In the last decades, weather events, as well as political and financial instability have brought to the fore the vulnerability of our food system, with three food crises between 2008 and 2012. As we look ahead to the middle of this century, the number of people which the world must feed is expected to increase by another 50%, translating into a substantial rise in the demand for agricultural production. FAO estimates the increased demand at 60% of current production. Any serious attempt to meet such a demand in a sustainable and resilient way will involve changes in the way we produce, retail and consume food. The food sector, in fact, is not only a victim but also a cause of climate change. It is estimated that it currently accounts for about one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. To compound matters, the food production puts a tremendous strain on natural resources such as land and water, ultimately affecting negatively also biodiversity. For these reasons, food has been increasingly incorporated into climate discussions, both in the public and private space. Climate foodtech startups started gained momentum also in the VC space. This landscape has been realized in partnership with Foodlabs.
