Agrifood

General

We have been building our Agrifood investment portfolio since the mid-40’s when family Van Puijenbroek invested for the first time in a farm in the Netherlands.

We have direct and indirect investments in:

  • Food system change solutions, e.g. reduction of waste
  • Plant based (vegan, vegetarian, healthy food) solutions
  • Innovations in the field of protein alternatives, e.g. insects and lab-grown meat
  • Technology reducing negative impact, e.g. pesticides and chemicals
  • Regenerative solutions
