The fund backs businesses in the food and agriculture value chain with an emphasis on continuity, sustainable growth, and practical improvements in how products are produced, traded, and brought to market.

In Food & Agri, that translates into investing in companies that make a difference in areas such as product quality, transparency, sustainability, and supply-chain resilience.
