Propagate is a software, development and financing ecosystem that makes it easy for farms to transition acreage to agroforestry. Their platform provides access to agronomic insights, technical assistance, and financing so that farms can reduce risk while integrating fruit, nut and timber trees with animal or crop farming systems.

By helping farms incorporate permanent crops using regenerative agriculture practices, known as agroforestry, farms can increase profitability while stewarding climate solutions. 

Founded in 2017, Propagate is a venture-backed company with investors such as The Nest, Agfunder, TELUS Pollinator Fund for Good, The Grantham Foundation, Techstars and Elemental Excelerator as well as a partner of USDA's Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities.

Propagate currently advises 30,000+ acres of agroforestry, supporting over 760,000 trees & shrubs. Propagate also actively manages over 2250 commercial acres, and growing, through its regional agroforestry hubs in NY and KY.
