Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food
Business:Investing
A conversation with Sam Kass, former senior nutrition advisor at the Obama's administration and partner at Acre VC. We talk about the potential of VC in the space, the challenges of the real world and why we should focus on getting everyone access to carrots before focusing on the quality and growing practices, why carbon payments is a very interesting and real entry point to scale, and more.
How a young chef became the personal chef of the Obama’s, started a vegetable garden in the garden of the White House and became very active and involved in the food and ag policy. After 6 years he left and started focussing on the investing and entrepreneurship side. Joining an impact VC.
Sam argues we should focus on getting everyone access to carrots (and of course other veggies) before we focus on the quality and growing practices. Don’t have perfect be the enemy of the good and have the whole food as medicine and nutrient density space become super elites. Most people don’t have access to healthy food to begin with, let alone nutrient dense food.
