Antony Yousefian, general partner at The First Thirty, advocates for an "agri-health" investment approach that views agriculture as a contributor to preventative healthcare rather than just food production. The firm avoids investments dependent on farm-level margins, instead seeking technologies that capture value further along the supply chain and attract investors from health-tech, biotech, and longevity sectors. Their systems-based strategy focuses on building interconnected portfolios where companies can create more value by collaborating. Advances in AI and related technologies are making these integrated approaches more viable, while new exit opportunities are emerging through private equity and AI-driven business models.

Former Defra Secretary George Eustice argues that agricultural innovation should prioritize resilience over automation, emphasizing the need for technologies that enhance soil health and reduce reliance on costly inputs. He identifies biostimulants, organic fertilisers, and soil-enhancing products as key to building resilience against volatile weather and economic shocks. Eustice calls for regulatory reforms to assess agricultural products by risk rather than arbitrary categories and supports rewarding farmers for sustainable practices that improve profitability and environmental outcomes. He also advocates for regulatory flexibility to spur scientific innovation, stressing that agri-tech must focus on resilient farming systems as climate pressures mount.
