THE DROP x Food Security & Biodiversity

The food and biodiversity conversation has shifted from “impact optionality” to “national imperative.”

Historically, food and ag have struggled to meet venture return profiles and have falled out of favour from many investors. But climate-driven volatility—combined with geopolitical constraints—is elevating food security to a strategic priority for both governments and capital allocators.

This track focuses on investable approaches to resilient supply chains, yield stability under stress, and biodiversity preservation as a value driver. We’ll look at where public capital is crowding in private investment, how to underwrite long-duration risk in agtech, and where the next generation of scalable, climate-aligned food infrastructure is emerging.
