381: Investment trends - where's the smart money heading in the food industry?

<div>In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast we are following the money, looking ahead and asking where investors will be putting their cash in 2023.<br> <br> It is not necessarily a straightforward question, the world continues to be a complex place.<br> <br> We have had <a href="https://foodmatterslive.com/podcast/the-long-term-impact-of-britains-hottest-summer-food-podcasts/">heatwaves</a> and floods, <a href="https://foodmatterslive.com/podcast/rising-inflation-what-will-it-mean-for-the-food-industry-food-podcasts/">inflation</a> is causing economic turmoil all over the place, and <a href="https://foodmatterslive.com/article/russia-ukraine-conflict-spiking-prices-and-the-threat-to-global-food-security/">the ongoing conflict in Ukraine</a> is causing global turbulence as well as devastation for the people and the industry in that country.<br> <br> So what does this mean for investors? Is food and <a href="https://foodmatterslive.com/theme/agri-food-tech/">agri-tech</a> still a good bet?<br> <br> If we had recorded this episode 12 months ago, alternative meat and ag-tech would be two of the big hits rising up the investment charts.   <br> <br> But there are signs of a slow down in both these areas.<br> <br> So where are the sharp-eyed investors looking as 2023 approaches? And where is the smart money heading?<br> <br> <strong>Guests:<br> Andrew Ive, Founder, Big Idea Ventures<br> Ivan Farneti, Managing Partner, Five Seasons Ventures</strong> </div>
