Welcome to Ethical Foods Fund. We are investing in good-for-the-planet, early-stage food companies.
(THIS WEBSITE IS CREATED WITHOUT IMAGERY TO LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION WHILE IN USE.)
In order to feed 9 billion people, something has to change.
There is an opportunity and a responsibility to help values-based food founders make positive change to the ecosystem through sustainable and regenerative means.
Helping to grow companies, build local economies and feed current and future generations.
We are the ethical food group.
This is the biggest opportunity in food since the agricultural revolution.
We need to build a possible future where a just food system meets the health needs of our entire global population, and provides a lucrative financial return for all stakeholders—from the woman smallholder farmer to the multinational asset managers and commercial bankers.
