Why FoodTech & AgTech?


Driven by shifts in eating habits, population growth, climate change, and failing soils, our food and agriculture industry faces moonshot-sized challenges. 

Agri-FoodTech entrepreneurs are stepping up to solve these problems by harnessing the most advanced technologies. From plant-based protein, gene-editing, drones and indoor farming to satellite imaging, precision farming, and computational biology, founders are driving radical transformation in our food and agriculture system with technology.

 

AgriFoodTech investment reached $29 billion in 2022, up more than 7X from 2012.



"One of the things that has helped accelerate agtech is AgFunder; you guys have been phenomenal in educating the market, both the VCs and the entrepreneurs, and I’m really thankful for the help you guys are bringing to this space.”
