Well said @emilymnorton , great piece!

[Paul Temple @PaulWoldfarm]

Now that’s what I call an opinion piece 👏

[Innovating AgTech @AgtechT]

Good for you! The GFP was the best & most enriching part of my Nuffield travels (although, at times also v tough).

I wish more UK scholars got to take part in them 😔

[Innovating AgTech @AgtechT]

Could not agree more!

[Sarah Nolet @svnoles]

A big reason agri-food corporates find it hard to work with startups is that they struggle to look beyond the 2 most common models for engagement:

1⃣making an equity investment

2⃣becoming a customer

There are more tools in the toolkit!

Our recent #hedgerow planting🌱

At the end of last year, we chose to take responsibility for the carbon emissions from our travel in 2022.

We also decided to plant trees as a gift for friends and customers around the world, further increasing this impact.

Our solution👇🧵

@Liz_Cresswell @NuffieldInt @samcarm88 @HeidiNHall1 @kenyanpigfarmer @KateMorgan24 How about some alt protein / feed companies?, such as
@DryGroLtd (lemna),

@DeepBranchBio & Calysta @FeedKind (single called organisms),

@Entocycle (insect farms)

Also the regulators in this space…

It might not be perfect, but getting to a deal feels like a real step forward

@Zecca_Lehn Some good ideas in the book “Adventure Finance” by @aunnie

@uklatinamerica you’ll enjoy this 🙂

[Farmers No Borders @World_Farmers]

Hello to everyone! My name is Mathias Nario, I’m an Agronomist working in a family farming company in Uruguay. We have summer crops, winter crops, and we also manage livestock; trying to mix both activities. This week I’ll be sharing pictures and videos from the farm.

@KennyLynn15 What an amazing way to travel! And gives you opportunity to organise your thoughts about everything you’ve seen on your trip overall?

Wish there were more trains in 🇺🇸. Tried to go by 🚝from Des Moines to Chicago a couple of weeks ago, but only one / day & times didn’t work😔

“Investing is fundamentally a bet on a vision of the future we believe could exist … agriculture is largely outsourcing the development of that vision, and the placing of bets, to others”

"In many ways, the agricultural system we have now does not work well for farmers, the environment, or society. Diversifying who invests in agritech gives an opportunity to make changes."

@eatcookwrite I think something about waste should be in there… what is being wasted, where that waste is going / becoming. 🤔

Because being in the mode of
_take -> make -> use -> lose_
is to only see part of the system.

[Johnny Gardner @JohnnyGardnerSM]

From dairy robots to macro economics. Amazing to see the constant pursuit for innovation whilst keeping a BALANCE for People, Planet and Profit. Netherlands have there political challenges but great to see some producers are doing what they can control. @nuffieldaust

@awerhun Try Innovating Agtech. Sector focussed, but about entrepreneurship. Podcast documentary … & critique of the status quo!

[Innovating AgTech @AgtechT]

@philosophygeek Alignment of interests was the main theme of my research, (shared in the Innovating Agtech pod series).

Maybe a bit more wide ranging than just VC / entrepreneur alignment, but I definitely have views! You could take a listen or happy to share an overview some time 😊

[Innovating AgTech @AgtechT]

@DurdyEleanor Is an agricultural theme ok?

I’d recommend Innovating Agtech … not just because I made it … but because others have enjoyed it 😊

[Innovating AgTech @AgtechT]

@FarmersOfTheUK Thanks for this thread - lovely clear explanation of your journey, & why it’s never ‘just’ a decision you can make overnight!

[Crop Health & Protection - CHAP @CHAPAgriTech]

It was a pleasure to co-host Indro Mukerjee, CEO of @innovateuk & colleagues, alongside @Agrimetrics at @Rothamsted yesterday

We introduced some of our fantastic project partners @AEH_Hydrogel, @bactobio, @fotenixtech & @smallrobotco

Congratulations @CoverCress - you’ve charted new territory with what you’ve built.

[CoverCress Inc. @CoverCress]

CCI is grateful to our partners for their support in our mission over the last decade. We're happy to create a meaningful exit for early-stage investors & founders following Bayer AG's acquisition of a 65% controlling interest in CCI. Read more here: https://t.co/H2AAZqbQTp

We hear the glittery side of entrepreneurship.

It’s rare to get a less glowing perspective, when things don’t go right.

Thanks for sharing your experience, to be add some balance to the narrative, @philosophygeek

[Mark Johnson @philosophygeek]

Descartes Labs was sold today.

As former CEO, I wrote a final Meditations on the company, focusing on how a high flying startup ended up with a mediocre exit, due to the power imbalance between the VCs and founders.
