Agtech - So What?

Bonus: Investing in tech to enable regen ag


Listen Later

Venture investment into technology companies that have the potential to scale regenerative agriculture is accelerating. However, it is a relatively new domain for venture capital, and it comes with its own unique set of challenges.
So what role can VCs play in the regen ag landscape? And what technologies and trends are VCs looking at to guide their investments?
This bonus episode features a discussion from a live panel conversation at the Regenerative Food Systems Investment Forum (RFSIF), in California, with:

  • Renee Vassilos - Director of Agriculture Innovation at The Nature Conservancy.
  • Mark Lewis - Managing Partner at Trailhead Capital, and owner at Lewis Family Farm.
  • Sarah Nolet - co-founder of Tenacious Ventures and the Agthentic Group.
  • Paul Lightfoot (moderator), President of BrightFarms and author, Negative Foods Newsletter

Thank you to RFSI for the recording- this episode is a lightly edited version of the live event. For more information and resources from this episode visit our website. You might also like to catch up on our regen ag series.
