INVEST IN INNOVATIVE FARMERS TACKLING THE CHALLENGES OF OUR FOOD SYSTEM.

The market alone cannot solve the problems of the challenges in our food system; nor are donations and aid enough to tackle the challenges we face. Our investments is a third way that seeks to bridge the gap between the efficiency and scale of market-based approached and the environmental impact of pure philanthropy.

OUR APPROACH TO INVESTING

Capital that dare to go where markets have failed and aid fallen short.

  • PATIENT CAPITAL

    Rather than investing traditional capital we invest philanthropic or “patient” capital that provides innovative farmers with the flexibility and security to grow their business.

  • EARLY-STAGE INVESTMENTS

    We make seed and early investments that enable farmers to validate assumptions, start regenerative methods and bring nutrient food and services to market.

  • ACCESS TO EXPERTISE

    We provide the farmers with access to our network, expertise and advisors who have deep knowledge about farming, regenerative methods and building businesses.

  • POST-INVESTMENT SUPPORT

    To help the farmers and their businesses grow, we offer active post-investment support and guidance in the areas of strategy, governance, customer insight and fundraising.
