Grosvenor Food & AgTech (previously known as Wheatsheaf Group) is an international investor in food and agriculture businesses.

Our focus is to rethink and re-shape how food is grown, produced, distributed and consumed We partner with like-minded people to understand the complex interconnectedness of our agricultural ecosystem to manage its effects and enhance human health, our environment and enable producers to thrive

We are one of the largest and longest established investment teams in the sector Adopting a far-sighted perspective, we aim to develop innovative business models and harness the insights and power of technology to identify, develop and scale up lasting solutions

Our approach to food and agriculture is anchored in the belief that what we eat, and each stage of how we grow, produce and distribute food is part of a complex interconnected system that can positively influence our health, ecosystem and climate

How the world fulfils its food needs has become increasingly disconnected from nature and a significant contributor to environmental decline and unhealthy dietary choices Food producers and growers are not adequately rewarded by the system, nor are they encouraged to invest in its long-term wellbeing

Through significant advances in technology and analytics we can now better understand the true impact and implications of food

Producing food in a better way will increasingly help enhance our ecosystem and address the spiralling and unsustainable costs of healthcare

Our work is to use capital and expertise with a far-sighted perspective to act on this knowledge and advance alternative approaches which can benefit both current and future generations

We are one of the largest and longest established investment teams in the food and agriculture sectors

We invest in and partner with ambitious and like-minded companies throughout the world to re-think and re-shape how food is grown, produced, distributed and consumed
