AG 4 Future
Food Accelerator

“When we were approached to join the Agrifood 4 Future Food programme, we were immediately drawn in! We feel that Gruppo Sella’s vision to support AgriFood is aligned with our vision in support of the sector as a critical contributor for impact in the sustainability space. Although our food system contributes to climate change, the reverse also holds true. Due to increasing temperatures, rising sea levels, novel pest species, and shock weather events, climate change is influencing how we grow crops, creating a vicious cycle. PeakBridge’s view is that there is a need for disruption, which will come from innovation in terms of enabling technologies such as Alternative Agriculture, Alternative Proteins, Waste Circularity, Novel Ingredients. The ever-growing funding directed towards FoodTech in the last years has been key in establishing the sector. Further FoodTech venture capital investment is needed to ensure the sector continues to grow and scale to be able to reach the audacious climate goals”

“Agri-tech holds enormous expectations for finding effective solutions for agriculture and climate change, and there is an increasing interest from governments and investors. If properly scaled, many promising innovations could have a tremendous impact.
CGIAR Accelerate for Impact Platform scouts and supports talented teams and their science-driven ventures that hold the potential to radically transform agriculture for healthier, equitable, and sustainable food systems while contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals.”

“Sella Group’s daily and structured commitment to contributing to a more sustainable world is strengthened today with an initiative in a key sector for society and the planet, agriculture, and it does so by involving key players in renewal: startups, companies that can accelerate positive change with concrete results through sustainable innovation, in line with Sella’s ESG initiatives and objectives.”
