Our food supply is under extreme pressure from inflation, climate change and geopolitics. It’s time to reinvent it now.
Food production is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions and environmental destruction. As our population grows, we must figure out how to feed more people while preserving our biosphere and combating escalating global inflation. We invest in companies across the whole food value chain that reinvent our global food system to be sustainable, secure and nutritious, including:
Farming
Radical advances in agriculture technology and indoor vertical farming will reinvent how we feed our global population. We look for investments in aquaculture, hydroponics, regenerative agriculture and other technology-led solutions that increase efficiency and sustainability in farming.
Production
Our food companies face growing cost, climate and efficiency challenges, making it harder to feed our growing population in a nutritious way. We look for investments that transform our food supply chains, safety and nutrition, as well as expand alternative protein and food production.
Distribution
We have the opportunity to reinvent food distribution to reduce our carbon footprint and offer more direct, nutritious options to consumers. We look for investments that reinvent our food distribution networks and offer customers new, sustainable and healthy food options.
