Agriculture Capital is an investment firm that specializes in agriculture and food sectors, particularly focusing on permanent cropland and related midstream assets. They manage two investment funds dedicated to cultivating high-value produce, such as organic blueberries, citrus, grapes, and hazelnuts. The firm emphasizes a vertical integration approach to grow, pack, and market these crops, aiming to align with consumer values for sustainability and quality. Their investment strategy extends to scaling regenerative agriculture practices to foster non-concessionary returns, minimize environmental risks, make their funds resilient, and create better food while addressing the challenges of climate change. Agriculture Capital is advancing a resilient food infrastructure that not only increases access to healthy food but also adds value to the farmland it oversees. They focus on rebuilding natural capital to support food systems, enhancing soil health for better food production, ensuring biodiversity protection through increased wild pollinator species, and achieving zero waste in their midstream facilities. Their approach is data-driven, prioritizing the measurement of financial, environmental, and community impact, with a reported 20,000+ acres of farmland regeneratively managed, 100,000 metric tons of CO2 sequestered annually, and a significant increase in wild pollinator species abundance. Agriculture Capital’s team comprises experts in finance, farming, processing, marketing, sales, supply chain, and impact, all working towards transforming agricultural investment strategies. The firm's commitment to regenerative agriculture is further reflected in their educational efforts and partnerships aimed at integrating carbon removals and emission reductions, which support corporations' net-zero goals.
