About the GROW Impact Accelerator

Our current food system is at the heart of many of today’s biggest challenges: the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, deforestation, global hunger, and many others. It’s clear that we urgently need to accelerate wide-ranging changes in how we produce, process, package, transport, consume, and dispose of our food.

The GROW Impact Accelerator, backed by AgFunder, drives this transformation by supercharging the growth of emerging foodtech and agtech startups tackling the world’s biggest challenges of sustainability.

Successful companies receive USD$100K investment from AgFunder and in-kind programme benefits, including an accelerator programme that refines your business model for accelerated global growth and plugs you into the AgFunder & GROW agrifoodtech ecosystems.
