What Miraterra does

Miraterra Technologies Corporation is a Vancouver-based agricultural technology company that builds an AI-driven measurement platform integrating Raman spectroscopy, soil DNA sequencing, and satellite/remote sensing imagery to decode the biological, chemical, and physical composition of soil, plants, and food. Its core product is the Digitizer, a multi-laser Raman spectroscopy instrument with automated calibration and machine-learning-based signal processing (including Shifted-Excitation Raman Difference Spectroscopy), supported by the world's largest proprietary soil DNA library acquired through its July 2025 purchase of Trace Genomics. The platform spans four solution areas — SoilSolution, PlantSolution, FeedSolution, and FoodSolution — and is supplemented by the Trace by Miraterra e-commerce store selling modular soil tests priced from US$11 to US$258.

The company primarily distributes through soil testing laboratory channel partners rather than selling directly to farmers, complemented by enterprise direct sales to large agricultural laboratories and CPG food producers, and an e-commerce channel for individual agronomists and growers. Revenue mechanics include Digitizer hardware sales, per-test unit pricing for Trace products, laboratory services, and recurring platform/insights subscriptions. Customer segments span soil and agriculture testing laboratories (enterprise), agronomists (mid-market), growers (SMB), and consumer food/CPG companies.

Founded in 2022 as a subsidiary of Terramera, Miraterra closed an oversubscribed CAD$16 million seed extension in March 2026 led by At One Ventures, with participation from Farm Credit Canada, S2G Investments, Sitka Foundation, and iSelect. The company is the winner of the 2025 ALL IN Agritech Competition and participates in the AIVA Network for on-farm validation across over 297,000 acres in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Revenue model

1. Soil Testing Products: Sale of individual soil chemistry and biology tests through Trace by Miraterra e-commerce store. Products include Trace Complete ($258), Trace Biology ($237), and various individual tests ranging from $6-$34. Revenue is generated through per-test unit pricing with delivery timeframes of 3-15 days.
2. Digitizer Hardware: Sale of the Digitizer instrument - a Raman spectroscopy device that combines novel hardware, signal processing, machine learning, and computational chemistry. The device is sold to soil testing laboratories.
3. Laboratory Services: Lab-based soil analysis services providing chemistry and biology measurements including pathogen detection (72 crops, 255 pathogens), microbiome analysis (bacteria, fungi, AMF), nutrient cycling indicators, and trace scores.
4. Platform/SaaS Insights: AI-driven platform that translates soil's biological and chemical intelligence into actionable insights. The platform reads land from above using geospatial tools, measures chemical/physical properties with the Digitizer, and combines with soil DNA library data.

Core offering

Miraterra produces lab-quality findings in soil labs, the field, and the ground through an AI-driven measurement platform combining its proprietary Digitizer (multi-laser Raman spectroscopy instrument), genomics/DNA sequencing, satellite imagery, and machine learning. The company sells the Digitizer hardware to soil testing laboratories and offers modular soil test products (TraceCOMPLETE, Trace Biology, TracePHOS, TraceN, TraceCHEM, TraceCARBON) through its e-commerce store, enabling comprehensive chemical, biological, and physical soil analysis from a single integrated system.

Product overview

Miraterra operates as a unified platform-plus-modules architecture combining proprietary hardware (Digitizer) with software analysis solutions. The core offering consists of the AI-driven soil measurement platform that reads land from above using geospatial tools, measures chemical and physical properties via the Digitizer Raman spectroscopy instrument, and combines this with the world's largest proprietary soil DNA library (acquired via Trace Genomics). The platform integrates biological, chemical, and physical soil data through AI into actionable insights. The product portfolio spans four solution areas: SoilSolution (chemistry to microbial DNA), PlantSolution (nutrients to plant stress), FeedSolution (protein to starch), and FoodSolution (additives to pollutants). The Trace sub-brand (acquired from Trace Genomics) provides modular testing products including TraceCOMPLETE (comprehensive soil package at US$258), Trace Biology (US$237), and tiered chemistry packages (Basic US$11 through Full & N US$33), along with specialized tools for phosphorus (TracePHOS), nitrogen (TraceN), chemistry (TraceCHEM), and carbon (TraceCARBON) management.
