founded in 2023 by Devdut Dalal, Xavier Laguarta Soler, and Nate Torbick, the company combines satellite technology, AI-driven analytics, and on-the-ground advisory services to transform rice cultivation practices. Under the hood, Mitti Labs leverages real-time satellite data and machine learning to monitor soil conditions, water usage, and methane output, while providing farmers with actionable insights to adopt low-methane farming techniques. This allows smallholder farmers—who produce over half the world’s rice—to slash emissions, conserve water, and generate verified carbon credits through digital measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems. Backed by a $12.5 million total funding round, including a $9.5 million Series A, Mitti Labs is scaling rapidly to address water resilience and climate action in Asia’s rice-growing regions.
