Food & agriculture
Food & agriculture
With a growing world population, global demand for food will increase >50% by 2050, increasing pressure on land use and freshwater. Yet, one-third of all food produced is wasted. We invest to fuel the transition to a regenerative, protective and waste-free food system.
A regenerative, resource-efficient, and waste-free food and agricultural system.
Food and agriculture sit at the centre of the climate, biodiversity, and resource challenge. Without systemic change, rising demand and inefficient practices will continue to strain land, water, ecosystems, and food security.
Our investment thesis
We invest in technologies that enable a regenerative, resource-efficient, and resilient food system. Our focus spans from primary production to processing and waste, backing solutions that reduce emissions, protect land and water, and increase system efficiency at scale.
What we are looking for
- Technologies that reduce food loss and waste across the value chain
- Ag-tech solutions that lower inputs, emissions, and environmental impact
- Scalable models supporting regenerative and resilient food production
- Solutions that decouple food growth from land, water, and resource intensity
