We identify entrepreneurs and businesses rethinking how food is produced, distributed and consumed, supporting their growth as lead investors and highly engaged board members.
With one of the longest established investment teams in the sector, we actively manage a portfolio of over 25 companies, helping them lead positive change in a way that enhances human health and the natural environment, enabling the economic sustainability of farming and food production.
Our approach to food and agriculture is anchored in the belief that what we eat, and each stage of how we grow, produce and distribute food is part of a complex interconnected system that can positively influence our health, ecosystem and climate. How the world fulfils its food needs has become increasingly disconnected from nature and a significant contributor to environmental decline and unhealthy dietary choices. Food producers and growers are not adequately rewarded by the system, nor are they encouraged to invest in its long-term wellbeing.
Through significant advances in technology and analytics we can now better understand the true impact and implications of food. Producing food in a better way will increasingly help enhance our ecosystem and address the spiralling and unsustainable costs of healthcare.
We work to support entrepreneurs and businesses who are harnessing new technologies and advancing alternative approaches which benefit both current and future generations.
