🌿 Agritech saw USD1.6 billion invested across 159 deals in Q3 2024, with a 15% increase vs. Q2 in deal value, according to newly released PitchBook data. 📈 This resurgence in investment underscores growing investor confidence in the sector’s potential to address critical challenges in agriculture and climate change. 🎯 Agriculture is no longer a peripheral consideration of tech innovation but the central lens of climate adaptation. Fabio Sofia and Lionel Artusio-Payot, our expert agritech investment partners at Zebra Impact Ventures, explore the agritech landscape in 2025 and outline how we’re positioned for growth 👇 🔗 https://lnkd.in/epMirScB #agritech #agtech #privateequity #naturepositive #sustainableagriculture For professional investors only.

💭 PRODUCING LOCALLY OVER IMPORTING This is what LES CRUDETTES / Groupe LSDH thought when they decided to install a 6000m2 #AEROponic Greenhouse to grow quality crops in #France, year-round. 🌱We’re proud of the wide range of fresh, ready-to-eat salads and vegetables they offer by producing with our solution. You can find their products through various retailers and supermarkets across the country. Thanks to our farming system, they can "make a profit of 20% to 30% of the price," they say. Wouldn't you also like to stop importing and start producing non-stop quality crops? Write to us at sales@cleangreens.ch #greenhouse  #foodproduction #swissmade #farming #growers #agtech #rootsintheair #horizontalfarming #bcorp #cleangreens #sustainability #innovation #weloveaeroponics #swisstech 

The world’s growing population needs feeding, but climate change is already bearing down on agricultural production. Crop varieties will in the future need to be more resilient to physical and biological threats. They will also need to be more efficient in converting the energy and nutrients they receive into food, and in this space, there is plenty of scope for innovation. Genetic engineering has improved a handful of traits (From Process traits to Field traits and quality traits) in a narrow range of crops even if they are grown at a massive scale. But more must be done. Now, with the precision and flexibility of gene editing, plant biotechnology is addressing a much greater variety of important food crops and a much wider range of genetic traits. #sustainableagriculture #agriculture #geneediting #ai #crops Tropic Pairwise Meiogenix Zebra Impact Ventures Mirabaud Asset Management https://lnkd.in/ea_PehzK

The Bio-based Crop input value chain: Pragmatic portfolio construction and the concept of positive bubbles. "Hobart and Huber ( Boom: Bubbles and the End of Stagnation) that investment bubbles are not merely irrational frenzies but powerful coordination mechanisms that, when directed effectively, can drive technological revolutions. Mean that bubbles align people and capital to simultaneously tackle different aspects of a problem or opportunity, elevating the whole. In the case of biologicals, factors such as the global regulatory environment, a slowdown in synthetic molecule discovery, and macro consumer trends have catalyzed the search for alternative input solutions. This has led to advancements in peptide discovery for biopesticides and biostimulants. In turn, research on peptides has highlighted the need for novel formulation technologies, attracting capital and external expertise to establish and fund companies such as Micropep Technologies and AgroSpheres. That convergence of innovation is what makes the bio-space compelling. The discovery of new microbes is intriguing, but when paired with advancements in stabilization technology and application systems, bio-based inputs have a greater chance of benefitting farmers and create new wave of exit in the #agtech space for the common years. That synergy is what makes the segment compelling."

Wishing all a great time off or so. Zebras never stop.

Such a great illustration of the Plant to Emirates vision! In the middle of the Abu Dhabi desert not so far from Al Ain, I visited an incredible farm build just few years ago! The discussion with the Farm Manager was clear: Growing local fresh food is one of the main target for the region backed by players such as ADQ AGWA Abu Dhabi, Bayer | Crop Science and all the potential offtakers Barakat LuLu Group International Spinneys Hilton Hotels & Resorts (just to name a few). Sadly water stress is more and more critical and AgTech is not anymore an option but a clear path forward not only for the massive local market demand, but also to build new commercial opportunities and put the region as a cornerstone for the African & South Asian market. CleanGreens Solutions SA is getting traction here and will be part of the Plant to Emirates vision! See you in 2025! #agriculture #agritech #sustainableagriculture #agribusiness Zebra Impact Ventures Mirabaud Asset Management Mirabaud Group

Portfolio alert: Great visibility of CleanGreens Solutions SA. & how their solution solved one of the biggest challenge in the horticulture sector. In the context of contemporary agriculture, which has largely embraced #ModernFarming techniques, there are certain challenges that receive less attention. These include issues like cross-contamination in hydroponic systems resulting in significant crop losses, the need for frequent replacement of parts due to wear and tear, and the focus of our discussion: clogged nozzles in aeroponic systems", says #Hortidaily. Thanks Hortidaily.com for the article and congrats to the CleanGreens Solutions SA team! Let’s keep pushing 💥🪴🚀 #sustainableagriculture #watermanagement Zebra Impact Ventures Mirabaud Asset Management
