The food and AgTech industries are entering a global food transition, much like the global energy transition, according to S2G Ventures, and changing consumer preferences, climate change and shifts in the capital market landscape will continue to shape the future of both food and AgTech.
"The food transition is still in its infancy but is being propelled by seismic tailwinds -- massive demographic change spurring new consumer demand, significant advancements in the biology, chemistry and physics of food production to create new choices and now capital markets anchored by ESG that want to fund high growth, disruptive companies," says Sanjeev Krishnan, S2G Ventures managing director and chief investment officer.

- FinTech will transform opportunities in agriculture, just as it did for the student loan and mortgage markets.
- Adoption of food waste solutions will be recognized as both a good business practice and an essential tool for feeding the world.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms will unlock greater understanding of and use cases for plants and fungi.
