Global investment company Temasek is being called the “best and most aggressive” agritech investor, with holdings ranging from an Israeli irrigation firm to an Indonesian fish food start-up.
Temasek’s life science and agriculture holdings have grown from US$5.7 billion in 2015 to US$26.7 billion earlier this year. “But if we don’t create a system that is more efficient and resilient to climate change the food security of the planet is at risk,” he added. But since Temasek started agritech investments seven years ago, it has become the industry’s fifth-most-active venture capital fund manager.
