The future of
agriculture and food
is in our hands
Adverse climate change and a rising population have been mounting stress on the global agriculture and food systems. In the near future, experts have estimated that there will be 40% LESS farmland and 20-30% LESS crop yield as urbanization continues to double worldwide. Continuing to feed the global population of 9 billion has become a critical agenda for leaders worldwide and a collective mission for international organizations. At Thai Wah Ventures, we aspire to be a catalyst for deep innovation to help improve the entire value chain from farm to shelf, working with start-ups, partners, suppliers and ecosytem innovators to help drive change and scalable innovative food systems.
