End-Year Investor Meeting in Argentina 🙌 After successful meetings with investors from Chile, Brazil, and Mexico, we closed the year meeting with Argentine investors. We would like to thank Galicia Ventures for organizing this meeting where investors, founders of our portfolio of companies, farmers and key industry players participated. This event featured interesting panels and debates to define the next steps for the sector. We firmly believe that these types of meetings are crucial to fostering innovation and collaboration. By working closely with our strategic partners, we can drive positive change in the industry and meet the changing needs of our stakeholders. We also thank those who have accompanied us from the beginning and all those who participated in this event. Together, we are building a brighter future for the agrifoodtech ecosystem!

The entire #TheYieldLabLatam team united! 😍 At The Yield Lab Latam, we recently gathered our entire Latin American team to reflect on our journey, wrap up the year, and set our sights on new goals for the future. We're incredibly proud of the diverse and talented team we've built across different regions and disciplines. This meeting reinforced our commitment to driving innovation in the agri-food industry with focus on supporting farmers and addressing their specific needs. This year, we've: 👉 Expanded our Portfolio: by adding four new promising agtech startups to our portfolio Beeflow Courageous Land umgrauemeio iDeal - Business Performance 👉 Forged Strategic Partnerships: The addition of strategic investors such as the Global Environment Facility and Grupo Garces further solidifies our position as a leader in agri-food innovation. 👉 Built a Stronger Ecosystem: We continued to build a robust network of partners, collaborating with both global corporations like Nestlé and Grupo Bimbo and regional players like Surcos and Nesters Tech . While there are many other activities that we undertook this year, we would like to acknowledge and commend the exceptional work of this dedicated team. Let's go for more! 💪

New opportunities for agribusiness! We are seeing a lot of consumer interest in having more traceability and sustainability in products, and on the other end, we need data that generates visibility and efficiency for rural producers and companies operating in the sector. In the following interview on the program "A Força do Agro" by Revista Oeste, Kieran Finbar Gartlan discusses the opportunities in agribusiness and what The Yield Lab Latam offers to companies that invest in our funds and to the startups that are part of our portfolio.

Have you ever wondered what carbon emissions are and why they are so important? 🤔 As a leading venture capital firm in Latin America, we're at the forefront of AgriFoodTech innovation, working with a diverse and multicultural team that recognizes the challenges facing different sectors and even the world. Carbon emissions are a significant issue that many overlook. Well... we don't! That is why we participate in events such as #EarthNight , celebrated in honor of #HalfEarthDay . This event brought together investors, entrepreneurs and experts to analyze the most innovative solutions for the sector that can help us protect our planet. It is essential, in times like these, that we begin to review production systems to improve efficiency and at the same time continue to take care of our natural resources that are not infinite. Thank you to our partners Impact Ventures PSM Dalus Capital and SP Ventures ! It was a pleasure co-hosting this event with you. And thank you everyone who joined us at this special event, organized as part of México Tech Week. We are excited about the future of #AgriFoodTech and its role in a more sustainable world.

What challenges do climate change and geopolitical tensions pose for farmers? 👀 In our latest Quarterly Market Update, Roberto Vitón discusses the challenges facing farmers and highlights the impact of trade and regulatory factors. Competing trade blocs, evolving regulations, and political developments are some of the topics he discusses, but the most intriguing aspect of his analysis is the focus on technological solutions developed by Latin American entrepreneurs to address the challenges facing the agricultural sector. At The Yield Lab, we celebrate the talent and innovation emerging from our region. We're committed to fostering connections and supporting projects that can significantly impact agriculture, both regionally and globally. Read the full market update here! 👉 https://lnkd.in/d6_iS8Si

We were present at AGSTAR! ✋ The Yield Lab team once again witnessed all the alliances and networks that are built in spaces such as #Agstar , a meeting held in Bogotá that is committed year after year to providing a space for the exchange of knowledge, conversations and networking between key players in the agri-food system. This year's meeting also offered a valuable opportunity for the winning StartUps of the #AGSTAR contest to present their pitches to prominent investors in the sector. Agstar is built upon three core pillars: 👉 Focus: Identifying critical challenges facing the agri-food sector. 👉 Search: Showcasing innovative StartUps that offer solutions to these challenges. 👉 Integration: Connecting key industry stakeholders through a platform rich in proposals to address their needs. Driven by these pillars, #TheYieldLabLatam proudly continues to support this event, actively participating in panels and debates. We firmly believe that such spaces are essential for cultivating a thriving network, where new actors contribute their expertise and collectively improve the entire production chain, ultimately boosting the productivity of our projects. 💪

With an eye on tomorrow, we are taking action today 🧐 From October 23rd to 25th, we participated in Latin America's most important business center, #ExpoAgroFuturo 2024 edition. The event took place in Bogotá, Colombia and it was Tomás Peña who, on this occasion, represented The Yield Lab by participating on the "Ecosystem Panel" where he discussed the implementation of innovative solutions that simultaneously address food security, climate change and biodiversity loss. Additionally, Tomás moderated the Agtech panel: "Innovation and technology in action. The potential of technology in agriculture: greater productivity and sustainability." Once again, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting events like #ExpoAgroFuturo , which build bridges between the key players in agriculture.

Global Technology, Local Application 🌎 In line with YLL's grassroots approach to engaging with our strategic investors in building a sustainable food value chain, we recently visited Nestlé's headquarters in Vevey to report and discuss 2024’s progress, latest developments, findings, and alignment for 2025. We attended the meeting with our partners from #YieldLabEurope , which broadened the scope of the discussion beyond Latin America. In addition to showcasing top Latin American talent to Nestlé , we also provided an in-depth assessment of advanced technologies tailored to each region where #Nestlé operates. This involved a comprehensive, disruptive, and localized vision of how technologies are applied in each of the countries involved. Among the many topics we discussed as a team, the Global Sustainable Dairy Challenge, which we successfully concluded and Nestlé sponsored that same week with a major closing event in Amsterdam, stood out as a prime example of our ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between our investors and the most advanced global projects. This was achieved through a deep understanding of our investors' needs, combined with the effective implementation of globally recognized talent scouting initiatives.

✨🌐 Exciting News! We are thrilled to announce our latest investment: Courageous Land is now part of our portfolio! 🚀 Courageous Land, a pioneering agroforestry-tech company based in Brazil, has just closed an investment round and is ready for a significant leap forward! The investments so far have been led by Fundo Vale, Seedstars International Ventures and The Yield Lab Latam, with participation from JLL Foundation, Wedgetail, and former Goldman Sachs investment management leaders, strategic angel investors, and family offices. Recently, the company launched a platform for agroforestry intelligence to identify the economic potential of transforming degraded lands and, thus, scale up agroforestry systems, or SAF, which are the productive techniques that combine commercially valuable crops with reforestation or the preservation of native vegetation. 🌱 What makes this business incredible: * Courageous Land’s proprietary Agroforestry Intelligence™ Platform provides land stewards with agroforestry software, financing, management, and crop/carbon sales support. * Their carbon-neutral products assist corporate partners in their decarbonization efforts. * By integrating diverse trees into farmland, Courageous Land’s network of land stewards maximizes carbon removal and produces nature-positive ingredients, including coffee, cocoa, fruits, nuts, timber, and more. 🌍 Led by Philip T. Kauders , Gilberto Terra , and Luiza Avelar , the company’s mission is to combat climate change while promoting abundance and health for life on Earth. 💡 Learn more about the new platform: https://lnkd.in/djCJU75c
