Grosvenor Food & AgTech

Grosvenor Food & AgTech (formerly Wheatsheaf Group, founded 2012) is the food and agtech investment arm of the Grosvenor family estate. The firm's approach is anchored in the belief that what we eat, and each stage of how we grow, produce and distribute food, is part of a complex interconnected system that can positively influence health, ecosystem, and climate. GFA supports entrepreneurs and businesses reshaping how food is produced, distributed, and consumed to improve human health, environmental sustainability, and to make farming and food production economically viable — acting as active lead investors and highly engaged board members across a portfolio of over 25 companies. GFA frames its impact along three stakeholder categories — the planet, the producer, and the consumer — and requires all portfolio companies to contribute to 'Sustainable planet' while fulfilling at least one further objective around 'Thriving producers' or 'Improving health and nutrition'. The team favours accepting scaling and implementation risk rather than early-stage technology or market risk, focusing on companies with proven, scalable business models and solutions to systemic food system issues across the full value chain, from crop inputs to consumer products, with geographic focus on North America, the UK, Europe, and Oceania.
