Recognized for revolutionizing irrigation as a soil health and farm resilience solution
Phoenix, Arizona – August 21, 2025 – MyLand, a leading innovator in soil health, today announced it has won the 2025 AgTech Breakthrough Award for Overall Smart Irrigation Solution. The honor recognizes MyLand’s groundbreaking innovation that transforms traditional irrigation into a powerful tool for soil health restoration and farm resilience.
MyLand redefines the role of irrigation in modern agriculture from a simple utility to a dynamic regenerative system that fosters healthier soils and more resilient farms.This award underscores the significance of integrating biology-first solutions with existing agricultural practices, providing measurable on-farm benefits without burdening the farmer.
With thousands of nominations submitted from around the globe, MyLand stood out for its unique approach to improving soil health. The company’s patented in-field Systems connect directly to a farm’s existing irrigation infrastructure and introduce live, native microalgae into the water stream. As growers irrigate, microalgae are delivered directly to the soil. Growers see benefits across the board, including enhanced water use efficiency, higher yields, better quality produce, and increased resilience to stress.
“This is more than a technological innovation. It’s a shift in how we approach farm infrastructure and soil health,” said Dane Hague, MyLand Co-Founder and CEO. “Healthy soil is foundational to a farm’s success. By empowering growers to easily and rapidly improve soil health, MyLand is reshaping what’s possible in agriculture.”
Solving Water Scarcity and Soil Health Challenges
MyLand’s Soil as a Service™ model addresses urgent challenges faced by growers in water-scarce regions, particularly in the Southwestern United States where over-irrigation is often necessary to combat soil salinity. By restoring natural biological processes in the soil, MyLand enables farmers to optimize irrigation efficiency while enhancing long-term resilience.
“MyLand is transforming irrigation into a regenerative tool,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director, AgTech Breakthrough. “MyLand’s biology-first, irrigation-powered solution delivers measurable on- farm benefits. With the MyLand System, irrigation is made smarter by turning it into a delivery system for living biology and long-term resilience, amplifying a farm’s live, native microalgae to
create healthier soil. Congratulations on being our pick for ‘Overall Smart Irrigation Solution of the Year!’”
Importantly, the MyLand System requires no change in grower practices. The unit is fully installed, managed, and maintained by MyLand, operating in the background without adding complexity to a farmer’s daily operations. Its ability to retrofit into existing irrigation infrastructure makes it a scalable and easy-to-adopt solution for farms of all sizes.
“This award is a strong validation of the work we’re doing alongside growers every day,” said Hague. “As a pathway to healthier soil and greater grower ROI, irrigation can offer much more than water delivery. We are honored to be recognized for creating solutions that growers can easily adopt, scale, and sustain.” Winners of other AgTech Breakthrough categories include ADM, Bayer Crop Science, Bloomfield Robotics, Moleaer, and Pivot Bio, placing MyLand among the top innovators shaping the future of food and agriculture.
