Yara Growth Ventures

Yara Growth Ventures operates as the strategic investment arm of a leading global crop nutrition company. It actively deploys capital into disruptive startups across the agri-food and agritech sectors worldwide. The firm identifies and supports innovative solutions designed to enhance sustainable food production and agricultural efficiency, extending its parent company's long-standing commitment to global food security.

Established in 2021, Yara Growth Ventures emerged from the parent company's century-plus history of addressing global food challenges, initially founded to combat famine in Europe. This venture capital unit was created with the insight that fostering external innovation through strategic investments is crucial to accelerating progress in sustainable agriculture and responsibly feeding a growing world population.

The firm's focus lies in partnering with early-stage companies whose technologies and business models align with a vision for a greener, more productive food system. Its portfolio companies leverage patient capital and strategic guidance to develop and scale solutions that benefit farmers, improve resource efficiency, and ultimately contribute to a more resilient and sustainable global food supply chain.
