Creating a Sustainable Food System, One Company at a Time.

Agriculture faces continuously increasing demand pressures stemming from population growth, the westernization of global diets, and the popularization of biofuels.  At the same time, the supply-side is stressed by the availability and cost of natural resource inputs like arable land, fresh water, and fossil fuels.  This double squeeze is paving the way for steadily increasing agricultural commodities prices.  We focus on this long-term trend, while focusing on an even higher-growth niche within the broader agriculture industry: sustainable agriculture.

Consumers are examining the origins of their food and demanding more sustainable methods of food production and distribution.  In response to this consumer demand, natural resource depletion, and economic necessity, agriculture and food corporations are requiring more environmental food production, sourcing, and distribution methods.  In response, a solutions-based sustainable agriculture industry has emerged.

NewSeed seeks to capitalize on the need for a more sustainable food system by directing capital toward an undercapitalized industry with an enormous potential market.
