Sustainable Food Production & Food Security
At Pivotas, we are committed to advancing the global food system towards sustainability and security. By providing growth capital to innovative companies in sustainable food production, we aim to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing our planet.
As the world’s population grows, so does the need for sustainable agriculture and robust food security measures to protect our environment and ensure public health.
The global food industry is at a critical point. With the population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, the demand for food is skyrocketing. Traditional agriculture is straining natural resources, leading to deforestation, soil degradation, and significant greenhouse gas emissions.
Sustainable food production, focused on resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact, is essential to meet future food demands without harming the planet.
Food security is equally crucial. Ensuring a stable and reliable food supply—from farm to fork—is vital for public health, economic stability, and consumer confidence. As challenges like climate change and global pandemics arise, robust food security measures become even more important.
Environmental Stewardship: Investing in sustainable practices like organic farming and precision agriculture promotes responsible resource use, reduces environmental impact, and combats climate change.
Public Health: Enhancing food security ensures access to nutritious food, contributing to the overall well-being of populations and reducing the risk of food scarcity.
Economic Viability: Innovations in sustainable agriculture and food security drive economic growth and open new market opportunities, with growing consumer demand for ethically produced food.
Resilience and Food Security: Sustainable practices and robust food security measures strengthen food systems against disruptions, ensuring a stable and reliable food supply.
Consumer Demand: There’s a rising preference for sustainably produced and secure food, giving companies that prioritize these values a competitive market edge.
Aquaculture: Land-based fish farming through Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)
Closed Environment Agriculture (CEA): Vertical farms and smart greenhouses
AgTech: Smart irrigation, AI-driven productivity enhancers, and advanced fertilizer formulations
Precision Agriculture: Data-driven farming technologies that optimize resource use and enhance crop yields
Alternative Proteins: Plant-based, cultured meats, insect proteins, and other sustainable protein sources.
At Pivotas, we aim to support the transition to a sustainable and secure global food system. We provide growth capital to innovative companies leading in sustainable food production and food security, aiming to create a healthier planet for future generations.
