Access Appropriate Capital for Your Food & Ag Business

Raise Sensible Capital

We invest in small firms throughout the sustainable farm and food ecosystem, including agricultural inputs, farming & ranching, processing and value-added producers, distributors, retailers, restaurants, tool-makers, supporters, and waste managers. We run special funding programs for regenerative Farmers and Ranchers.
Direct Investment from FI
Rarely, but sometimes, FI directly invests, for our own account, in selected high-impact sustainable food and agriculture entrepreneurs.
